EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Acquisition Background

The US Army Chemical Materials Activity Recovered Chemical Materiel Directorate (CMA RCMD) provides centralized management and direction to the Department of Defense (DOD) for the assessment and disposal of recovered chemical weapon materiel; and other chemical disposal missions; in a safe, environmentally sound and cost-effective manner. RCMD has five mission areas: (1) Support to Explosives and Munitions Emergencies (CONUS), (2) Support to planned recovered chemical warfare materiel (RCWM) assessment and destruction for munitions derived from remediation activities, (3) Continued Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) of technologies to assess and destroy RCWM, (4) General Support, and (5) Support to Combatant Commanders and others (including OCONUS operations).

Assessment is the first technical step in responding to recovered chemical warfare materiel, by determining what is inside the suspect chemical item without opening it, through the use of non-invasive technologies. For suspect glassware chemical agent training materials, such as Chemical Agent Identification Sets (CAIS), a Raman Spectrometer utilizes a laser to identify and characterize the presence of chemical agent. For munitions and storage containers, the Portable Isotopic Neutron Spectroscopy System (PINS) and Digital Radiography and Computed Tomography System, use gamma rays and X-rays to identify and characterize the presence of chemical agent, liquid fills, and energetic components; allowing for proper handling and treatment. These instruments are part of the Mobile Munitions Assessment System, which can transmit collected field data back to headquarters for analysis.

Recovered chemical munitions are often overpacked in Multiple Round Containers prior to the PINS and x-ray analysis, and are stored in an Interim Holding Facility pending disposal. The Explosive Destruction System is currently (2016) the primary technology utilized to dispose of recovered chemical munitions. Other destruction systems may also be used to destroy RCWM. The Single Chemical Agent Identification Set Access and Neutralization System is utilized to dispose of recovered Chemical Agent Identification Sets. The recovered chemical materiel assessment and disposal functions are enduring DOD/Army mission areas, which are projected to last many decades into the future.

A variety of equipment and facility assets; and operational, management, and maintenance skills have been accumulated by the U.S. Army and its performers in support of accomplishing the RCMD mission areas through the combination of in-house, other government agency (OGA), and contractor skill sets and resources. RCMD is nominally funded to support 18 assessment responses per year, and 2 destruction operations per year. This contract will provide RCMD with program management, mission, and operational planning support to supplement the capabilities of the RCMD in-house staff. The RCMD organic Government staff are the project engineers who require integrated contractual support across inter-related projects as delineated below.

This acquisition will establish overall capabilities and requirements that may be ordered under a basic indefinite delivery-indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract to provide RCMD broad programmatic and operational planning support divided into three areas:

-First, this contract provides program management support for establishing the cost estimates, budgetary documents, program schedules, analysis, and briefing packages required for RCMD to manage and integrate the activities required to accomplish its mission areas.

-Second, this contract provides mission support consisting of public outreach and knowledge management required for RCMD to accomplish its mission areas.

-Third, this contract provides operational support for assessment, storage, transportation, and destruction plans;

munitions assessment and the munitions assessment review board; destruction operations support; research and development testing support; safety support, analysis, and monitoring activities required to accomplish specific operational assignments and / or equipment development / evaluation activities.

Contract Description

This Solicitation will result in single award of an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) type contract, IAW FAR 16.5/DFARS 216.5, with a (1) year ordering period and (4) year options from the date of contract award. This contract will cover Recovered Chemical Materiel Directorate Program Management, Mission, and Operational Support for a performance period between January 2017 and January 2022. This Solicitation includes basic terms for the Recovered Chemical Materiel Directorate Program Management, Mission, and Operational Support contract, a Basic Performance Work Statement (PWS), and a PWS for the first Task Order. Once evaluated and a successful awardee selected, the Basic IDIQ contract and Task Order 0001 will be awarded at the same time. The award of Task Order 0001 will satisfy the Government’s minimum ordering liability, as contained in the basic contract.

Task Orders may be issued on either a Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) or Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) basis.

1.1 Background: The US Army Chemical Materials Activity Recovered Chemical Materiel Directorate (CMA-RCMD) provides centralized management and direction to the Department of Defense (DOD) for the assessment and disposal of recovered chemical warfare materiel (RCWM), and other chemical disposal missions, in a safe, environmentally sound and cost-effective manner. RCMD has five mission areas: 1) Support to explosives and munitions emergencies (CONUS), 2) Support to planned RCWM assessment and destruction for munitions derived from remediation activities, 3) Continued Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) of technologies to assess and destroy RCWM, 4) General Support, and 5) Support to Combatant Commanders and others (including OCONUS operations).

Assessment is the first technical step in responding to recovered chemical warfare materiel, by determining what is inside the suspect chemical item without opening it, through the use of non-invasive technologies. For suspect glassware chemical agent training materials, such as Chemical Agent Identification Sets (CAIS), a Raman Spectrometer utilizes a laser to identify and characterize the presence of chemical agent. For munitions and storage containers, the Portable Isotopic Neutron Spectroscopy (PINS) System and the Digital Radiography and Computed Tomography (DRCT) System use gamma rays and X-rays, respectively, to identify and characterize the presence of chemical agent, liquid fills, and energetic components; allowing for proper handling and treatment. These instruments are part of the Mobile Munitions Assessment System (MMAS), which can transmit collected field data back to headquarters for analysis. Recovered chemical munitions are often overpacked in Multiple Round Containers (MRCs) prior to the PINS and x-ray analysis, and are stored in an Interim Holding Facility (IHF) pending disposal. The Explosive Destruction System (EDS) is currently (2016) the primary technology utilized to dispose of recovered chemical munitions. Other destruction systems may also be used to destroy recovered chemical warfare materiel. The Single Chemical Agent Identification Set Access and Neutralization System (SCANS) is utilized to dispose of recovered Chemical Agent Identification Sets (CAIS). The recovered chemical materiel assessment and disposal functions are enduring DOD / Army mission areas which are projected to last many decades into the future.

A variety of equipment and facility assets as well as operational, management, and maintenance skills have been accumulated by the U.S. Army and its performers in support of accomplishing the RCMD mission areas through the combination of in-house, other government agency (OGA), and contractor skill sets and resources. RCMD is nominally funded to support 18 assessment responses per year, and 2 destruction operations per year. This contract will provide RCMD with program management, mission, and operational planning support to supplement the capabilities of the RCMD in-house staff.

The contractor must be familiar with these equipment assets in order to provide the required program management, mission, and operational planning support specified in this contract.

2.1.1 Portable Isotopic Neutron Spectroscopy Description: The Portable Isotopic Neutron Spectroscopy (PINS) system is utilized to identify chemical elements present in the fill material within closed munitions by analyzing gamma ray emissions. The PINS system is comprised of three primary parts: 1) A neutron source (radioactive source) is placed near the munition or storage container being analyzed, so that neutrons penetrate the shell and interact with its fill contents; 2) a gamma ray detector monitors the energies and intensities of gamma rays released by neutron interactions; 3) a multichannel analyzer supplies power and receives electrical impulses from the gamma ray detector. The voltage of each pulse is proportional to the gamma ray energy. These pulses are amplified and sorted according to voltage into many channels. While sorting, information converts from continuous data to specific digital data, which appears on a computer screen as an energy spectrum. Characteristic gamma ray peaks in the energy spectrum determine the presence and relative concentration of a specific chemical element. The gamma ray peaks can determine the presence and relative concentration of a specific chemical element. Analyzing the characteristic gamma ray peaks potentially allows for the identification of chemical compounds. Identifying specific chemicals inside closed containers enhances safety and expedites disposal of recovered chemical warfare materiel. PINS research and development efforts are underway to establish methods of reducing munition assessment scan times below 3000 seconds, and improving fill identification accuracy and capability. These investigations include: alternate neutron sources and detectors, and revised software algorithms.

2.1.2 Digital Radiography and Computed Tomography System Description: The field-portable Digital Radiography and Computed Tomography (DRCT) system is used to X-ray unidentified recovered chemical warfare materiel. The system uses an X-ray to vertically scan a suspect chemical munition on a rotating platform to produce a digital view of the munition’s interior to determine if the munition contains a liquid fill and if it is fuzed. Using a computer, the system allows an operator to remotely control all scanning and data collection operations. The DRCT can produce: 1) a conventional digital X-ray image of a munition or overpack up to 12 inches in diameter and 44 inches long in approximately three minutes; 2) a tomographic (two-dimensional X-ray) image of a portion of a munition at any height in approximately one minute; 3) a full 3-D image (360-degrees) in approximately 10 minutes.

Operators use the information collected to make decisions regarding the safe handling and storage of recovered munitions and to assist in content identification. While using the DRCT system, an operator can view the image and make adjustments to improve the image quality. In addition, the operator can make near real-time decisions based on the critical information the system provides. In addition to the DRCT equipment fielded with MMAS vehicles, larger capacity systems exist for imaging ton containers and other bulk items, and are stored at PBA, AR and INL, ID. An X-ray enclosure has been added to the high bay area of building E-4516 to reduce the safety stand-off distance during operator training. DRCT research and development efforts are underway to establish methods of accommodating larger objects, reducing munition assessment process cycle times and improving imaging clarity.

These investigations include exploring the use of alternate x-ray generators and detectors, and improving the computed tomography software.

2.1.3 Raman Spectrometer Description: A Raman Spectrometer is used to non-intrusively identify and evaluate the contents contained in Chemical Agent Identification Sets (CAIS). Soldiers once used CAIS to train in the safe handling, identification and decontamination of chemical warfare agents. The training sets consist of small quantities of chemical agents or industrial chemicals in glass ampoules, vials, or bottles. The Raman Spectrometer system consists of: 1) a portable computer for operating the system and analyzing collected data; 2) a Raman Spectrometer / laser unit; 3) a fiber-optic probe attached to a sample holder that holds the material to be analyzed.

The fiber-optic probe is placed against the glass wall of the CAIS item, directing a laser light. As the light from the laser passes through the glass wall, it excites the molecules of the substance inside the container. Operators send the signatures into the spectrometer and analyze them using the computer’s database. Once identified, the contents’ classification displays on the computer monitor. Operators then look for the distinctive chemical signatures of the chemical agents that make up the contents of CAIS. The system can identify solids and liquids without complicated and time-consuming sample preparation. Other than normal calibration, it is maintenance-free and can operate on many power sources, including a car battery. Setup takes 20 to 30 minutes with analysis of a suspect item complete in approximately 20 seconds.

2.1.4 Mobile Munitions Assessment System Description: The Mobile Munitions Assessment System (MMAS) is a truck based data collection platform containing the non-intrusive PINS, DRCT, and Raman Spectrometer systems, various support equipment consisting of carts, cables, liquid nitrogen storage containers, communication equipment, and a weather station. The MMAS serves as a command center during assessment operations; where MMAS operators use cameras to monitor activity around the site, and the weather monitoring system to constantly monitor weather conditions. Powered by a portable generator, the MMAS can be on site for extended periods of time. The MMAS is used to assess recovered items with unknown fills. The MMAS uses non-intrusive assessment equipment to rapidly collect detailed information on recovered items and provide that information to headquarters. The MMAS can travel to all 50 states and be transported by military aircraft. Once on site, the system can be operational within 25 minutes. The overall length of the truck/van body for the three MMAS units is approximately 26 ft 5 in; the width is 8 ft; and the height is 12 ft 5 in. The inside height of the van body is 6 ft 8 in. The gross vehicle weight rating of the truck chassis is 19,500 lb; the actual vehicle weight is approximately 18,500 lb. The MMAS vehicle contains the following major components and systems: MMAS mobile platform, heating and air conditioning system, electrical power supply and distribution system, PINS system, liquid Nitrogen (LN2) transport capabilities, radiography systems, Raman spectroscopy system, data acquisition and handling system, audio / video equipment, communications equipment, and support equipment.

2.1.5 Multiple Round Containers Description: Upon discovery of suspect Recovered Chemical Warfare Materiel (RCWM), the item is placed into a Multiple Round Container (MRC) for assessment and safe storage pending final disposition. MRCs are a family of seven differently sized over-pack containers designed to allow the safe storage and transport of various sizes of RCWM by aiding in the protection of their contents during rough handling, and containing potential chemical agent leaks during accidents. MRCs are stainless steel tubes that have a flange welded on one end, and a bolted flange on the other, and incorporates an o-ring seal for liquid and vapor containment. MRCs were specifically designed, tested and fielded for the transport of chemical warfare materiel.

MRCs exceed international packaging requirements, and are approved by the Department of Defense and Department of Transportation for the storage and transportation of RCWM in the public domain.

2.1.6 Interim Holding Facilities Description: Interim Holding Facilities (IHFs) are portable hazardous materials storage buildings that are about 8’ wide by 16’ long by 9’4” high, and weigh approximately 15,000 pounds. IHFs can be transported on highways without the need for special permits. The interior is a single room sheeted in stainless steel that has a grating above a solid floor that is sloped to a sump, has a dry chemical fire suppression system, and an explosion proof electrical system. Design characteristics require structural strength to survive winds that exceed 110 mph, 40 pounds per square foot snow loading, and blast integrity that exceeds 100 pounds per square foot blast or explosion resistance both on the inside and outside of roof, walls, and floor. The IHFs are rated for Seismic Condition Zone 4. Each IHF has one set of double doors in the center of one of the long walls and are equipped with two hooded high-security locking hasps to accommodate padlocks. Each IHF is equipped with an explosion proof air conditioning unit mounted on one end of the building, louvered vents on each end of the building, external lighting above all four side walls, and two Swagelok® air monitoring ports near the entry door. When deployed, IHFs are installed on a pad and are anchored and grounded in accordance with local building codes. Perimeter fencing and a clear area of at least 50 feet (15 meters) wide is maintained around the IHF for added security.

2.1.7 Single CAIS Access and Neutralization System Description: The Single CAIS Access and Neutralization System (SCANS) is a hand-held chemical treatment container used to access and treat Chemical Agent Identification Set (CAIS) bottles containing the chemical agent mustard or lewisite. CAIS include glass ampoules, vials, and bottles, which contain 4 ounces or less of chemical agents or industrial chemicals. The Army manufactured and distributed CAIS items to military installations around the country between 1928 and 1969 to train Soldiers in the safe identification, handling and decontamination of chemical agents. Many CAIS items were buried, which was an acceptable practice until the 1970s. The Army expects to continue recovering CAIS items through ongoing remediation and construction activities. CAIS items containing diluted agent or industrial chemicals in glass ampoules and vials are packaged and processed as hazardous waste. SCANS operations contain four steps as described below:

a.) To begin treatment, an operator places a single CAIS glass bottle inside the SCANS container adjacent to a 4-liter glass jar containing neutralization chemicals, which operators mix on site.

b.) Operators seal the SCANS by securing the access lid.

c.) The operator hits the breaker bar with a hammer, shattering both jars and mixing the agent and neutralent in the sealed container. The neutralization reaction and associated products remain completely contained within the SCANS.

d.) Operators overpack the SCANS along with absorbent material into a larger container meeting U.S.

Department of Transportation requirements. Operators then label the overpacked SCANS and ship it to a permitted facility for final treatment and disposal.

2.1.8 Explosive Destruction System Description: The trailer mounted Explosive Destruction System (EDS) is used to provide on-site treatment of chemical warfare materiel in a safe, environmentally sound manner to support both planned and quick-response operations. The EDS uses cutting charges to explosively access chemical munitions, eliminating their explosive capacity before the chemical agent is neutralized. The main component is a sealed stainless steel vessel that contains all the blast, vapor, and fragments during RCWM processing. Treatment completion is confirmed by sampling residual liquid and air from the vessel prior to opening the EDS vessel door.

CMA-RCMD maintains two phase 1 and three phase 2 EDS units. Both sizes are approved to handle bomblets, 75 mm projectiles, 4.2 inch mortars and Livens projectiles. The EDS phase 2 units can also handle 155 mm and 8 inch projectiles. The EDS phase 1 units can treat up to three rounds at a time, while the EDS phase 2 units can process up to six rounds at once. The EDS also includes various support equipment components consisting of a utility support trailer, diesel generator, air compressor, fire set, and various consumables. EDS operations require an environmental enclosure, ventilation and filtration system, air monitoring and laboratory capabilities, and a command post. The EDS has been proven to treat blister, nerve, and blood agents; and chloropicrin and phosgene.

EDS operations contain eleven steps as described below:

a.) Operators bring the overpacked munition into the environmental enclosure and monitor it to determine level of protective dress required for operators b.) Operators unpack the munition and place it in the munition holder c.) Explosive shaped charges are placed along the munition body and detonator wires are attached d.) Operators slide the munition holder assembly into the EDS vessel e.) The door is closed and sealed, confirmed by a helium leak test f.) Operators remotely detonate the linear shaped charges to access the munition body and its chemical fill and eliminate its explosive capacity g.) Once neutralization chemicals are added, the vessel is heated if needed and rotated to mix the contents and neutralize the chemical fill h.) A liquid neutralent sample is tested in the onsite laboratory to ensure treatment is complete i.) After successful treatment is confirmed, liquid and solid waste is put into 55 gallon drums j.) The vessel undergoes a water rinse, is heated if necessary, and is drained again k.) Waste products are shipped to an approved disposal facility and disposed of in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local laws

EDS research and development efforts are underway to establish methods of reducing munition treatment process cycle times and disposal campaign costs. These investigations include: alternate reagents, increased agent to reagent ratios, lower reaction temperature, steam heating, establishing an integral liquid analysis system, establishing an automated vapor monitoring system, alternate door clamp and hinge design, alternate door seal lubricant, increased capacity liquid transfer hoses and pumps, universal munition storage container, and potential use of electromagnetic shape charges.

2.1.9 Environmental Enclosure Description: An environmental enclosure provides weather protection and interior environmental control for equipment operations and worker safety during EDS operations. Although not anticipated or expected, the environmental enclosure will also provide secondary vapor containment for the EDS operation should an unexpected release of agent occur during unpacking or loading of the munition. An air filtration system is provided for the environmental enclosure that consists of prefilters, high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters, and carbon filters along with monitoring ports, fan, and ductwork. A smoke test is conducted on the environmental enclosure to certify the filter unit and to check airflow velocity to ensure that the environmental enclosure is able to maintain negative pressure inside the structure relative to the outside air. The size of the carbon filter units are more than adequate to absorb any agent that could be released from a leaking munition. Two styles of environmental enclosures are used to house the EDS; the General Purpose Operations Shelter (GPOS), and the Vapor Containment Structure (VCS). The GPOS is a tent-like all-weather mobile shelter approximately 29.5 feet wide by 58.5 feet long by 15 feet tall at the centerline, consisting of a series of arched, rigid ribs and tent fabric covering the arch and ends. The VCS are prefabricated steel arch buildings. Both the GPOS and VCS versions of environmental enclosures are reusable structures that are transported to operating sites along with the EDS and support equipment. CMA-RCMD currently owns multiple GPOS and VCS units.

2.1.10 Mobile Command Post Description: The mobile command post (MCP1) is a 1998 Winnebago Vectra Grand Tour motor home that has been configured to serve as the operational headquarters during EDS site operations. Video feed from cameras, audio feed from operational personnel, and weather station information can be monitored from within the MCP. A second MCP vehicle (MCP2) is a 2007 International Harvester model 4300 truck.

2.1.11 Chemical Demilitarization Training Facility and Warehouses Description: The Chemical Demilitarization Training Facility (CDTF) campus is located at Aberdeen Proving Ground – South (APG-S), and consists of a high bay area, utility rooms, machine shop, laboratory training building, several equipment training classrooms, storage rooms, multiple conference rooms and general classrooms, administrative offices, and surrounding sidewalks and parking areas. CDTF equipment support operations are assisted by a pickup truck, flatbed truck, small forklifts, large forklift, and overhead crane. Three warehouses at APG-S, and one warehouse at Pine Bluff Arsenal are used to support the CMA-RCMD mission.

2.1.12 Miscellaneous Equipment Description: Miscellaneous equipment consists of ten enhanced on-site containers (EONCs), the Large Item Transportable Access and Neutralization System (LITANS), a trailer mounted detonation chamber, vapor control units, and various other equipment components collected in support of the CMA- RCMD mission. These items are currently in long term storage.

2.1.13 Future Equipment Description: The Static Detonation Chamber (SDC) was utilized to supplement the processing capability of baseline incinerator plant equipment of the former Chemical Materials Agency chemical stockpile disposal program. The SDC may be transferred to CMA-RCMD control for future use and/or disposal. A larger variant of the Explosive Destruction System may be developed and fabricated to provide increased munition processing capability over the current phase 2 EDS units. The Transportable Detonation Chamber (TDC) and DAVINCH-Lite are additional explosive based destruction systems undergoing evaluation and/or testing during 2016, which may join the set of RCMD equipment assets.
