The U.S. Army Program Manager for Assembled Chemical Weapon Assessment (PMACWA) anticipates negotiations with the Mitretek Systems, Incorporated, McClean, VA on a sole source basis. The PMACWA requires wide-ranging types of engineering analyses in support of the mission for demonstrating at least two alternate technologies to incineration for the disposal of chemical weapons as mandated by Public Law 104-208.

It is imperative that the performance of this effort not be jeopardized by either potential business opportunities, or business arrangements which have been, or may be, entered into by the contractor with facility designers, equipment manufactures, facility operators, or any other contractors. If any responsible source other than the MITRETEK Systems Corporation can fulfill the above requirements and wishes to submit a proposal, it will be considered. See Note 22. (0182)
