TITLE: CONTINUOUS TECHNOLOGY REFRESHMENT (CTF), NEXT GENERATION M61 LAYERED BED FILTERS

1.0 SCOPE. The Joint Project Manager – Protection (JPM-P) has a requirement to field Joint Service General Purpose Masks (JSGPM) and their associated support equipment. The JSGPM Next Generation Filter has requirements for removal of several Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs) that are not being met by filters currently in production. This Continuous Technology Refreshment Delivery Order (see ref 2.1, section C.3.9 of the basic contract) is to procure prototype filters for evaluation against those requirements. This delivery order requires the contractor to manufacture layered bed filters, of its own choosing, expected to best meet the specified requirements. The goal is to achieve as many objective requirements as possible after first meeting the threshold requirements. It is anticipated that the results of this effort will lead to a field-able configuration for the next generation of M61 canister. Numerous configurations of layered bed M61 canister have been previously produced in support of design optimization. This effort is a follow-on to a similar efforts in FY18, FY17 and FY16. This effort is intended to allow the manufacturers an opportunity to build on previous work and further mature their design, manufacturing process and quality controls. The results of previous testing are being provided to the contractors under separate cover as part of this tasking. The Government will use the filters to conduct testing and determine the suitability of the contractor- supplied filters.

1.1 BACKGROUND. The Chemical Biological Defense Program has developed a novel adsorbent, Cobalt Zirconium Hydroxide Zinc Silver Triethylenediamine (CoZZAT) and has done some preliminary evaluation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), specifically UiO-66-NH2, to enhance the TIC capacity of JSGPM filters. Government research has shown that these materials tend to provide the best overall (TIC and Chemical Warfare Agent) protection when utilized in layers with more traditional carbon based adsorbents.

1.2 OBJECTIVE. The objective of this delivery order is to construct M61 canisters with expanded TIC protection capabilities for use by the Government to evaluate proposed design configurations and mature the contractor’s manufacturing capability. The contractors shall determine the adsorbant(s), configurations, and design of its filter.
