About this file
This document is a Product Description (PD) for a 4th Combat Aviation Brigade (4CAB) Retractable Enclosure Acquisition. The PD outlines the requirements for a six-stage air filtration system that can capture 100% of particulates and clean the air of VOCs, returning clean air to the shop environment. Key details include:
The system must be portable and retractable, with a 9'H x 16.5'W x 40'L enclosure, an 18,000 CFM air handling system, an anteroom, fire suppression system, and other features. It must meet ANSI Z9.7 and NFPA 33 requirements. The required delivery date is 60 days after award, with delivery to Fort Carson, Colorado. The PD also includes background information on the need to address hexavalent chromium exposure during aircraft maintenance.
The related federal contract opportunity is a Sources Sought notice for an Air Filtration System, issued on a small business set-aside basis by the Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command at Fort Hood. The notice solicits information from small businesses to determine their ability to meet the requirement at a fair market price.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
4th CAB Retractable Enclosure Acquisition
5 August 2024
Requested Delivery Date: 60 Days following Award Date Delivery Address: 3002 Airfield Road Building 9649 Fort Carson Colorado 80913
Description of Product/Introduction: Six stage filtration process to capture 100% of particulate and thoroughly clean the air of VOCs so that clean air is returned to the shop environment. Tested to ANSI Z9.7 as per the requirements of NFPA33 Chapter 7.5.2. Pulls 18,000 CFM which maintains over the minimum 100 linear feet per minute at the intake filters therefore keeping the conditions well below the 25% low explosion limit. Interlocked the fan and spray air so that the system will not allow the user to spray contaminants unless the fan is running.
VOC monitor to ensure that the VOC level does not rise above 50ppm which is the allowable 8 hour time weighted average as specified by OSHA. Spark-proof fan is designed for coating applications and the motor and electrical are outside of the airstream in accordance with design requirements of NFPA 33. The electrical panel is UL listed and the entire mechanical system is built using UL listed components. The housing box is built using 16 and 12 gauge steel and is completely air sealed.
Retractable enclosure 9'H x 16.5'W x 40'L with (6) Quick seals on a panel for electrical pass through with 18,000 CFM air handling system, Hubbell plug and 50’ cord wip or equal, anteroom and 2- SAM HEPA units or equal, C1/D1 LED lights- 8 per enclosure, fire suppression system with audible & visual warning, replacement particulate stage filters (12-18 month supply), installation supervision and training (travel and accommodation cost included in price) requested during time period indicated below, extended 5-Year warranty with an option to buy an extended 10-Year warranty plan. See deliverables listed below. The system shall be portable and retractable.
Fire suppression system: Must be designed using a Pre-Engineer Extinguishing Manual and meets requirements NFPA 17 “Standard for Dry Chemical Extinguishing Systems” and is UL listed under filing number EX 4864 and also uses the recommendations by FEMA in their paper ”Protection of Curtain Walled Workstations”, which is found in NFPA33. Must meet NFPA 17 Standard dry chemical extinguishing system 110v-220v electrical input with Audible and Visual Warning.
Background of Product: Hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] is one of the valence states (+6) of the element chromium.
It is usually produced by an industrial process. Cr(VI) is known to cause cancer. In addition, it targets the respiratory system, kidneys, liver, skin and eyes. Chromium metal is added to alloy steel to increase hardenability and corrosion resistance and is commonly used in aviation material. A major source of worker exposure to Cr(VI) occurs during "hot work" such as welding on stainless steel and other alloy steels containing chromium metal as well as grinding, sanding and painting. Currently this type of “hot work” is conducted on a down draft table in the airframe shop or in the paint booth. While down draft tables aid in pulling particulates out of the air anything that is not captured is released and can potentially expose other individuals within the hangar that are not generally exposed in the course of their duties. Additionally, particulates can attach to soldiers’ uniform and be transmitted
