E-MAIL: click here to contact the Contract Specialist, zaslowb@mcsc.usmc.mil. Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM) is now providing further information regarding the previously announced Joint Service Fixed Site Decontamination program (JSFXD). Additionally, MARCORSYSCOM is now seeking contractor participation for the JSFXD industry day to be held May 24, 2000, concurrent with the Decon 2000 conference in Salt Lake City, UT. During Industry day, program personnel will discuss the Draft Program Objectives listed below, with particular emphasis on Block I. Information on the conference itself can be found at http://www.jsmg.apgea.army.mil/Decon2000.pdf. For those that cannot attend, an information packet will be available on the MARCORSYSCOM website listed below. In addition, draft documents will be posted at various times at that same address. It is the intent of MARCORSYSCOM to award single or multiple Indefinite Quantity/Indefinite Delivery (IDIQ) contracts under Block I. The MARCORSYSCOM JSFXD web address is http://www.marcorsyscom.usmc.mil/mcscctq/jsfxd.htm DRAFT PROGRAM OBJECTIVES The objective of the JSFXD program is to provide a reliable, safe, effective, and environmentally friendly decontamination capability to the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps. Potential threat materials include nuclear, biological and chemical agents, as well as toxic industrial materials (TIMS). JSFXD system(s) shall decontaminate these threat materials from personnel, equipment, and facilities located on fixed sites, ports of entry, airfields, logistics facilities, and key command and control centers. To achieve this objective, the program has been subdivided into three blocks with separate competitive contracting efforts anticipated for each block. BLOCK I -- The objective of Block I is to identify and field a family of Commercial Off The Shelf and/or Non-Developmental decontaminants by FY02. This family of decontaminants will initially be used with existing fielded applicators or, if necessary, with off the shelf integral applicators. JSFXD intends to issue a Draft Request for Proposal (RFP), which will provide specific performance requirements, evaluation criteria for award, and other pertinent information. Comments from industry will be solicited. Draft technical objectives for Block I decontaminants are listed below. BLOCK II -- The objective of Block II is to identify and field the family of applicators and containment systems needed to apply, capture, store and if possible recycle any hazardous waste. Applicators should be capable of dispensing the entire family of decontaminants regardless of form (e.g. non-aqueous, aqueous, non-liquid). BLOCK III -- The focus of Block III is to identify and field a personnel skin decontamination capability for use on casualties -- with and without open wounds. This decontaminant will require Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval. DRAFT TECHNICAL OBJECTIVES FOR BLOCK I DECONTAMINANTS *Reduce within 15 minutes the concentration or neutralize the effects of chemical and/or biological warfare agents and other TIMs present on resources to a safe level (i.e., below miosis or incapacitation level) for return to unrestricted operation worldwide; *Be suitable for use on any surface, and have the ability to remove or neutralize toxic substances absorbed into the surface of the material; *Not have adverse effect on the performance of the systems being decontaminated; * Not produce any residue or vapors, which are toxic, corrosive, or non-disposable during decontamination operations; *Be environmentally friendly; *Be provided in non-aqueous, aqueous or non-liquid forms; and *Be capable of being applied with existing military systems or if necessary, provide COTS integral applicators.
