20 -- SHIPBOARD SOLID WASTE INCINERATOR SOL N00167-99-R-0007 POC Roger N. Branstiter (301) 227-5782 E-MAIL: Click here to contact the assigned Contract Specialist, branstiterrn@nswccd.navy,mil. The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, has a requirement to obtain an advanced thermal destruction incinerator system for installation aboard large US Navy Combatant Ships. This incinerator system shall consist of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) equipment that shall meet the technical and operational needs of the U.S. Navy or be modified to do so. This incinerator system shall include all equipment, controls, structure and special tools and equipment associated with processing the solid waste stream generated by large U.S. Navy ships. This processing shall include the pretreatment, feeding, combustion, ash removal and exhaust gas treatment that the incinerator system employs to meet the specification. Shipboard integration efforts to implement this incineration technology aboard ship, including waste staging, ash storage, service connections and exhaust ducting, are not part of this effort. The incinerator will be installed in the space vacated by an existing MIL-SPEC incinerator that is currently aboard many U.S. Navy warships. It is anticipated that the new incinerator will provide a significant enhancement in performance over the equipment currently employed, and will reduce overall solid waste management operating and support costs. The system will undergo laboratory and shipboard evaluations to verify the system's suitability for shipboard use. Its installation is to be accomplished by the assembly of modular components carried through ship hatches and passageways and without incurring major impacts to ship architecture or causing loss of habitable space. Once successfully developed, this technology may be installed on several Navy platforms such as nuclear and non-nuclear aircraft carriers, and large amphibious assault ships. All responsive and responsible sources may submit a proposal which will be considered. The contract type will be Firm Fixed Price, with the option to obtain one (1) additional incinerator system. It is anticipated that the solicitation will be issued on or about 15 March 1999, with the receipt of proposals due 30 days thereafter. Copies of the solicitation can also be requested by sending a FAX to (301) 227-1583 or by E-mail to branstiterrn@nswccd.navy.mil. Fax and E-mail requests shall contain the requestor's address, voice and fax phone numbers, and a point of contact. Posted 02/11/99 (W-SN297549). (0042)
