Joint Project Manager Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Integrated Early Warning (JPM CBRN IEW) Independently Qualified and Production Capable Chemical Vapor Collector Survey

The Department of Defense, through the Joint Project Manager Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Integrated Early Warning (JPM CBRN IEW), is conducting market research to identify independently qualified and production-capable Chemical Vapor Collectors that can operate in a dismounted, handheld configuration for tactical use worldwide. The system must collect and/or preconcentrate known and unknown vapor and aerosol chemical hazards for subsequent analysis using a mass spectrometer or equivalent analytical platform. Operational use cases include post-attack monitoring, base defense, decontamination assurance, demasking, dismounted reconnaissance, and field confirmatory chemical analysis in forward operating locations. The device must be portable, capable of meeting or exceeding a Technology Readiness Level of 3, and demonstrate reproducible and consistent performance under high-volume production conditions. Respondents are required to show the ability to deliver a prototype by the third quarter of fiscal year 2027 and provide well-defined operation and maintenance manuals along with corresponding training materials. Respondents must submit their capabilities through the JETT portal by July 3, 2026, using a maximum ten-page capabilities statement in no smaller than 10-point font and completing a brief technology questionnaire. The submission must not include proprietary, classified, or personally identifiable information, and companies must disclose their facility clearance status and the number of personnel holding U.S. government security clearances, or outline plans to obtain a facility clearance if none currently exists. Technical data rights associated with the system must be indicated to assess long-term organic sustainment feasibility. The Government is seeking cost estimates for potential quantities of 25, 100, 250, and 500 units per year for market analysis purposes only. No formal solicitation, contract award, or pricing structure exists at this stage, and the action is strictly for sourcing and readiness assessment under NAICS code 334516. The point of contact for technical inquiries is Nathaniel W. Sievers, and all correspondence must be routed through the JETT system; the place of performance is Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland.
