B -- SOLICITATION OF SOURCES: EMERGING AND CURRENT TECHNOLOGIES ON AUTOMATED OR DIGITIZED FUEL AND WATER TANK GAUGING AND QUALITY MONITORING DUE 062098 POC Carey Mitchell (810) 574-4154 E-MAIL: Click here to contact the buyer via e-mail, mitchele@cc.tacom.army.mil. The Petroleum & Water Business Area of the US Army TACOM-TARDEC in Warren, MI is seeking to identify sources that are capable of providing emerging and current technologies that will advance the Army's present capabilities in the following areas: fuel and water tank gauging and fuel quality monitoring. We are interested in automated or digitized tank gauging systems for both hard-walled tanks and collapsible fuel and water bags (500-gallon to 210,000-gallon size). These remote-gauging systems shall be capable of being linked into a computer database through radio waves, phone transmittal, etc. or through a receiver that can connect to a computer mainframe. The remote tank level indicator shall be capable, but not limited to, collecting the following data: probe status, probe ID, tank level, temperature, time and date of reading and battery, or power source, condition. The indicator shall have a port for sampling. The fuel quality analyzer shall be capable of measuring oil deterioration and the amount of engine wear particles. The system shall be small, rugged, portable and also include a port for sampling. The remote tank level gauge and the fuel quality analyzer can be considered two separate systems, but both shall have a similar way of transferring data from the gauge to a computer database. Please provide any general drawings, diagrams, or brochures that would assist in describing your products or ideas. Materials shall be mailed to: US ARMY TACOM, ATTN: AMSTA-TR-D/210, Carey Mitchell, Warren, MI 48397-5000. Currently there is no funding in this area, but our interest in investigating advanced technologies may eventually result in procurement action to replace the existing fuel and water equipment. If you specifically request, all the information and documentation will be treated as proprietary. The U.S. Army will retain all information and documentation provided. The effort you expend and information you submit in response to this request shall be provided at no cost to the Government. Any information submitted under this effort will become property of the U.S. Government. (0138)
