SERVICES ENTITLED "BIOLOGICAL DECONTAMINATION DEVICE" The U.S. Army Chemical and Biological Defense Command (CBDCOM) and the Edgewood Research Development and Engineering Center (ERDEC) anticipate negotiations with OptiMetrics, Inc., Ann Arbor, Michigan, on a non-competitive basis to add work to Contract #DAAM01-96-C-0009. The contract modification is to produce a preliminary design for installation of a high intensity broad-banded pulsed-light technology system on a naval ship for the purpose of decontaminating the air circulated through the ship. This effort will include: (a) study of the ventilation and electrical systems of a chosen platform to establish design requirements; (b) generation of a requirements document; (c) a materials study to identify materials and coatings applicable for use in the reflective duct surrounding the pulsed light that will be effective in a naval environment; (d) a preliminary design of the power system for the ship installation; (e) a preliminary design of the installation of the pulsed-light device(s) and reflective material within the ship's ventilation system; (f) a final report documenting the design effort. If any responsible source other than OptiMetrics can fulfill the above requirements using new decontamination technologies that have the potential to equal or exceed the performance of the pulsed-light technology, and wishes to submit a proposal, it will be evaluated.
