A -- DEVELOPMENT OF ADVANCED SENSOR TECHNOLOGY DEVICES AND SYSTEMS SOL DE-RP26-99FT40234 POC Kaye Bloniarz-Cook, Contract Specialist, (304) 285-4827; Randolph R. Cooper, Contracting Officer, (304) 285-4160 Development of hybrid sensor array systems capable of detecting,discriminating, and measuring concentrations of pollutants created in processes such as fossil energy combustion, utilizing chemiresistive and surface acoustic wave (SAW) technologies with films such as semiconducting metal oxides, metals and polymers. In addition, it will be critical to pursue advancements in development of intelligent neural networks and systems integration processes to add versatility to a sensor system's capabilities to simultaneously detect multiple contaminants. The contract is being issued to Sensor Research and Development in cooperation with the University of Maine because they possess the unique and necessary skills, long-term understanding and experience in sensor techniques for the detection and monitoring of trace contaminants in gases, liquids, and solids. The personnel at the center have the unique direct experience in the field that governs this project. Having already undertaken several projects involving the development of sensor technology and extensive proprietary information relative to the deposition parameters of various films relative to the sensor response illustrates their ability to immediately have an impact on tasks to be issued. This request is considered sole source to Sensor Research and Development Corporation. Therefore, no solicitation will result from this announcement. Requests for information should be addressed to Kaye Bloniarz-Cook, MS I07, Morgantown, WV 26505-0880. Note 22 applies. Posted 01/27/99 (W-SN291817). (0027)
