Gas Adsorbent Modules

The Army Contracting Command-New Jersey (ACC-NJ) is issuing a Sources Sought Notice for the production of Gas Adsorbent Modules (GAMs). The purpose of this market survey is to identify capable sources for the production of GAMs. The GAM is a two-piece red plastic ring that contains powdered manganese dioxide and cuprous oxide that adsorbs phosphine. It is essential for GAMs to mitigate by adsorbing and neutralize most of the phosphine gas emissions and thereby minimize the amount of phosphine in the ammunition container and fiber tube. Key features of the GAM include: • A circular plastic housing filled with two packets of a chemical adsorbent • The housing is constructed from high-impact polystyrene and has approximate dimensions of a height of 1.85 inches, an outer diameter (OD) of 3.1 inches, and an inner diameter (ID) of 2.3 inches • The housing is designed as two interlocking pieces, each comprising an upper and lower section • The GAM is used to adsorb phosphine gas emissions and minimize the amount of phosphine in the ammunition container and fiber tube
