A -- BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT FOR INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES ADDRESSING VARIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS SOL N47408-96-R-6342 DUE 043097 POC Contract Specialist, JOHN SCOTT, 805-982-5080, FAX 982-5396 This announcement constitutes a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center (NFESC) under FAR 6.102 (d)(2) to solicit information. This innovative technology search will be used by the Navy Environmental Leadership Program (NELP) Technology Initiative II (NTI II) and other NFESC Environmental Programs to actively seek out innovative technologies to reduce environmental impacts from current and past Navy operations. The environmental problems and areas of concern for this BAA apply to Navy installations world-wide. NFESC is interested in new and innovative technologies and methodologies that reduce environmental impacts from current Navy operations.To be eligible for Navy consideration and possible award of a demonstration contract, the new and innovative methodologies must be in the Advanced Development Stage,ready for field demonstration, and capable of full scale implementation if the demonstration is successful. Interested parties should submit an original andtwo copies of each abstract to: Commanding Officer, Naval Construction Battalion Center, NAVFAC Contracts Office Code 27235,1000 23rd Avenue, Port Hueneme, CA 93043-4301. For technical information regarding this BAA, call Danelle Lopez at NFESC at(805) 982-0535. For contractual information, call John Scott at NAVFAC Contracts Office at (805)982-5080 fax 982-5396. Abstracts will not be evaluated against each other,since each presents a unique technology with no common workstatement.Offerors who submit abstracts considered beneficial to the Navys environmental programs will be asked to contract for a demonstration. There is no commitment by the Navy to make any contract awards,nor to be responsible for any monies expended by the contractor before an award of a demonstration contract,should it occur. Multiple contracts may result with funding ranging from an estimated $20,000 to $500,000 for each contract award. Submittals to this BAA shall be in abstract form describing the merits and objectives of what the contractor is offering. The abstract (not a sales brochure) shall be titled,shall identify the relevant Topic 003,004,005,or 006, shall identify the offeror's name and address,and shall concisely describe what the contractor is offering the Navy,with sections on:(a) The overall innovativeness, scientific/technical merits,and objectives of the offer. (b) The offeror's capabilities,related experience, techniques, or unique combination of these which are integral factors in achieving the offeror's proposed objectives. (c) The qualifications,capabilities, and experience of the principal investigator, team leader, or key personnel who are critical in achieving the objectives of the offer. (d) The reasonableness of cost relative to the proposed scientific/technical approach, or other relevant cost data. The offerors abstract, submitted in three copies,shall be no longer than three pages, single-sided, and 12 pitch. One attachment of up to 10 pages (singlesided) of test data may be submitted as an attachment to theabstract. It should contain results of previous tests,demonstrations, and projects to support the contractors proposed scientific/technical approach. The abstract submittals to this BAA will be reviewed by a NFESC Technical Evaluation Board on three separate occasions, throughout a period of one year from the date of the initial BAA announcement(May 1996). The first cutoff date for abstract submittals to this BAA was June 28,1996. The second cutoff date was November 29, 1996. The third and final cutoff date for submittals is April 30, 1997. Based on the abstract review results,and subject to availability of funds and demonstration sites, vendors with a technology or methodology found to have merits for specific Navy environmental programs will be sent site-specific information and asked for a full technical and cost proposal for a potential contract award. The purpose of any resulting contract will be to demonstrate and conduct a full scale implementation to solve a specific Navy environmental problem.The following are Topics,all included under this 6342 BAA and not under separate BAAs,which encompass a full range of Navy environmental problems to be solved. TOPIC NO. BAA 96-003 for TECHNOLOGIES, PROCESS CHANGES, AND MANAGEMENT PRACTICES FOR POLLUTION PREVENTION NFESC is seeking innovative technologies,process design changes, and management practices to minimize the amount of pollution generated during operations and maintenance. This topic includes a wide range of materials and processes.TOPIC NO. BAA 96-004 for ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE TECHNOLOGIES AND METHODOLOGIES NFESC is seeking innovative technologies,process design changes, and management practices to comply with local, state, and federal environmental regulatory requirements.This topic includes a wide range of services. TOPIC NO. BAA 96-005 for TECHNOLOGIES AND METHODOLOGIES FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES NFESC is seeking innovative technologies, process design changes, and management practices to conserve natural resources of the Navy in accordance with local, state, and federal regulatory requirements. This topic includes a wide range of services. TOPIC NO. BAA 96-006 for ASSESSMENT AND REMEDIATION TECHNOLOGIES AND METHODOLOGIES FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CLEANUP NFESC is seeking innovative technologies,process design changes, and management practices to assess and remediate the existing pollution generated by past operations. This topic includes a wide range of materials,processes, and services. Notes:(a)The preceding data is all that should be needed to submit an abstract. There are no additional solicitation documents applying to this BAA.(b) As no funding for demonstration contracts has been reserved in advance, the Navy will be passing selected abstracts to other Navy and DoD activities to seek demonstration sites and funding.(c) Do not resubmit abstracts identical to those previously submitted for the two prior cutoff dates.(d) NAVFAC Contracts Office will reply to all offerors,forwarding TEB evaluation results and stating whether or not theGovernment is interested in contracting for a demonstration.
