- 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, bleach the dye out and recycle them into paper or fabric. The DRMS is looking for alternative uses for the material that will be of better use both economically and ecologically. The contents consist 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, infrared tabs, and or other assorted fastening mechanisms, as well as insect repellents. 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, 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 will not be entertained. 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 identifying 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. The DRMS does not intend to award a contract based on this RFI or otherwise pay for the information requested. Submission of a response to this RFI is voluntary.
