EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives (ATF), Firearms Operations Division (FOD) would like to acquire (3) three portable labs with a bullet recovery system to support its law enforcement partners in the field that currently do not have the out let and means to support the test firing of firearms for submission in to its National Integrated Ballistic Information Network, better known as NIBIN.

ORGANIZATION

Department of Justice (DOJ) Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) Firearms Operations Division (FOD) Audit and NIBIN Mobile Operations Branch

BACKGROUND

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Firearms, Operations Division is the home of the NIBIN Program. There are approximately 160 Federal, State and local NIBIN sites around the country. These sites include NIBIN "partners" at Federal, State and local agencies, and FOD personnel at the three ATF Forensic Science Laboratories (FSLs) in Atlanta, Georgia;

Ammendale, Maryland; and Walnut Creek, California as well as the NIBIN National Correlation and Training Center (NNCTC) located in Huntsville, Alabama.

All NIBIN sites use Integrated Ballistic Identification System (IBIS) technology to search ballistic information in an automated environment and provide links between firearms related violent crimes and recovered firearms. When used during an investigation, NIBIN can help solve violent crimes and identify shooters before they re-offend. NIBIN's mission is to reduce firearms violence by identifying, targeting and investigating shooters. A successful NIBIN program has ATF collaborating with other participating agencies while adhering to four critical steps:

• Comprehensive Collection

• Timely Turnaround

• Follow-Up

• Feedback:

OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this requirement is to provide three firearms test fire rooms so that our law enforcement partners have the ability to provide ballistic material from recovered firearms for NIBIN submission. These rooms will come complete with a shoot tank, HVAC system, HEPA ventilation, LED lighting internally and externally, internal and external cameras that record on internet accessible devices. The Lab will be specifically designed to accommodate a Bullet Recovery System and IBIS equipment and will have three sets of hook-ups for Ethernet, USB, HDMI and CAT6 connectivity.

SCOPE: This project will acquire expertise of a vendor that is certified and has the ability to provide an external 40’ X 8’ test fire room.

1.0 PORTABLE LAB SPECIFICATIONS

The portable lab will be at a minimum 8' x 8' x 40' commercial shipboard cargo container, all-steel construction with wood flooring and the following items and capabilities:

• The entire interior floor will be covered with a 1/8" white HDPE mat. The mat will be is secured with removable Stainless-Steel angle sufficient to ensure the mat will not lift.

• No adhesive or sealant will be used. The mat will be easily removed and replaced.

• The floor must be able to sustain a bullet recovery system that weighs two tons

• Camera system that is accessible via the internet

• Wall-mount air conditioner/heater, 12000/10200 BTUH

• 8-15 ea. Dimmable LED strips/cans on the ceiling to provide exceptional interior lighting.

• All personal/entry doors will have an exterior porch light.

• Min 36" x 78" x 18", 2-door locking ammunition cabinet.

• Interior insulated and paneled side walls, ceiling and doors.

• Electricity pre wire for minimum 220/115 vac, 60 amp fused switch panel (outdoor).

• Electricity pre wire for minimum 220/115 vac, 60 amp fused switch panel, (indoor).

• Accessible/plum for water and electricity

• All doors will be equipped to have key card access security and alarm system that has the ability to send alerts via the internet to computers and mobile devices.

• All plumbing and piping are to be constructed of brass, or stainless steel.

2.0. BULLET RECOVERY SYSTEM WILL INCLUDE:

The portable lab will be at a minimum 8' x 8' x 40' commercial shipboard cargo container, all-steel construction with wood flooring and the following items and capabilities:

The bullet recovery system will be a water tank and possess the following characteristics, specifications and capabilities:

• The system will be a minimum of 11’8” long by 3’8” wide.

• The containment vessel is 96” long, 28” wide and 48” high.

• Tank bottom, target end and all remaining sides a minimum of 1/4" thick Stainless Steel.

• The tank will be a self-contained, modular unit with every abutment welded 4 times – TIG welded inside & outside and MIG welded inside and out

• Will include detailed Operating Guides, warranty, utility hook-ups, start-up and personnel training.

• Unit will be capable of receiving a 50 BMG round

• 6" diameter shooting-port Solid State LED Interior Light

• There will be a lamp assembly mounted below the water line. The underwater light and housing must be specifically constructed to withstand dynamic shock of repeated .458 Win Mag firing, without damage, over the full warranty period.

• The lamp must be conveniently replaceable without draining the tank.

• Interior HDPE mat surface skimmer

• Commercial-grade water pump vacuum retrieval

• High-performance cartridge filter brass catcher

• Automated lid opening start up system

• HEPA air filtration system with high pressure blower

• Shooting port will be a 6" Sch. 40 Stainless Steel tube, angled such that the centerline of the tube extends to the abutment of the tank bottom and target end. Length of the tube will be sufficient to prevent a fired projectile from exiting the tank, regardless of the firearm-shooting angle.

• Bullet trap will allow users to have the ability to easily and quickly recover projectiles from the bottom of the tank. An integrated vacuum system and wand attachment will be utilized, with the capability of gathering a minimum of twelve 44 magnum, 180 grain projectiles in a single batch.

• After gathering, the projectiles and their accompanying fragments will be discharged into a mesh stainless steel basket using a simple operator control. Recovery procedure will enable the operator to access the entire bottom area of the tank. The vacuum system will have the additional capability of cleaning the tank using cleaning accessories.

3.0 WATER FILTRATION

• A commercial grade stainless-steel water pump and high-performance cartridge filter will be provided. The pump will be continuous-duty rated to at least 10gpm capacity with sufficient pressure to establish a visible surface flow from front to rear of tank. The pump must be protected by a loss of pressure switch with a delay-on-make time delay to enable a restart in the event of loss of prime.

4.0 AIR FILTRATION

• A high-pressure blower capable of evacuating the tank air volume within10 seconds will be provided. The blower must be capable of pulling air from around the shooter and into the tank without exposing the shooter to airborne lead and particulates.

• The exhaust system shall be circuited as follows: room air is drawn into the tank through the shooting port, exhausted from the tank through an outlet fitting, into the filter box, into the intake side of the blower, and discharged to room atmosphere. The circuiting must prevent the infiltration of water into the filter cabinet resulting from high-energy blasts.

• The filter housing may be aluminum or stainless steel, (see materials) and constructed in a manner that prevents the bypassing of air-borne lead particles into the atmosphere. Filter element will consist of a laboratory-certified 99.97% HEPA filter. A pressure-drop gauge will be integrated into the system and readily visible to the operator, indicating when a filter change is required.

5.0 ELECTRICAL/CONTROLS

• A single power source shall be utilized, nominal 120 VAC, 40 Amps single phase. The operation of the water pump; air blower; interior lighting and the raise/lower lid functions shall be remotely controlled from the shooting port end. The enclosures for the remote box and the main control panel will be constructed of stainless or aluminum, and the enclosures and user switches will be NEMA 12 rated. A ‘Sonalert’ type audible warning device must be activated when the lid is commanded to the DOWN position. When the air blower is engaged, the water pump will be interlocked so as to simultaneously disengage.

• If the tank is to be isolated from the frame by suspension on air springs, suitable grounding of the tank to the frame, and from the frame to earth ground will be ensured. Power for all electrical components must be provided through vendor-supplied GFI breakers. All plumbing and electrical to the tank must be provided with flexible connections.

• Provide hook-ups for three work stations to include, CAT6, HDMI, USB and Ethernet.

• All electrical work performed will conform to the latest edition of the National Electrical

Code.
