THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION. THE MARINE CORPS DOES NOT INTEND TO AWARD A CONTRACT ON THE BASIS OF THIS NOTICE OR OTHERWISE PAY FOR THE INFORMATION REQUESTED. The Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM) is currently defining its requirements for the General Purpose Filter: an improved, multi-contaminant, NATO standard thread, chemical biological protective mask filter. MARCORSYSCOM is interested in receiving information from companies which currently have or are able to develop a product that meets the following requirements. The General Purpose Filter is intended for use with existing Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) blowers that have been adapted for use with M40 series field protective masks. The General Purpose Filter should have the performance of the C2A1 canister plus the ability to protect against chlorine and ammonia for six hours during exposure to maximum concentrations established by regulatory standards. The filters should be designed so that the service life of the PAPR blower motor is not significantly reduced. The General Purpose Filter must have undergone testing or be made available for testing by an independent organization. THE PURPOSE OF THIS SYNOPSIS IS TO IDENTIFY POTENTIAL SOURCES. THERE IS NO SOLICITATION DOCUMENT AT THIS TIME. All parties which believe they have a General Purpose Filter product currently available or are able to submit a proposal which meets the needs of MARCORSYSCOM are requested to provide a description of their product and capabilities to the address provided above. All responses must be in writing and must be submitted for consideration no later than 25 Jan 99. FAX number is (703) 784-5826. Email responses are encouraged, if possible. No telephonic responses will be accepted. ALL COMMON CARRIER PACKAGES (FEDEX, UPS) MUST BE SENT TO THE FOLLOWING ADDRESS: MARCORSYSCOM (CODE CTQ), Attn: Katie Kley, 3041A McCawly Ave, Quantico, VA 22134-5010. Posted 12/09/98 (W-SN278657).
