Description

AC-Screening System to Detect Chemical and Biological Agents Inside Sealed Containers Closing date remains unchanged. Questions & Answers in respect to Commerce Business Daily Submission No. 50X978 dated 18 September 2001 and subsequent modifications dated 12 October 2001 and 25 October 2001 respectivelyhttp: Q1. Is there any current money for this project? A1. Yes, there is current money in-house to fund the first stage of this project. We feel this money is sufficient to start-up efforts to address the stated problems. Q2. What is the likelihood that we could get enough of this money to make the proposal writing effort a good use of our time?" A2. The BAA is a request for white papers only. From the paragraph on White Paper Submittal in the BAA: "White papers may propose novel sensor technologies, and innovative components or subsystems, which hold the potential of greatly improving the performance, or feasibility, of screening systems to identify BWA/CWA inside sealed containers." Also, from the second paragraph, "It is anticipated that the Government will request a comprehensive technical and cost proposal for the most promising approach/concept identified by one or more white papers." The white papers provide the vehicle for further discussions with companies that have identified promising technical approaches and concepts. A request to a company for a cost proposal will follow the white paper submittal and any subsequent discussions. It will be up to the individual company to decide whether it is in their best interest to submit the cost proposal. Please note that without a white paper there is no basis for future discussions related to this procurement. The submittal of white papers is highly encouraged.
