JSPDS Task Order 15_Jul_11_AFL.docx

SAMPLE TASK ORDER 0003

JOINT SERVICE PERSONNEL SKIN

DECONTAMINATION SYSTEM - (JSPDS)

25 Jul 11

1.0 OBJECTIVE

The objective of this task order is to provide test capability support to Air Force Operational Test and Evaluation Center (AFOTEC) Detachment 2 (Det 2) on the Joint Service Personnel Skin Decontamination System (JSPDS) operational test program. This task is within the scope of the Operational Test and Evaluation Services (OTES) Performance Work Statement (PWS) Section 3.

1.1 BACKGROUND

In early 2003, the Joint Requirements Office (JRO) decided to administratively split the Joint Service Family of Decontamination System (JSFDS) into four sub-programs, one of which is JSPDS. The four programs are managed by Marine Corp Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM) and share many of the same programmatic documents. AFOTEC Det 2 is the lead for conducting the Multi-Service OT&E (MOT&E) for JSPDS.

The JSPDS is a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved medical device. It is an individually carried skin decontamination kit consisting of three packets that fits in the warfighters pockets. It provides the same or greater capabilities (number of decontamination operations and area of coverage) as the currently fielded M291 Skin Decontaminating Kit (SDK). The JSPDS will be used by the warfighter to perform immediate decontamination of skin, field protective masks, mask hoods, chemical protective gloves and individual and crew served weapons under .50 caliber.

The JSPDS will be employed on the integrated battlespace as a means to reduce or eliminate Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear/Toxic Industrial Material (TIM) hazards posing threats to personnel conducting military operations. The JSPDS will be used for immediate decontamination, during Mission Oriented Protective Posture (MOPP) gear exchange, and during Detailed Troop Decontamination (DTD) operations. Immediate decontamination, also known as emergency decontamination, includes personal wipe down (including hood, mask, gloves, and individual equipment) and patient or casualty decontamination (excluding wounds for Increment I).

Reactive Skin Decontaminant Lotion (RSDL) was competitively selected for JSPDS Increment I. A full-spectrum decontamination system, the JSPDS will consist of both decontaminant(s) and applicator(s) required to immediately reduce morbidity and mortality resulting from Chemical Biological Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) contamination of the skin. RSDL consists of a free oxime and potassium salt of an oxime, dissolved in a polyethylene glycol ethylether and water mixture. RSDL is an aqueous based solution and is provided in individually sized packets with a pre-impregnated foam pad that is used to apply the active, viscous, liquid lotion to the suspected contamination area.
