BASE CONTRACT PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Contract Title: Life Cycle Logistics Support and Chemical Demilitarization Training Facility Operation and Maintenance, May 2026 to May 2031

1.0 SCOPE: This umbrella statement of work orders establishes the basic indefinite delivery-indefinite quantity contract to provide logistics support, facility operations services, and technical training in support of the missions of the Recovered Chemical Materiel Directorate during the period May 2026 to May 2031, with a possible five year extension. Individual task orders shall be utilized to order contractor support on a yearly basis. Additional task orders may be awarded for individually specified projects other than the annual cost baseline.

1.1 Background: The US Army Chemical Materials Activity Recovered Chemical Materiel Directorate provides centralized management and direction to the Department of Defense for the assessment and disposal of recovered chemical warfare materiel; and other chemical disposal missions; in a safe, environmentally sound and cost-effective manner. Assessment is the first technical step in responding to recovered chemical warfare materiel, by determining what is inside the suspect chemical item without opening it, through the use of non-invasive technologies. For suspect glassware chemical agent training materials, such as Chemical Agent Identification Sets, a Raman Spectrometer utilizes a laser to identify and characterize the presence of chemical agent. For munitions and storage containers, the Portable Isotopic Neutron Spectroscopy System (PINS) and Digital Radiography and Computed Tomography System, use gamma rays and X-rays to identify and characterize the presence of chemical agent, liquid fills, and energetic components; allowing for proper handling and treatment. These instruments are part of the Mobile Munitions Assessment System, which can transmit collected field data back to headquarters for analysis. Recovered chemical munitions are often overpacked in Multiple Round Containers prior to the PINS and x-ray analysis, and are stored in an Interim Holding Facility pending disposal. The Explosive Destruction System is currently the primary technology utilized to dispose of recovered chemical munitions, and large quantities of Chemical Agent Identification Sets. Other destruction systems may also be used to destroy recovered chemical warfare materiel. The Single Chemical Agent Identification Set Access and Neutralization System is utilized to dispose of small quantities of recovered Chemical Agent Identification Sets. The recovered chemical materiel assessment and disposal functions are enduring DOD / Army mission areas which are projected to last many decades into the future. A variety of equipment assets, and operational and maintenance skills have been accumulated by the U.S. Army and its performers in support of accomplishing these mission areas to date. These national assets require life cycle logistics support provided through the combination of in-house, other government agency, and contractor skill sets and resources to sustain them into the future. In addition, the Recovered Chemical Materiel Directorate has support facilities associated with training, maintenance, and storage of this equipment.

The storage and disposal of chemical weapons and recovered chemical weapons involves government organizations besides the Recovered Chemical Materiel Directorate. These organizations may provide their requirements and apply their funding to this contract for contractor support of their mission areas, as described in task orders under this umbrella performance work statement.

2.1 RCMD Equipment Descriptions: The paragraphs contained in this section provide an overview of the variety and complexity of equipment assets under the control of Recovered Chemical Materiel Directorate. The amount of involvement and support requirements the contractor shall provide to the following Recovered Chemical Materiel Directorate equipment systems is defined in sections 3.2 and 3.3.

2.1.1 Portable Isotopic Neutron Spectroscopy Description: The Portable Isotopic Neutron Spectroscopy (PINS) system is utilized to identify chemical elements present in the fill material within closed munitions by analyzing gamma ray emissions. The PINS system is comprised of three primary parts: 1) A neutron source (radioactive source) is placed near the munition or storage container being analyzed, so that neutrons penetrate the shell and interact with its fill contents; 2) a gamma ray detector monitors the energies and intensities of gamma rays released by neutron interactions; 3) a multichannel analyzer supplies power and receives electrical impulses from the gamma ray detector. The voltage of each pulse is proportional to the gamma ray energy. These pulses are amplified and sorted according to voltage into many channels. While sorting, information converts from continuous data to specific digital data, which appears on a computer screen as an energy spectrum. Characteristic gamma ray peaks in the energy spectrum determine the presence and relative concentration of a specific chemical element. The gamma ray peaks can determine the presence and relative concentration of a specific chemical element. Analyzing the characteristic gamma ray peaks potentially allows for the identification of chemical compounds. Identifying specific chemicals inside closed containers enhances safety and expedites disposal of recovered chemical warfare materiel. PINS research and development efforts are underway to establish methods of reducing munition assessment scan times below 3000 seconds, and improving fill identification accuracy and capability. These investigations include: alternate neutron sources and detectors, and revised software algorithms.

2.1.2 Digital Radiography and Computed Tomography System Description: The field-portable Digital Radiography and Computed Tomography (DRCT) system is used to X-ray unidentified recovered chemical warfare materiel. The system uses an X-ray to vertically scan a suspect chemical munition on a rotating platform to produce a digital view of the munition’s interior to determine if the munition contains a liquid fill and if it is fused. Using a computer, the system allows an operator to remotely control all scanning and data collection operations. The DRCT can produce: 1) a conventional digital X-ray image of a munition or overpack up to 12 inches in diameter and 44 inches long in approximately three minutes; 2) a tomographic (two-dimensional X-ray) image of a portion of a munition at any height in approximately one minute; 3) a full 3-D image (360-degrees) in approximately 10 minutes. Operators use the information collected to make decisions regarding the safe handling and storage of recovered munitions and to assist in content identification. While using the DRCT system, an operator can view the image and make adjustments to improve the image quality. In addition, the operator can make near real-time decisions based on the critical information the system provides. In addition to the DRCT equipment fielded with MMAS vehicles, larger capacity systems exist for imaging ton containers and other bulk items, and are stored at PBA, AR and INL, ID. An X-ray enclosure has been added to the high bay area of building E-4516 to reduce the safety stand-off distance during operator training. DRCT research and development efforts are underway to establish methods of accommodating larger objects, reducing munition assessment process cycle times and improving imaging clarity. These investigations include exploring the use of alternate x-ray generators and detectors, and improving the computed tomography software.

2.1.3 Raman Spectrometer Description: A Raman Spectrometer is used to non-intrusively identify and evaluate the contents contained in Chemical Agent Identification Sets (CAIS). Soldiers once used CAIS to train in the safe handling, identification and decontamination of chemical warfare agents. The training sets consist of small quantities of chemical agents or industrial chemicals in glass ampoules, vials, or bottles. The Raman Spectrometer system consists of: 1) a portable computer for operating the system and analyzing collected data; 2) a Raman Spectrometer / laser unit; 3) a fiber-optic probe attached to a sample holder that holds the material to be analyzed. The fiber-optic probe is placed against the glass wall of the CAIS item, directing a laser light. As the light from the laser passes through the glass wall, it excites the molecules of the substance inside the container. Operators send the signatures into the spectrometer and analyze them using the computer’s database. Once identified, the contents’ classification displays on the computer monitor. Operators then look for the distinctive chemical signatures of the chemical agents that make up the contents of CAIS. The system can identify solids and liquids without complicated and time-consuming sample preparation. Other than normal calibration, it is maintenance-free and can operate on many power sources, including a car battery. Setup takes 20 to 30 minutes with analysis of a suspect item complete in approximately 20 seconds.

2.1.4 Mobile Munitions Assessment System Description: The Mobile Munitions Assessment System (MMAS) is a truck based data collection platform containing the non-intrusive PINS, DRCT, and Raman Spectrometer systems, various support equipment consisting of carts, cables, liquid nitrogen storage containers, communication equipment, and a weather station. The MMAS serves as a command center during assessment operations; where MMAS operators use cameras to monitor activity around the site, and the weather monitoring system to constantly monitor weather conditions. Powered by a portable generator, the MMAS can be on site for extended periods of time. The MMAS is used to assess recovered items with unknown fills. The MMAS uses non-intrusive assessment equipment to rapidly collect detailed information on recovered items and provide that information to headquarters. The MMAS can travel to all 50 states and be transported by military aircraft. Once on site, the system can be operational within 25 minutes. The overall length of the truck/van body for the three MMAS units is approximately 26 ft 5 in; the width is 8 ft; and the height is 12 ft 5 in. The inside height of the van body is 6 ft 8 in. The gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the truck chassis is 19,500 lb; the actual vehicle weight is approximately 18,500 lb. The MMAS vehicle contains the following major components and systems: MMAS mobile platform, heating and air conditioning system, electrical power supply and distribution system, miniPINS system, liquid Nitrogen (LN2) transport capabilities, radiography systems, Raman spectroscopy system, data acquisition and handling system, audio / video equipment, communications equipment, and support equipment.

2.1.5 Multiple Round Containers Description: Upon discovery of suspect Recovered Chemical Warfare Materiel (RCWM), the item is placed into a Multiple Round Container (MRC) for assessment and safe storage pending final disposition. MRCs are a family of seven differently sized over-pack containers designed to allow the safe storage and transport of various sizes of RCWM by aiding in the protection of their contents during rough handling, and containing potential chemical agent leaks during accidents. MRCs are stainless steel tubes that have a flange welded on one end, and a bolted flange on the other, and incorporates an O-ring seal for liquid and vapor containment. MRCs were specifically designed, tested and fielded for the transport of chemical warfare materiel. MRCs exceed international packaging requirements, and have a Department of Defense certificate of equivalency for the storage and transportation of RCWM in the public domain.

2.1.6 Interim Holding Facilities Description: Interim Holding Facilities (IHFs) are portable hazardous materials storage buildings that are about 8’ wide by 16’ long by 9’4” high, and weigh approximately 15,000 pounds. IHFs can be transported on highways without the need for special permits. The interior is a single room sheeted in stainless steel that has a grating above a solid floor that is sloped to a sump, has a dry chemical fire suppression system, and an explosion proof electrical system. Design characteristics require structural strength to survive winds that exceed 110 mph, 40 pounds per square foot snow loading, and blast integrity that exceeds 100 pounds per square foot blast or explosion resistance both on the inside and outside of roof, walls, and floor. The IHFs are rated for Seismic Condition Zone 4. Each IHF has one set of double doors in the center of one of the long walls and are equipped with two hooded high-security locking hasps to accommodate padlocks. Each IHF is equipped with an explosion proof air conditioning unit mounted on one end of the building, louvered vents on each end of the building, external lighting above all four side walls, and two Swagelok® air monitoring ports near the entry door. When deployed, IHFs are installed on a pad and are anchored and grounded in accordance with local building codes. Perimeter fencing and a clear area of at least 50 feet (15 meters) wide is maintained around the IHF for added security.

2.1.7 Single CAIS Access and Neutralization System Description: The Single CAIS Access and Neutralization System (SCANS) is a hand-held chemical treatment container used to access and treat Chemical Agent Identification Set (CAIS) bottles containing the chemical agent mustard or lewisite. CAIS include glass ampoules, vials, and bottles, which contain 4 ounces or less of chemical agents (either concentrated or dilute) or industrial chemicals. The Army manufactured and distributed CAIS items to military installations around the country between 1928 and 1969 to train Soldiers in the safe identification, handling and decontamination of chemical agents. Many CAIS items were buried, which was an acceptable practice until the 1970s. The Army expects to continue recovering CAIS items through ongoing remediation and construction activities. CAIS items containing diluted agent or industrial chemicals in glass ampoules and vials are packaged and processed as hazardous waste.

2.1.8 Explosive Destruction System Description: The trailer or skid mounted Explosive Destruction System (EDS) is used to provide on-site treatment of chemical warfare materiel in a safe, environmentally sound manner to support both planned and quick-response operations. The EDS uses cutting charges to explosively access chemical munitions, eliminating their explosive capacity before the chemical agent is neutralized. The main component is a sealed stainless steel vessel that contains all the blast, vapor, and fragments during RCWM processing. Treatment completion is confirmed by sampling residual liquid and air from the vessel prior to opening the EDS vessel door. CMA-RCMD maintains a total of six EDS systems, two phase 1 units, two phase 2 units, and two higher capacity phase 2 EDS units. All sizes are approved to handle bomblets, 75 mm projectiles, 4.2 inch mortars and Livens projectiles. The EDS phase 2 units can also handle 155 mm and 8 inch projectiles. The EDS phase 1 units can treat up to three rounds at a time, while the EDS phase 2 units can process up to six rounds at once. The EDS also includes various support equipment components consisting of a utility support trailer, diesel generator, air compressor, fire set, and various consumables. EDS operations require an environmental enclosure, ventilation and filtration system, air monitoring and laboratory capabilities, and a command post. The EDS has been proven to treat blister, nerve, and blood agents; and chloropicrin and phosgene.

EDS research and development efforts are underway to establish methods of reducing munition treatment process cycle times and disposal campaign costs. These investigations include: alternate reagents, increased agent to reagent ratios, lower reaction temperature, establishing an integral liquid analysis system, establishing an automated vapor monitoring system, and potential use of electromagnetic shape charges.

2.1.9 Environmental Enclosure (EE) Description: An environmental enclosure provides weather protection and interior environmental control for equipment operations and worker safety during EDS operations. The environmental enclosure will also provide secondary vapor containment for the EDS operation should an unexpected release of agent occur during unpacking or loading of the munition. An air filtration system is attached to the environmental enclosure that consists of prefilters, high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters, and carbon filters along with monitoring ports, fan, and ductwork. A smoke test is conducted on the environmental enclosure to certify the filter unit and to check airflow velocity to ensure that the environmental enclosure is able to maintain negative pressure inside the structure relative to the outside air. The size of the carbon filter units are more than adequate to absorb any agent that could be released from a leaking munition. RCMD utilizes one type of environmental enclosure to house the EDS; the General Purpose Operations Shelter (GPOS). The GPOS is a tent-like all-weather mobile shelter (with various dimensions) consisting of a series of arched, rigid ribs and tent fabric covering the arch and ends. The GPOS is a reusable environmental enclosure structure that is transported to operating sites along with the EDS and support equipment. CMA-RCMD currently owns multiple GPOS units.

2.1.10 Mobile Command Post Description: Two mobile command posts (MCPs) are configured to serve as the operational headquarters during EDS site operations. Video feed from cameras, audio feed from operational personnel, and weather station information can be monitored from within the MCP. MCP 2 is a 2007 International Harvester model 4300 truck and MCP3 is a mobile office trailer that support field operations as required.
