- Solicitation This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6. The solicitation number is AG-82FT-S-09-S-10-0033. This announcement constitutes only the solicitation, proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The proposed contract is set aside 100% for small business concerns. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541712, size standard is 500 employees. The objectives of this study are to assess high-temperature fast pyrolysis for utilizing sawmill waste and forest treatment residues to produce marketable synthesis gas and a biochar potentially capable of being further processed into a marketable activated carbon product. The objective of this statement of work is to collect samples of biochar, activated carbon, and synthesis gas produced from Montana mill and logging residue using high-temperature fast pyrolysis process technology. The biochar, carbon product, and synthesis gas samples will be analyzed to characterize their chemical and physical properties, and samples of the carbon will be tested for use in making activated carbon. In addition, researchers will assess the feasibility of conducting a second phase of the project, which will include a production study to collect shift-level data for longer production runs using one or more local feedstocks. Please see the full statement of work attached to the SF-1449. Bid MUST be good for 30 calendar days after close of buy.
