66 -- INSTRUMENTS AND LAB EQUIPMENT SOL N65540 POC J. Winward, Code 9533. Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, Ship Systems Engineering Station, is seeking general information from manufacturers of fixed and portable refrigerant leak detection equipment. The Navy would like a stationary system capable of monitoring for refrigerant leakage in the space around shipboard air conditioning and refrigeration machinery. The ideal system should be able to sample the air at multiple locations and provide a readout in ppm of refrigerant concentration with multiple alarm levels and data-logging capability. The types of refrigerants detected should inlcude R-134a, R-114, and R-12. Also sought is manufacturer information on hand-held electronic refrigerant leak detectors for pinpointing the source of leakage. The Navy plans to evaluate this equipment and prepare a specification for competitive procurement. This is not a request for proposal and does not commit the government to the award of a contract. Any comments provided may/may not be included in a formal solicitation. The government will not pay for any information received in response to this request nor will the government compensate any respondent for any costs incurred in developing the information provided to the government. Please do not telephone. Interested manufacturers should mail product literature including any technical/performance specifications by 19 July 1996 to: Commander, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, Ship Systems Engineering Station, Code 9533, U. S. Naval Base, Philadelphia, Pa 19112-5083, Attn: J. Winward. (0180)
