AOI 005 - JBMDL 87th Civil Engineering Group - Mold Remediation.docx

AOI - 005 TITLE: 87th CEG JB MDL, Mold Detection/Remediation TECHNOLOGY AREA(S): Construction, Maintenance and Repairs (M&R), Fire Protection, Environmental, Safety etc.

DESCRIPTION: The 87th Civil Engineer Group (87th CEG) comprises of the 87th Civil Engineer Squadron (87th CES) and 787th Civil Engineer Squadron (787th CES). They are responsible for acquisition, construction, M&R of over 4,055 base facilities, utilities, and infrastructure on 42,000 acres. They also provide JB MDL with emergency response, fire protection and explosive ordnance disposal response capabilities, engineering design, environmental management, dormitory management, combat readiness, and full-spectrum rapid recovery from attack or natural disaster in peace and war.

The areas listed below are general challenge areas that the Air Force is interested in novel solutions:

1. A user friendly data collection system with built-in analytics that can be used on-the-go and/or a desktop on the government network. This software will be used every time mold is reported to our customer service team.

2. An energy efficient and cost effective device to add a humidity control mechanism within fan coil units and air handling units to prevent mold occurrences year round.

3. Technology to detect non-visible and odorless mold.

The Air Force is interested in exploring innovative technology domains that may not be covered in the list above, so this topic is intended to also be a call for open ideas and technologies that cover other related areas not currently listed (i.e. the unknown-unknown). This topic is meant for innovative solutions to be adapted in innovative ways to meet the Department of Defense Stakeholders’ needs in a short timeframe and at a low cost.
