A -- BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT FOR INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES AND METHODOLOGIES ADDRESSING VARIOUS ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS SOL N47408-00-R-2105 DUE 063000 POC Paulette K. Peterson, (805) 982-5091 WEB: Interested parties may submit their information for, http://enviro.nfesc.navy.mil/esc414/baa/baa-abstract-submittal-form.ht ml. E-MAIL: For questions regarding this BAA, call NFESC at (805), gbaa@nfesc.navy.mil. First Cutoff (30 JUN 00): This announcement constitutes a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center (NFESC) under FAR 6.102 (d)(2) for information. This BAA supercedes the previously issued BAA N47408-96-R-6342 and N47408-98-R-3940 and all associated cutoff dates. Abstracts submitted under these previously issued BAAs will be considered "expired" three (3) years from the cutoff date for which they were submitted (e.g. 6/30/96 cutoff expired 6/30/99 and 11/30/96 cutoff expired 11/30/99). "Expired" abstracts will no longer be available for contract award under this program. Abstracts that were submitted under the previously issued BAAs may be resubmitted (if found acceptable or unacceptable) under the new criteria outlined in this announcement. All abstracts submitted under this and future announcements of this BAA will expire three (3) years from the cutoff date for which it is submitted, and must be resubmitted after that time. NOTE: Due to the evolving nature of innovative technologies and the Navy's requirements, abstracts receiving an "acceptable" rating under one cutoff date may or may not receive a similar rating under a future cutoff date. SIGNIFICANT CHANGE: All abstracts must now be submitted through an electronic form located at the following Internet address: http://enviro.nfesc.navy.mil/esc414/baa/baa-abstract-submittal-form.ht m. No other formats are acceptable for submission to this BAA. If you have a problem using this form, or if you do not have Internet access and need a electronic copy of the form, please notify the POC above or the NFESC BAA Hotline at (805) 982-1592 or e-mail: gbaa@nfesc.navy.mil. When submitting an abstract, be sure to do so in a timely manner as no extensions to this cutoff date will be made. Abstracts submitted after this cutoff date will be considered for the next cutoff date (every six months). CRITICAL NOTE: A CONTRACTOR LICENSE/REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED FOR THIS BAA, BUT A CONTRACTOR IS REQUIRED TO REGISTER WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE'S CENTRAL CONTRACTOR REGISTRATION (CCR) IN ORDER TO DO BUSINESS WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE. NO CONTRACT AWARD WILL BE MADE TO ANY CONTRACTOR THAT IS NOT REGISTERED OR IN THE PROCESS OF REGISTRATING WITH THE DOD CENTRAL CONTRACTOR REGISTRATION. THE DOD CENTRAL CONTRACTOR REGISTRATION MAY BE REACHED AT (888) 352-9333, OR FACSIMILE (616) 691-5305, OR EMAIL dlsc-cso@dlsc.dla.mil. A link to the CCR Internet site is located with the abstract submittal form. This innovative technology search may be used by NFESC and other government agencies to actively seek out new and innovative environmental technologies and methodologies that reduce environmental impacts from past, present, or future military operations. The environmental issues and areas of concern for this BAA apply to government installations worldwide. To be eligible for consideration and possible award of a contract for a field application, the technology or methodology must be: (1) new and innovative, (2) in the Advanced Development Stage (not requiring further research or design development prior to field application), and (3) capable of full scale implementation if the application is successful. The innovative technology must not be a commercialized technology or already used by the Navy in full-scale applications. The following are two Topics included under this BAA and not under separate BAAs, which encompass a full range of environmental issues to be addressed. TOPIC NO. 01: TECHNOLOGIES AND METHODOLOGIES FOR ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT, RESTORATION, AND CLEANUP -- NFESC is seeking innovative technologies and methodologies to assess and remediate existing pollution generated by past military operations. This topic includes a wide range of materials, processes, and services related to site restoration and remediation. TOPIC NO. 02: TECHNOLOGIES, PROCESS DESIGN CHANGES, AND MANAGEMENT PRACTICES FOR POLLUTION PREVENTION -- NFESC is seeking innovative technologies, process design changes, management practices, and methodologies to minimize the amount of pollution generated during present and future operations and maintenance. The major P2 thrust areas are (but are not limited to) to reduce, recycle, and/or eliminate the use of hazardous materials from machine and metal working, cleaning and degreasing, metal plating and surface finishing, painting and coating, paint stripping, ordnance manufacturing/demilitarization, pesticides/herbicides, composites, refrigerants and solvents, and Halon in firefighting operations. Major compliance issues are (but are not limited to) controlling air emissions, characterization and monitoring of wastewater discharges, treatment and storage of HM/HW, noise and oil spill control, assessment and monitoring. As stated above, abstract submittals to this BAA shall be submitted through the ELECTRONIC FORM ONLY. Each electronic form shall address only one technology or methodology and one topic. Separate forms shall be submitted for each additional topic or additional technology or methodology. The submittal shallconcisely describe the innovative technology for Navy application and shall be evaluated according to the following CRITERIA which should be specifically addressed in the form: (1) The overall innovativeness of the technology, (2) The scientific/technical merits of the technology, (3) Concrete objectives of the offer (offeror should clearly state the objectives of a field application project), (4) The offeror's capabilities, related experience, personnel, techniques, or unique combination of these which are integral factors in achieving the offeror's proposed objectives, (5) The estimated cost for a field application project including (but not limited to): permitting issues, mobilization and demobilization, chemicals and equipment, safety considerations, and any other considerations necessary to successfully apply the technology in the field. Approved abstracts will be available to Government personnel on the Internet through a protected web site. No additional data may be submitted for this BAA and information submitted in addition to that on the submittal form will be discarded. Abstracts will be evaluated on their own merits and will not be evaluated against each other, since each presents a unique technology with no common work statement. A peer review board of engineers and scientists will review the submittals to this BAA after the cutoff date. Based on the review results, and subject to the availability of funds and demonstration sites, contractors with a technology or methodology considered applicable to a specific environmental need may be asked to contract for a field application of their technology or methodology. Multiple contracts may result. THERE IS NO COMMITMENT BY THE NAVY TO MAKE ANY CONTRACT AWARDS, NOR TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY MONEY EXPENDED BY THE OFFEROR BEFORE AN AWARD OF A FIELD APPLICATION CONTRACT, SHOULD IT OCCUR. The purpose of any resulting contract will be to apply the innovative technology or methodology in the field to solve a specific Navy environmental problem. Notes: (1) The preceding data should be sufficient for completing an electronic form. (2) There are no solicitation documents applying to this BAA. (3) As no funding for demonstration contracts has been reserved in advance, NFESC will be passing approved abstracts to other Federal Government activities to seek demonstration sites and funding. (4) Some Federal Government activities may employ civilian contractors to determine the applicability of an offered technology to specific environmental projects. Any information which may be sensitive to review by such personnel should not be submitted in the form. (5) NAVFAC Contracts Office will reply to all offerors once the Navy's Technical Evaluation Board (TEB) has reviewed all forms submitted for this cutoff date. Individual TEB evaluation results will be forwarded to all offerors and will state whether or not the Government is interested in contracting for a field application project if funding is available. (6) Abstracts deemed "acceptable" under BAA N47408-96-R-6342 or N47408-98-R-3940 should not be resubmitted under this BAA unless they have "expired" as defined above. (7) New submission of abstracts under BAA N47408-96-R-6342 or N47408-98-R-3940 will not be accepted for evaluation.
