RFI FOR JOINT PROJECT MANAGER FOR CHEMICAL, BIOLOGICAL, RADIOLOGICAL AND NUCLEAR PROTECTION (JPM CBRN P) HAZARD MITIGATION

This is a request for information (RFI) only for decontaminant technologies which are capable of meeting the basic requirements described below. Decontaminant technologies can be Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) or developmental items. This is not a Request for Quotation (RFQ), Request for Proposal (RFP) or an Invitation for Bid (IFB).  It is a market research tool being used to determine the availability and adequacy of potential sources for planning purposes only.  Responses to this notice are not considered as offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. The Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of responses nor otherwise pay for the preparation of any information presented or the use of any such information. 

Requested Information

The Product Lead for Hazard Mitigation under the Joint Project Manager Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Protection (JPM CBRN P) is conducting a market survey to identify decontaminant technologies that provide a tactical and operational decontaminant capable of reducing adverse health-effects by removing gross contamination before surface permeation and decreasing risk of cross contamination to allow warfighters to continue their mission for an extended period of time. The Product Lead is also interested in any contamination mitigation technologies that can be used as pre-treatments prior to more intensive decontaminant processes. Decontaminant solutions may be dry/solid-phase, aqueous foam/liquid, nanomaterials, advanced thermal or vacuum methods, etc. and are not limited to current user concept of operations. The decontaminant should achieve efficacy levels against chemical and biological (CB) and select non-traditional agents (NTA) contamination that will support unprotected post-decontamination exposure with negligible severity effects.   

The Product Lead for Hazard Mitigation is interested in the following data for the proposed decontaminant technology:

• Chemical contamination efficacy against Nerve-V, Nerve-G and Blister-H, and A-series agents
• Biological contamination efficacy against virulent anthrax strain, bacteria and virus (validated simulants)
• Environmental, Safety and Occupational Health Assessment/Analysis
• Health Hazard Assessment
• Material Compatibility and Equipment Degradation Testing
• Shelf Life Scoping (e.g. degradation pathways)
• Pot Life

If a vendor has a product that meets the criteria, they shall submit a short summary (no more than 15 pages) briefly describing their products’ capabilities,

The summary will need to include the following general information about the respondent:

• Company name and address
• Point of Contact (POC) with phone number
• Product Name
• Cost per gallon of ready to use decontaminant (bulk chemicals and in final packaging to meet program requirements)

Specific information requested on each of the products or technologies includes:

• Description of decontamination technology and method, including estimated technology readiness level and/or manufacturing readiness levels
• Mixing requirements (e.g. equipment needed, time)
• Recommended application method
• Total decontamination method cycle/dwell time(s) (i.e. how long does the decontaminant need to stay on the surface to achieve stated efficacy levels? Does it need to be rinsed?)
• Efficacy data on the decontamination (removal or neutralization) of chemical hazards, biological hazards, and/or simulants; include test methodology used (i.e. kinetics testing, coupon testing, simulant, agent, etc.)
• Pot Life
• Safety Data Sheets (if applicable)
• Storage/shipping configuration
• User manual/instructions
• Description of required consumables, if applicable (e.g. water)
• Operating temperatures and/or environmental restrictions
• Identify if the technology is considered COTS, or currently being used or developed by commercial industry and/or Government, provide names and/or examples of users
• Any data rights assertions/anticipated assertions

Point of Contact (POC)
