325th Contracting Squadron/LGCX, 501 Illinois Avenue, Suite 5, Tyndall AFB, Florida 32403-5526

A -- RESEARCH MANPOWER SUPPORT POC Mr. Larry G. Edwards, Contracting Officer, 904 283-8661, or Mr. Qui Carroll, Contract Specialist, 904 283-8662. The objectives of this effort will include the research and development (R&D) of technologies for environmental risk management and environmental risk assessment for site remediation, industrial hazardous waste reduction and destruction, hazardous air pollutant control, and the fate and transport of environmental contaminants derived from Air Force operations. Most of the work will be performed using the laboratory facilities, equipment, and materials of Armstrong Laboratory, Environics Directorate at Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida. Personnel qualifications required to perform these functions include scientific and engineering research, development and technical expertise and experience in the following areas: (1) Investigation, design, development, and validation of technologies for the biological and/or chemical destruction of industrial hazardous wastes; (2) Investigation, design, development, testing and validation of biological and/or chemical technologies for remediation of soils and ground and surface water contaminated by chlorinated solvents and fuels with emphasis on in-situ technologies; (3) Development of air pollution control devices for reducing emissions of hazardous air pollutants; (4) Design and conduct laboratory and field simulations to determine the environmental reaction mechanisms, kinetics, and transport phenomena that govern the behavior of hazardous materials with environmental media; (5) Theoretical studies to model, evaluate, and predict the behavior and fate of environmental pollutants in all natural media; (6) Investigate, design, development and validation and testing of easy-to-use, real-time, an accurate sensors and field detection systems for the characterization, monitoring, and process controls of environmental pollutants; (7) Engineering and scientific feasibility studies to address critical system component design, performance, and limitations of scale-up operations; (8) Economic and engineering analysis of waste treatment and pollution control technologies to assess, evaluate, and develop trade-offs for control strategies, waste disposal alternatives and material recovery process; and (9) Technical recommendations in performance review, studies, audits, evaluations and analyses. Areas of acquisition support consist of, but not limited to: (1) Assist in translating DoD user requirements into performance criteria for designing, developing, testing and evaluation of emerging technologies; (2) Create, monitor and evaluate test plans, and participate in the conduct of component testing; (3) Review and analyze equipment proposals or contract modifications for operational feasibility, compatibility, and cost effectiveness; (4) Witnessing or participating in the conduct of tests, audits, and site visits; and (5) Apply operational and administrative skills to review, comment upon, and support technical adequacy, distribution and control of contract data items. Potential sources will be screened against the following criteria: (1) Organic Senior Management experience in environmental science and engineering research and development; (2) Demonstrated capability to put together a technical management and scientific and engineering staff having advanced degrees in management, acquisition, and technical areas contained in this synopsis, and (3) Corporate capability to meet short time peak demands for highly specialized skills associated with R&D programs. Contractors responding to this synopsis must provide evidence of capability for fulfilling the above requirements to include past experience with similar efforts, (i.e., portfolio, SF 254, or equivalent must be included with response). Responses will be evaluated and a solicitation source list established of those determined capable of fulfilling the government's requirements. It is anticipated that the contract will be for a Base year and four 12 months options periods. The successful offeror will be required to establish a Direct Support Group (DSG) at Tyndall AFB FL. Firms having applicable interest, capability and background should submit particulars in accordance with Numbered Note 25 and the above criteria to 325 CONS/LGCX, Attn.: Mr. Qui Carroll, 501 Illinois Avenue, Suite 5, Tyndall AFB, Florida 32403-5526. Responses to this synopsis must be received within 15 days from the date of publication. For contractual information, contact Qui Carroll, 325 CONS/LGCX, Tyndall AFB, FL 32403-5526, (904) 283-8622. For technical information, contact Ms. Nancy S. Myers, AL/EQPM, 139 Barnes Drive Suite 2, Tyndall AFB, FL 32403-5323, (904) 283-6737. Firms responding to this synopsis should state whether or not they are a small business concern. The US Air Force reserves the right to consider a small business set-aside based on responses hereto.
