- This Special Notice W15QKN-13-Z-B002 shall replace the notice W15QKN-13-Z-B001 for DEMIL INDUSTRY DAY. The amended item is as follows: Attachment "DEMIL OVERVIEW SLIDES" has been added. The Office of the Product Manager Demilitarization and the Joint Munitions Command will co-sponsor and host an Industry Day for the identification of innovative ideas regarding the increased efficiency of ammunition demilitarization (DEMIL), primarily at Army depot installations. As Single Manager for Conventional Ammunition (SMCA), the Army is responsible for the demilitarization of all fielded ammunition for the Military Services that is unserviceable, obsolete, or excessive to requirements. The DEMIL stockpile exceeds 600,000 tons and is projected to grow; stockpile reduction is a significant challenge. Demilitarization is the destruction and disposal of Defense items so that they cannot be used for further military purposes and their residual parts can be safely handled and disposed of by civilian society. Ammunition Demilitarization is conducted at Army Depots and certain commercial facilities through a variety of processes including, but not limited to closed disposal technologies, Open Burn / Open Detonation, thermal destruction, explosive fill extraction, and disassembly. The purpose of this Industry Day is to enable the commercial industry and the Army ammunition community to identify and discuss new and innovative ways of conducting ammunition demilitarization on Army Depot installations in an open forum. It will also explore the idea of public private partnerships at ammunition depots accomplishing demilitarization as a mechanism to encourage investment and increase efficiency in depot ammunition demilitarization operations. This meeting is designed to provide depot capabilities and locations of ammunition stocks slated for demilitarization to commercial industry and solicit industry ideas on options for cooperative demilitarization operations between commercial industry and government depots. The government will kick off this Industry Day with a detailed briefing highlighting the current Army Demilitarization Program to share information to spur discussion. These slides are anticipated to be shared on this site on or around November 14, 2012. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions during Industry Day, and those questions will be answered as time permits. Any unanswered questions will be posted as an attachment to this notice on or about one (1) week following the event. All information discussed at Industry Day will be unclassified.
