A -- RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT FOR SURFACE PREPARATION, MODIFICATION, AND CHARACTERIZATION FOR NAVY APPLICATIONS SOL N00014-97-R-HA03 POC Hilda R. Abdon, Contract Specialist, Code 3220.HA (202) 767-0682, Wayne A. Carrington, Contracting Officer, Code 3220.WC, (202) 767-6572 E-MAIL: click here to forward a request via e-mail, synopsis @ contracts.nrl.navy.mil. The Naval Research Laboratory(NRL) has a requirement basic and applied research in the development and characterization of surface properties of interest to the Navy. Both on- and off-site support is required in each of the following ten technical areas: (1) Friction/Wear Testing and Surface Analysis of Modified Surfaces; (2) Air Purification; (3) Electrode Interface Chemistry; (4) Chemical and Biological Microsensors; (5) Interface Modification/Analysis; (6) DNA Sequencing; (7) Dynamics; (8) Techniques for Drug/Toxin Detection Identification; (9) Non-Ozone Depleting Chemical Data Base; and (10) Shipboard Auxiliary Systems R&D. Respondents must demonstrate expertise in surface characterization diagnostics; carbon based filter media and plasma techniques for the removal of chemical, biological or radiological hazards from the atmosphere; modified electrodes, microelectrodes, and dispersion electrochemistry; chemical microsensors for CBR and environmental monitoring; surface modification technologiessuch as ion implantation and chemical vapor desorption; surface reactions associated with depositions and etching; analytical techniques for the detection/identification of drugs in bodily fluids; data bases on the physical, chemical, toxicity and safety, recycling, destruction, conversation, and other properties of alternatives for ozone-depleting chemicals; and methods and materials to control or eliminate corrosion of hull, mechanical and electrical (HM&E) systems. It is anticipated that the period of performance for this requirement will be a Base effort for 12 months with four (4) one-year options. Additional requirements will be provided in the solicitation. No telephone requests for this requirement will be accepted. Request for information to this notice should be submitted in writing to the Naval Research Laboratory, Attn.: Code 3220:HA, 4555 Overlook Avenue, SW, Washington, DC 20375-5326, or by forwarding a request to SYNOPSIS@CONTRACTS.NRL.NAVY.MIL. Facsimile requests may be forwarded to (202)767-5896 or (202) 767- 6197. Solicitation closes thirty (30) days after issuance. SYNOPSIS .HA03. (0178)
