Description

The Naval Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division (NAVEODTECHDIV) is seeking Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Desktop and Portal Explosive Detection Equipment (EDE) capable of finding the explosives in terrorist Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) that pose hazards to military operations in mail, parcels, cargo, vehicles, and on personnel. This market survey solicits vendors' information that fully explains their existing technology features, capabilities, and performance. In the future, subject to availability of funds, NAVEODTECHDIV may select EDE systems for testing and evaluation to meet Department of Defense Antiterrorism / Force Protection and Physical Security requirements. This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP). There is no commitment on the part of the U. S. Navy to award a contract as a result of this request for information. Results of testing and evaluation will be collected and provided to DoD users to determine the capabilities of vendors' systems in meeting DoD requirements. Technologies of IED detection that protect the force and prevent terrorist bombings against military personnel, equipment and military installations by finding them at points of entry are sought. These technologies include, but are not limited to, trace (particle or vapor) detectors. Ideally, these technologies will allow antiterrorist/force protection/physical security personnel to find IEDs effectively and reliably, while inspecting mail, parcels, cargo, vehicles, and personnel (to include personal articles carried by personnel) for IEDs at military installations' entry points without slowing throughput. Request that any party interested provide: a) a Technical Description of five or fewer pages and b) two Summary Charts for each model of their EDE. Format instructions for the technical description and summary charts may be obtained via e-mail request (preferred) to Jeffrey Humbert at humbert@eodpoe2.navsea.navy.mil or phone at (301) 744-6883. Each submission shall be transmitted electronically and in hard copy format to: Naval Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division, 2008 Stump Neck Road, Attn: Jeffrey Humbert, Code 052, Indian Head, MD 20640-5070 no later than 31 October 01.
