14 -- DEMILITARIZATION OF U.S. ARMY TACTICAL MISSILES POC Glenn Pippen, Contract Specialist, AMSAM-AC-TM-T, (256) 842-7138/ Sandra Byars-Smith, Contracting Officer, AMSAM-AC-TM-T, (256) 876-4201 Paragraph 1) The purpose of this announcement is to serve as a market survey to determine the acquisition strategy for the demilitarization of U.S. Army Tactical Missiles. The U.S. Army missile demilitarization stockpile has been growing rapidly over the past several years and will expand dramatically by FY 2004. Approximately 50,000 missiles are in the current stockpile awaiting demilitarization. Over 600,000 missiles may require demilitarization by FY 2014. The U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command, in conjunction with PEO Tactical Missiles, is developing a demilitarization concept whereby the private sector will share this effort. The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) is interested in identifying and employing Resource Recovery, Reclamation and Recycling (R3) technologies whenever cost effective. Further, said R3 capabilities must be integrated into environmentally benign, transportable, missile demilitarization systems. The missiles and components of the tactical missiles suitable for R3 opportunities includes (1) warhead systems and metal carcasses, (2) system components to include electronic circuitry (some contains precious metals), and (3) energetics. The DOD is seeking companies interested in participating in this R3 effort and request that interested parties provide technical ideas and/or methods for review. A characterization of specific missiles and component makeup, i.e. warhead composition (RDX/TNT/HMX), motor propellant ingredient, explosion class (1.3/1.1) will be made available upon request. Interested parties must have Secret Clearance minimum. Paragraph 2) THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL. This announcement is an expression of interest ONLY and does not obligate the U.S. Government in any way. This announcement is for planning purposes ONLY and will not result in contract award. The U.S. Government will not be liable for any costs associated with preparation of any response to this announcement or its associated informational package.
