    Description

    The Department of Defense, specifically the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD), is seeking sources for a small-deck hydraulic can crusher designed to efficiently process paint and aerosol cans. The primary objective is to develop equipment that can crush 5-gallon and 1-gallon steel paint cans to a height below 1 inch, allowing them to be classified as "empty" under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, thus facilitating less regulated disposal and reducing hazardous waste management costs. This equipment is crucial for enhancing waste disposal efficiency and ensuring operator safety aboard naval vessels, with specifications emphasizing compact dimensions, hydraulic power, and the ability to capture and redirect aerosol emissions. Interested vendors should contact Lametria Smith at lametria.r.smith.civ@us.navy.mil or Barbaraann K Witz at barbaraann.k.witz.civ@us.navy.mil for further details.

    The document outlines the specifications and requirements for equipment meant to process paint cans, intended for use in naval applications. The critical aspects include the equipment's size, which ideally should remain below 3000 lbs, as well as the capability to handle 1-gallon and 5-gallon paint cans separately. There are no specific requirements for aerosol gas management, disposal processes, operational and environmental standards, or additional features, reflecting flexibility in design and functionality. The Navy has not imposed conditions on installation, maintenance, or operator training, as the equipment is solely for testing and evaluation purposes. Overall, the document indicates a broad range of acceptable options, with no stringent requirements specified, facilitating the bidding process for potential vendors in the context of governmental procurement.
    Statement of Work Sources Sought .pdf
    The Navy's Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) is seeking sources for a small-deck hydraulic can crusher designed to efficiently process paint and aerosol cans. The initiative is guided by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, which classifies properly crushed paint cans as "empty," allowing for less regulated disposal, thus decreasing costs and labor associated with hazardous waste management. Key specifications include a hydraulic power source, electronic controls, and compact dimensions (maximum height of 6.5 feet, width and depth of 52 inches). The equipment must effectively crush 5-gallon and 1-gallon steel paint cans to a height below 1 inch and possess features for crushing and draining aerosol cans, with the capability to capture and redirect aerosol emissions safely. Preferences include a flat crushing surface, modular assembly, and explosion-proof ratings where applicable. The request focuses on identifying viable technologies to meet operational requirements aboard naval vessels while enhancing waste disposal efficiency and operator safety.
