99 -- TECHNOLOGIES AND DEVICES THAT MAY USED TO DETECT, IDENTIFY AND QUANTIFY CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL AGENTS IN WATER SUPPLIES DURING WATER SOURCE SITE SELECTION, PRODUCTION, STORAGE AND DISTRIBUTION TO CONSUMERS SOL n/a DUE 073099 POC see web site in description below The United States Department of Defense is seeking sources for existing technologies and devices that may be used to detect, identify, and quantify chemical and biological (CB) agents in water supplies during water source site selection, production, storage, and distribution to consumers (including shower points and personnel decontamination stations). This includes technologies and devices that collect, concentrate, and/or extract CB contaminants from volumes of water not less than 20 gallons to 50,000 gallons. Devices can be in-line continuous or batch processing. The program is currently conducting a technology selection in FY99. Priorities are high sensitivity (ppm/ppb/ppt levels), low false alarm rate, cost, power size, and weight. The program is scheduled for transition to EMD by FY02. Estimate 20,000 fielded units required for advanced acquisition. To Participate in the Technology Selection please read and fill out the Transmittal Letter and Questionnaire before close of business July 30, 1999. Return questionnaire by email and Transmittal letter by mail (original with signature required). Letter and Transmittal Letter can be obtained at the following web site: http://www.apgea.army.mil/RDA/ecbc/rt/PRODSER/JSAWM/jsawm.html Posted 07/06/99 (W-SN350493). (0187)
