68 -- SHIPBOARD AUTOMATIC LIQUID AGENT DETECTOR (SALAD) POC Mr. Pete Troia, Contracting Officer, SEA 02423, (703) 602-0200. SOURCES SOUGHT - SHIPBOARD AUTOMATIC LIQUID AGENT DETECTOR (SALAD) The Naval Sea Systems Command has a planned requirement for a shipboard liquid chemical agent detector. SALAD is intended to be a fixed point detection system used to detect and alarm for liquid chemical agent contamination of the ship's exterior and provide an automatic, remote indicating, and timely detection system to increase personnel survivability in the event of a liquid agent attack. The system shall respond to nerve (G,V) and blister (H) chemical warfare agents. An important operational feature shall be that it monitors the ship's exterior in real time and detects and differentiates these agents at low concentrations with a minimum response to alarm in less than 60 seconds. The Naval Sea Systems Command would like to receive information regarding the availability of commercial and non-developmental items and/or industry capability to produce these detectors. Responses to the above are requested by 30 August 1996 and shall be addressed to Naval Sea Systems Command, ATTN: SEA 03Z7, Mr. W. Noyes, 2531 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22242-5160. This announcement does not constitute an Invitation for Bid, a Request for Proposal, or commitment of any kind. Although there will be no reimbursement or compensation provided for responding to this announcement, the cognizant contracting officer, Mr. Pete Troia, NAVSEA 02423, (703) 602-0200, does appreciate any responses provided. ??
