Description
This is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by Defense Reutilization and Marketing Service (DRMS). The intent of this RFI is to locate sources capable of controlled/secure recycling of uniforms for their material content vice incineration. For example - tear the uniforms into shreds under positive control, to make DoD markings unrecognizable and recycle them into paper, fabric or construction materials.
The DRMS is looking for alternative uses for the material that will of better use both economically and ecologically. The content consists of materials such as water-treated ripstop poplin, water repellant treated cotton warp and nylon filling, cotton/nylon twill cloth, etc. Items may or may not include buttons, Velcro, patches, tabs, and/or other assorted fabric fastening mechanisms. Fasteners and other attachments not carrying distinctive DoD markings may be reused. Some items may contain residue of insect repellants.
Interested parties are encouraged to respond with an information paper of no more than two (2) pages. The information paper should include, but is not limited to, capabilities, location security measures, transportation, intended processes including how materials containing pesticide residue will be handled, and end outcome. Points of performance may or may not include locations both within the Continental United States (CONUS) and outside of the Continental United States (OCONUS); however, interested parties are cautioned that movement of the property from CONUS to OCONUS or vice versa is not acceptable. Please submit information that would allow DRMS to review and assess capabilities and end outcome for the use of the material. The Government seeks to mitigate costs and risks by indentifying environmentally sound alternatives and potential entities for this material.
This RFI is for planning purposes only and shall not be construed as a Request for Proposal (RFP) or as an obligation on the part of DRMS to acquire any products or services.
