325th Contracting Squadron, 501 Illinois Avenue, STE 5, Tyndall AFB, FL 32403-5526

A -- RESEARCH SUPPORT SOL F0863797R6004 DUE 052797 POC Mr. Rick Kelley, Contracting Officer, (904)283-8661, Mrs. Robin Harasin, Contract Specialist, (904)283-1035 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, and 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 reviews, studies, audits, evaluations and analyses. Areas of acquisition support consist of, but are 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. It is anticipated that the contract will be for a Base 12 month period and four 12 month option periods. The successful offeror will be required to establish a Direct Support Group (DSG) at Tyndall AFB FL. Screening criteria as stated in the initial CBD synopsis of 1 Oct 96 will not be used. All interested firms should submit a request for a copy of the solicitation to 325 CONS/LGCX, Attn: Mrs. Robin Harasin, 501 Illinois Avenue, Suite 5, Tyndall AFB, Florida 32403-5526. Include your fax number and whether or not your firm is a small business concern. Firms that responded to the initial CDB announcement need not resubmit a request. Estimated solicitation issue date is 10 April 1997. All interested parties are notified a preproposal conference and site visit is tentatively scheduled for 24 April 1997. Firm conference date will appear in the solicitation. (0073)
