Defense Threat Reduction Agency, 45045 Aviation Drive, Dulles, Virginia 20166 SOURCES SOUGHT FOR SS-24 SOLID PROELLLANT DISPOSITION, POC David Staudt, Contract Negotiator, (703) 810-4615 or Edward L. Archer, Contracting Officer, (703) 326-8506. The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) will not issue a solicitation as a result of this synopsis. DTRA is seeking capability statements/qualification packages from organizations possessing the capability to undertake the removal of solid propellant from approximately 54 SS-24 ICBMs in Ukraine and convert the removed propellant into commercial explosives (emulsion and water gel) suitable for use in the Ukrainian mining industry. The 54 missiles will already be disassembled into Loaded Motor Cases (LMCs) ready for removal processing and stored at the Pavlograd Chemical Plant, where it is anticipated that all work will be conducted. Interested parties are requested to provide by 15 June 1999: (1) details of available project managers and management capable of performing this work, (2) a description of the technical approach proposed to complete this work. The technical approach for the propellant removal process must be a demonstrated technology capable of safely recovering sensitive, aged, 1.1 class material from all three stages of the SS-24 missile. The propellant recycling process must be a demonstrated technology capable of converting all of the residues from the removal process into commercial mining explosive products with similar handling, storage, and use characteristics to products currently in use in Ukraine; (3) an estimated cost and time to design, fabricate, and install the equipment required to accomplish this work; (4) a description of the company, its resources, and core business areas; (5) a description of prior work within the last five years of a similar nature; (6) and the technology must be licensable and exportable. Two Ukrainian companies will be required partners in this effort; they include the Pavlograd Chemical Plant and Yuzhruda. Questions and capabilities should be directed to Mr. Staudt at (703) 810-4615, Fax (703) 810-4691, or E-mail david.staudt@dtra.mil. Posted 05/08/99 (W-SN329284). (0128)
