- Description
- Westinghouse Savannah River Company (WSRC), managing contractor of the Savannah River Site near Aiken, South Carolina, for the Department of Energy, is soliciting expressions of interest from companies wishing to obtain license rights to market and distribute the following technology to commercial customers. License rights may be granted on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use. WSRC also may be available to assist in further research and development of the technology under a cooperative research and development agreement and/or may provide technical assistance during commercialization of the technology under a license agreement. The technology is the Directed Spray Mast, a remotely operated tank cleaning device for use in limited areas. This technology was originally conceived to eliminate the inherent dangers involved with sending workers into storage or process tanks during cleaning operations. The directed spray mast was designed to provide more precise cleaning of problem buildup areas within a tank versus the more global cleaning approach of existing technologies. This device should be useful for cleaning applications such as, slurry tanks for food processing, fermentation tanks for beverage manufacturing, paint and textile processing vessels, batch process tanks for chemical manufacturing, and hazardous waste storage tank uses. Any company interested in licensing this technology must respond with a letter of interest (may be submitted by email) no later than September 19, 2003, summarizing the company?s business and technical expertise and motivation for pursuing this opportunity. Qualified companies will be provided with further information on the technology. Such information may require an executed nondisclosure agreement. Respondents wishing to enter into negotiations for a license will be required to submit a business plan prior to licensee selection and negotiations. Company qualifications should include, but not be limited to, compatible product lines, sufficient manufacturing capacity, sound product develop plan, reasonable schedule for product launch, established distribution networks, evidence of sufficient financial resources for product development and launch. Questions and expressions of interest may be addressed to the Point of Contact identified in this Notice: Dale K. Haas, telephone (803) 725-4185; fax: (803) 725-4988; email: dale.haas@srs.gov; or address: Westinghouse Savannah River Company, Building 773-41A, Room #238, Aiken, SC 29808. This is not a procurement; it is a request for parties interested in licensing opportunities only.
