68 -- Decontamination Systems and Technology

DESCRIPTION: The Joint Platform Interior Decontamination (JPID) Systems Manager held an Industry Day in July 2005, in order to examine all current decontaminants and applicators to determine what interim solutions may exist for the ability to decontaminate the interiors of vehicles, ships, fixed site facilities, mobile maintenance facilities and aircraft. The industry day was also designed to see if the capability exists to decontaminate sensitive equipment contained within those assets, which have been exposed to Chemical, Biological, radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) warfare agents/contamination and/or Toxic Industrial Materials (TIMs)/Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs) and new threat agents (NTAs). This requirement is associated with Joint Service and multinational capabilities for detecting, identifying and eliminating CBRN hazards. JPID will decontaminate sensitive equipment items installed in platform interiors without requiring removal of the equipment. We would like to thank all of the company representatives for your participation in the industry day events held at Brooks City-Base last July and also inform you that as the program continues to develop, all future requests for information/proposals will be posted to FEDBIZOPS.
