K -- SOURCES SOUGHT FOR MODIFYING PAINT REMOVAL BLASTING BOOTHS FOR REMOTE OPERATION DUE 041999 POC Maj Ellen England; ellen.england@guardian.brooks.af.mil E-MAIL: Click here to contact the technical specialist via, ellen.england@guardian.brooks.af.mil. This is NOT a Request for Proposal. This is a market survey for the 311th Human Systems Wing, Risk Analysis Directorate, Safety and Health Division (IERA/RSHI), Brooks AFB TX. The purpose of this market survey is to locate sources of existing technology that can be used or adapted to enable retrofitting existing blasting booths so that the operator can be positioned outside the booth. The Air Force has a number of blasting booths approximately 20 ft wide by 20 ft high by 25 ft long that are used in aircraft maintenance operations to remove paint from aluminum aircraft parts using a plastic blasting media. The object of the proposed modification of these booths is to allow the operator, for health and safety reasons, to perform the operation outside the booth. We are searching for existing technology and eqipment to facilitate a technology transfer. Companies must demonstrate that they have knowledge and experience in manufacturing equipment that will perform satisfactorily for this intended purpose. Posted 03/25/99 (W-SN312695). (0084)
