Background/Statement of Need/Objective: Background. Environmental Chemical Corporation (ECC) is the prime contractor for Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Pacific Division, and is contracted to perform ordnance removal at the former NAF Adak, Alaska. ECC is preparing to issue multiple subcontracts for the purpose of validating UXO detection systems for potential use at the site. Adak is a former Navy facility that is scheduled for transition to non-DoD agencies under the Base Realignment and Closure Act (BRAC). Statement of Need.

It is the intent of this acquisition to validate traditional and innovative approaches to the detection of UXO/OE at Adak. Key Elements of Proposed Acquisition: Multiple subcontracts, not expected to exceed four, will be issued. The subcontracts will allow for payment of out-of-pocket expenses related to the testing and validation of the proposed system for its intended purpose; it is anticipated that potential subcontractors will have to share part of the expenses for the test.
