- Description
- This is a SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS. No proposals are being requested or accepted with this synopsis. The purpose of this sources sought synopsis is to determine the availability of qualified Contractors. The primary North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code applicable to this requirement is 541712, Research Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Biotechnology). The Small Business Size Standard is 500 Employees. The Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) is seeking businesses to provide services to further the understanding of Perchlorate Destruction and Potable Water Production Using Membrane Biofilm Reduction and Membrane Filtration. Aligned with this purpose, the main objective of this project is to demonstrate and validate that a membrane biofilm reactor (MBfR) coupled with downstream ultrafiltration (UF) is capable of destroying nitrate and perchlorate in extracted groundwater as well as producing water that is potable. Specific technical objectives include demonstrating that (1) nitrate and perchlorate concentrations consistently can be reduced to analytical method reporting limits at a flow rate of 25 gallons per minute; (2) biofilm growth and chemical scaling of the MBfR and UF fibers is controllable, stable, and does not require unusual maintenance requirements; (3) produced water meets California Department of Health Services and U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act chemistry requirements for potable water and other relevant requirements such as maximum tolerable dissolved organic carbon; (4) produced water does not contain sulfide or objectionable taste/odor; and (5) system is responsive to possible operational upsets, normal maintenance procedures, and normal temporal variations in water quality. The results to date demonstrate that primary variables that were determined to affect MBfR performance were feed flow rate and the MBfR module recirculation rate, and that drinking water parameters were determined to be within Safe Drinking Water Act limits. It has been determined that a continuation of the study is needed to further develop the technique at a different demonstration site. This market survey/sources sought is for information and planning purposes only, and does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP). It is not to be construed as a commitment by the U.S. Government. No award will be made as a result of this market survey/sources sought. All information is to be submitted at no cost or obligation to the Government. The Government reserves the right to reject, in whole or in part, any private sector input as a result of this market survey. The Government is not obligated to notify respondents of the results of this survey. Interested Offerors shall respond to this Sources Sought Synopsis no later than 1:00pm 30 June 2010. Responses can be submitted to US Army Corps of Engineers, Humphreys Engineering Center Support Activity, 7701 Telegraph Road, Alexandria, VA 22315 or e-mail to Lisa.L.Kurtz@usace.army.mil
