    The Air National Guard requires a contractor to provide labor, equipment, and a Senior Unexploded Ordnance Supervisor for the demilitarization (demil) of approximately 7,300 BDUs, totaling 92 tons, at the Airburst Range on Ft. Carson's premises. The key objective is to shear and crush these items efficiently and safely.
