FUNDING AVAILABLE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY

DEMONSTRATION AND VALIDATION

ARLINGTON, VA, January 04, 2007 -The Department of Defense (DoD) through 
the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP), 
supports the demonstration and validation of environmental technologies 
that address priority DoD environmental requirements. The goal of ESTCP 
is to transition mature environmental science and technology projects 
through the demonstration and validation phase, thereby enabling 
promising technologies to receive regulatory and DoD end-user acceptance 
and to be fielded and commercialized more effectively and more rapidly.

ESTCP is seeking innovative environmental technology demonstrations as 
candidates for funding beginning in Fiscal Year (FY) 2008.  This 
solicitation requests pre-proposals via Calls for Proposals to DoD 
organizations and Federal (Non-DoD) organizations, and via a Broad 
Agency Announcement for Private Sector organizations. PRE-PROPOSALS ARE 
DUE BY THURSDAY, MARCH 15, 2007.

Detailed instructions for DoD, Non-DoD Federal, and BAA proposers (i.e., 
ESTCP’s objectives, proposal submission requirements, a summary of the 
proposal evaluation process, and the relevant topic areas) are available 
on the ESTCP website: http://www.estcp.org/opportunities.

DoD organizations (Service and Defense Agencies) may submit 
pre-proposals for demonstrations of innovative environmental 
technologies in the following topic areas:

    * Environmental Restoration - innovative technologies for the 
cost-effective detection, characterization, assessment, containment and 
remediation of chemical contaminants in soil, sediments, and ground and 
surface water.
    * Munitions Management - advanced geophysical sensor and signal 
processing technologies for the site characterization, detection and 
discrimination, remediation, and prevention of unexploded ordnance (UXO) 
and technologies for range clearance and reduced generation of UXO.
    * Sustainable Infrastructure - natural resources management (e.g., 
ecosystem-based management, land management and watershed protection, 
maritime sustainability), facilities and energy management (e.g., 
energy, noise, air and water quality, facility waste), and detection and 
evaluation of cultural resources on military installations.
    * Weapons Systems and Platforms - advanced alternative 
environmental technologies and materials associated with the design, 
construction, maintenance, repair and operations of DoD weapons systems 
and platforms (e.g., manufacturing and maintenance, green energetics, 
emissions.)

The Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) is seeking proposals from Non-DoD 
Federal organizations and the Private Sector for environmental 
technologies in the following topic areas only:

    * Military Munitions Detection, Discrimination, and Remediation
    * Sustaining Natural Resources on Training and Testing Lands
    * Remediation of Contaminated Groundwater
    * Remediation of Contaminated Sediments
    * Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy for DoD Installations
