AI Contract Overview

The Blast Overpressure Sensor System (BOSS) initiative, managed by the Army Contracting Command-APG and Project Manager Maneuver Medical Systems, is currently in the market research phase via Request for Information W91CRB-26-RFI-BOSS. The objective is to identify qualified sources capable of providing a Soldier-worn device designed to track, store, and transmit blast overpressure events from explosions or tier-one weapons. This data is intended to support longitudinal medical studies on brain health and inform real-time medical decisions within the PEO Soldier Data Eco-System. The government is seeking to assess industry capabilities, evaluate risks, and determine the feasibility of meeting specific Key Performance Parameters (KPPs) and Critical Logistic Specifications (CLS). Technical requirements for the BOSS device include the ability to report peak pressure, duration, and impulse, with a minimum trigger threshold of 80 percent for peak pressure levels between 0.5 and 60 psi. The system must support a minimum memory capacity of 500 events, comply with MIL-STD 461G for electromagnetic interference, and demonstrate interoperability with tactical systems such as TAK servers and DoD cloud systems. Logistically, the government desires a delivery timeline of 30 to 45 days after award and a five-year warranty, though a minimum one-year warranty and 45 to 90-day delivery window are acceptable. This RFI is strictly for planning purposes and is not a request for proposals or quotations; therefore, no contract will be awarded based on this announcement. Interested vendors must submit their responses by 1600 Eastern on September 11, 2026, via email. Submissions must include a one-page cover page and completed versions of the amended Requirement Document (Attachment 1) and the Remarks Excel file (Attachment 2), providing sufficient technical data to demonstrate compliance with the stated KPPs and logistical requirements.

*** Amendment 01 Summary of Changes ***

Attachment 1 Updated: Replaced the original Attachment 1 with "Amended_RFI Attachment 1- Blast Overpressure Sensor System (BOSS) Requirement Document.pdf". The chart headings on pages 2 and 3 have been corrected to read "Key Performance Parameter" to align with the definitions on page 1.
Industry Q&A Provided: Added the official Industry Q&A log addressing COTS requirements and KPP chart clarifications.
Addition of Missing Attachment: "RFI Attachment 2_Blast Overpressure Sensor System (BOSS) Remarks.xlsx" has been added to the solicitation on SAM.gov.
- Action Required: As stated in Section 3 (Submission Instructions), vendors must utilize and complete this Excel file as part of their response package.
Clarification of Requirement Document: "Amended_RFI Attachment 1- Blast Overpressure Sensor System (BOSS) Requirement Document.pdf" remains a mandatory attachment. Vendors must review this document to understand the Key Performance Parameters (KPPs) and Critical Logistic Specifications (CLS) required to formulate a complete response.

=======================================
[ORIGINAL RFI TEXT]

1. Background:
Through three National Defense Authorization Acts (NDAA), Section 734 of the 2018 NDAA, Section 253 of the 2019 NDAA, and Sections 717 and 742 of the 2020 NDAA, Congress mandated longitudinal medical studies on Blast Overpressure (BOP) exposure. These studies aim to improve the DoD’s understanding of how blast exposure affects Service Members’ brain health and to better inform policies on risk mitigation, unit readiness, and health care decisions. The BOSS will be a Soldier-worn device designed to track, store, and transmit blast overpressure events caused by shock waves above normal atmospheric pressure, whether from tier-one weapons or explosions during training and combat. By proactively monitoring blast exposure, BOSS may help reduce injury severity. It will provide real-time data to inform medical decisions and maintain exposure history for long-term health monitoring within the PEO Soldier Data Eco-System.

2. Objective and Purpose/Scope:
The Government intends to conduct a Sources Sought to identify qualified sources capable of meeting the required Key Performance Parameters (KPPs), as well as to gain an understanding of how potential vendors may be able to meet these requirements in the future. Through this market research effort, the Government seeks to assess current industry capability, evaluate associated risks, and determine the feasibility and maturity of potential paths toward full KPP compliance. The information received will help the Government shape acquisition planning, refine requirements, and better understand the solutions available or emerging within industry.

3. Submission Instructions:

Response Due Date: Interested parties shall submit the RFI response electronically by 1600 Eastern on 11 September 2026 via e-mail to: roxanne.a.dalrymple.civ@army.mil; timothy.j.compton7.civ@army.mil
