STATEMENT OF REQUIREMENTS

F2XTB99212AW03

1. PURPOSE: The Government has a requirement for a Laser Ablation System

Type CL20 Backpack Unit. The proposed ablation unit will benefit all 908th

Fabrication Flight sections to include Aircraft Metals Technology, Aircraft

Structural Maintenance and Nondestructive Inspection (NDI). The laser corrosion and paint removal system will be used for surface prep for NDI testing, removal of rust for Aircraft Metals Technology weld preparations IAW

00-25-252, and safely removes paint prior to refinishing aircraft components and support equipment. The Contractor shall deliver the laser ablation system backpack unit to: 1 SOC Drive, Building 1456, Maxwell AFB, AL 36112.

2. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Laser Ablation System CL20 Backpack Unit will increase aircraft component rust and paint removal processes, while reducing major wear and tear on the Plastic Media Blast Room. The system will also reduce hazardous waste output by 90%. Especially when compared to the current methods such as

PMB blast and/or chemically stripping, which in turn reduces worker carcinogen exposure as well as personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements. 42d Bio-

Environmental Engineering recently conducted air-sampling test for Hexavalent

Chromium 6 while using the Plastic Media Blast Room and identified that the results were 10X over the allowable exposure limit for this carcinogen in a 2 -hour task time. The Laser Ablation System Type CL20 Backpack Unit will generate better efficiency times, is safer for personnel than current technology and relatively inexpensive to maintain.
