- Description
- The Army Contracting Command -Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG) Contracting Center, Natick Contracting Division, Natick, MA, in support of the Joint Program Manager for Protection (JPM P) and the Decontamination Family of Systems (DFoS) Program, hereby issues a Draft Request for Proposal (RFP) in advance of a Pre-solicitation Conference/Industry Day for the Contamination Indication/Decontamination Assurance System (CIDAS). Details for the Pre-solicitation Conference/Industry Day, if conducted, will be forthcoming. This is a draft RFP made available for comment prior to the Pre-solicitation Conference/Industry Day. This is not a solicitation and no proposals are requested at this time. The goal of CIDAS is to provide the warfighter a capability that not only detects trace levels of chemical warfare agents on surfaces before and/or after a decontamination operation, but also visually indicates the exact location of that contamination and provides significant utility during Detailed Equipment Decontamination (DED) operations. This technology will afford Warfighters the ability to accurately map the area of disseminated contamination on equipment and quickly determine if a given area is (or is not) contaminated. This technology has unique benefits, such as isolating "hot spots" from "clean spots" on surfaces and visibly indicating whether standard decontamination procedures performed were successful (i.e., decontamination assurance). Given the capability to visibly indicate contaminant location on a surface, Detailed Equipment Decontamination (DED) personnel will be able to focus decontamination efforts on the localized threat, therefore dramatically reducing manpower, water requirements, decontaminant requirements and exposure hazard to Warfighters performing DED while increasing decontamination efficiency. The CIDAS must be compatible with a wide range of materiel and facilities to avoid degrading readiness and capabilities due to damage from the application of indicant. The draft RFP and associated attachments can be accessed from the solicitation link on this page. This announcement is not a request for proposals and in no way commits the Government to award a contract. No solicitation exists at this time. The announcement number W911QY-13-R-0001 will be the controlling document and the Government is in no way liable to pay for or reimburse companies or entities that respond in any way to this Draft RFP. Any information concerning a Pre-solicitation conference/Industry Day, if conducted, will be posted to the Federal Business Opportunities website at https://www.fbo.gov under announcement number W911QY-13-R-0001. Questions regarding this Draft RFP will only be accepted in writing via e-mail to jean.t.greenwood.civ@mail.mil with a courtesy to peter.j.wallace6.civ@mail.mil.
