REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

FOR

HANDHELD GAS ANALYZERS

1. Description

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Panama City Division (NSWC.PCD) requests information on existing items such as handheld gas analysis (gas analyzers) to support confined space entry and post-fire atmospheric recovery aboard shipboard fire. To meet immediate damage control needs, the command requires highly portable, self-contained units weighing under 5 lbs that can be deployed in under 3 minutes and simultaneously detects/monitor O2, LEL, CO, H2S, VOC. Furthermore, to minimize shipboard maintenance footprints, the ideal solution must support an extended calibration-free interval of at least 12 months and feature a simplified, rapid field-sensor replacement process.
