A -- CHEMICAL AGENT WATER MONITOR DUE 050595 POC Contact Point, Amos Coleman, (703)704-3360 Sources are sought by the US Army Tank-Automotive Command's Mobility Technology Center-Belvoir for a small size, portable, commercially available Chemical Agent Water Monitor (CAWM). The intended use of this system is to detect and identify various types of chemical agent contaminants in potential sources of treated and untreated drinking water. The system should be sensitive and versatile enough to detect/identify and measure the amounts of cyanides, lewisite, mustard, nerve agents, and T-2 toxins in drinking water. The concentrations of contaminants, for long and short term consumption, are specified in the Tri- -service Standards for water quality and in the revised Army Technical Bulletin No. MED 577 Occupational and Environmental Health: SANITARY CONTROL AND SURVEILLANCE OF FIELD WATER SUPPLIES. Copies of the standards will be provided on request. The system should be sufficiently rugged to operate in forward areas of the battlefields. It must be capable of stand alone operation and to provide test results on site. It also should be compact, lightweight, easy-to-use, and capable of meeting the military requirements for transportability, NBC survivability, human factors, and operability in all climate categories. The initial information can be provided in the format of a Technical Data Sheet, Technical Bulletin or Performance Data Sheet and should include name, model number, and operating specifications. This data will be used to evaluate the potential of the system to meet military reqirements. The Government shall not incur any cost for this information. No contract is anticipated at this time, however, a limited number of units could be purchased by the Government for test and evaluation. For further information or clarification contact Amos Coleman, 703-704-3351. Fax 703-704-3360.
