Chemical Emissions and Vapor Analysis

The contract focuses on the analysis of types and concentrations of vapors emitted during lithium-ion battery fire events, with particular attention to toxic off-gassing substances such as hydrogen fluoride (HF) and carbon monoxide (CO). This work is critical for understanding the chemical emissions produced in fire scenarios involving Li-ion batteries, which has important implications for safety, environmental impact, and emergency response. Issued by the Department of Homeland Security’s Headquarters Contract Operations (CG-912), this subcontract requires expertise in chemical emissions and vapor analysis under NAICS code 541620. The work is to be performed in New London, and proposals are due by May 27, 2026. This contract presents a specialized opportunity to contribute to national safety efforts by characterizing hazardous vapor emissions from battery fires and supporting the development of mitigation strategies.
