A -- MARKET SURVEY -- SOURCES SOUGHT BIOLOGICAL AND HYBRID DETECTION DEVELOPMENT SOL SOURCE-00SO-UGHT POC Barba Drebenstedt Contract Specialist (309)782-4955 (Site Code DAAA09) E-MAIL: drebenstedt,b@ioc.army.mil, drebenstedt,b@ioc.army.mil. The Rock Island Arsenal is conducting a market survey -- sources sought to identify industry/academia that have ongoing projects/research and/or product development in the areas of biological and hybrid detection technologies. In this instance, hybrid detection technologies are capable of both biological and chemical detection. The detection technologies should be agent resistive and decontamination survivable, under current development, and soon to be ready for production. Technologies of interest include, but are not limited to the following: 1. Point Detection; 1.1 Collection; 1.1.1 Aerosol samplers; 1.1.1.1 Impactors; 1.1.1.2 Cyclones; 1.2 Trigger; 1.2.1 Particle Airborne Particle Sizer; 1.2.2 Shape and Size analysis; 1.3 Trigger and Detection; 1.3.1 Pyrolysis Ion Mobility Spectrometry (ISMS) and/or Mass Spectrometry (MS); 1.3.2 Flame Photometry; 1.3.2.2 Pyrolysis/luminescence; 1.3.4 Fluorescence based; 1.4 Detection; 1.4.1 Bio-luminescence; 1.5 Detection and Identification; 1.5.1 Advanced Spectrometry; 1.5.2 Flow cytometer; 1.6 Identification; 1.6.1 Antibody based; 1.6.1.1 Fluorescent Airborne Particle Sizer (FLAPS); 1.6.1.2 Smart tickets; 1.6.1.3 Fiber Optic waveguide; 1.6.1.4 Surface plazmon resonence; 1.6.1.5 Resonent mirror; 1.6.2 Gene based; 1.6.2.1 Polymeric Chain Reaction (PCR) based; 11.6.2.2 Direct hybridization; 1.6.2.3 Ion channel switch; 1.6.2.4 Biomimetic; 1.6.2.5 Polymeric imprints; 2 Standoff Detection (Active and Passive); 2.1.1 Ultraviolet (UV); 2.1.2 Infrared (IR); 2.1.3 Near Infrared (NIR); 2.1.4 Microwave; 2.1.5 Millimeter wave// Parties should state any Research and Development project on-going/planned and manufacturing capabilities. Parties may also identify technologies and/or techniques not listed above that they feel may be relevant. Mature research currently being pursued by private industry and academia can be used as a foundation for defense applications. Interested parties should respond to this market survey by transmitting two hard copies of the information on their relevant and specific products or projects no later than 22 days after this publication. Information should include specifications (weight, size and detection levels), brochures, literature papers, articles, etc that explain the material, coating, associated manufacturing process, technology or technique used. Only written communications will be accepted and should be addressed to: US Army Materiel Systems Analysis Activity, Attention: AMXSY-LR (N M Hoesly) Rock Island, IL 61299-7260. Please note: There is no firm requirement for this and funds are not available. This action has no relationship to any formal solicitation. No solicitation will be issued at this time. Participation in this effort is strictly voluntary with no cost or obligation to be incurred by the Government. The Government will in no way be obligated to purchase all or any part of the description above. All information obtained from this request shall be made available for competitive bidding purposes, should the need arise. Posted 06/30/99 (A-SN349202). (0181)
