Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Keyport intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b) (1). A firm fixed priced contract will be issued to CleanLASER, 52134 Herzogenrath, Germany (or their authorized dealers), for rental of a CleanLASER model CL600 portable laser ablation system with handheld optic including CleanMOTION MDS system and supporting OSHE equipment. The Navy is seeking to enhance maintenance and sustainment capabilities to reduce time and cost with implementation of new technologies. Currently the Navy is unable to move forward with general procurement of laser ablation systems and associated vacuum/filtration systems due to a lack of knowledge of the Laser Generated Air Contaminants (LGAC) produce during laser ablation and the implications regarding Occupational, Health, Safety, and Environmental. A short term rental will allow for LGAC characterization of a range of several Navy specific coatings selected as a representative sample set of coatings utilized on naval ships and submarines. The characterization of LGAC solid particulate and vapors produced will support operating permit submission requirements for use on Naval installation to include shipyards, warfare centers, and regional maintenance centers. The targeted laser fluence range will support performance of the OSHE testing to include ablation of test coupons, sampling of vapor and solid particulates, analysis for hazardous air pollutants and metals, plume modeling of effluent, and preparation of Notice of Construction per our local regulatory agency and EPA requirements. The characterization of LGAC will enable development of performance specification required for full and open competition for acquisition and use of laser ablation coating removal systems.
