B -- SERVICES ENTITLED, SOLID PHASE BIOREMEDITION TECHNOLOGIES FOR USE AT ARMY INSTALLATIONS SOL n/a POC Mr. Wayne Sisk, (410)612-6851 This is a market survey being conducted by the U.S. Army Environmental Center, APG, MD, for the Army Industrial Operations Command, Rock Island, IL to identify innovative bioremediation methods for treatment of soils and sediments containing organic explosives and organochlorine pesticides. The Army is seeking to identify sources of larger scale bioremediation technologies. Bioslurry and composting technologies will not be considered. In addition, to satisfy specific requirements, USAEC is seeking only solid phase bioremediation technologies that may be applied ex-situ or in-situ (in place without significant excavation) and which use indigenous microbial populations and do not require inoculation. Respondents must be able to show bench-scale testing data showing the technologies efficiency at mass reduction of both organochlorine pesticides and organic explosives. Interested companies should submit a brief description of the technology, its ideal applications, and appropriate data to substantiate thatthe technology qualifies with the above listed requirements. All responses to this request should be made in writing and should be received by the U.S. Army Environmental Center no later than Nov 20, 1997. This is a stand-alone (sources sought) announcement. There are no RFPs being prepared at this point. All submittals received will be reviewed and the information received, and the technologies identified may be considered for incorporation in future draft (if any) and final Requests for Proposals (if any are issued). This is a request for information only and is not to be misconstrued as a solicitation for proposals. This announcement is not to be considered as a commitment of the Government. No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information. This is a market survey only. Interested parties with qualifying technologies should submit two (2) copies of submissions to the U.S. Army Environmental Center office listed above. (0289)
