This evaluation is needed to support an on going task for developing a non-oily wastewater shipboard membrane treatment system. The contractor will foul and clean four government furnished filter modules during the developmental phase of the evaluation. The same method will be validated by cleaning an additional four government furnished filter modules that were fouled by Carderock Division Naval Surface Warfare Center. A simulated foulant, such as synthetic graywater, will be used to conduct the developmental phase experiments, which are required to optimize the cleaning process. Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements under the authority of FAR 6.302.1. Anticipated award is on or about 7/1/00.
