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

The contract seeks to advance the development and potential full-rate production of Chemical Vapor Collectors designed for tactical deployment worldwide. These handheld or positionable systems must be capable of collecting and preconcentrating both known and unknown vapor and aerosol chemical threats for subsequent analysis using mass spectrometry or similar technologies. The Chemical Vapor Collectors are intended for dismounted use, supporting the Department of War's missions such as post-attack monitoring, base defense, decontamination assurance, demasking, dismounted reconnaissance, and field confirmatory chemical analysis in forward operating areas. The solicitation, titled "Joint Project Manager Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Integrated Early Warning (JPM CBRN IEW) Independently Qualified and Production Capable Chemical Vapor Collector Survey," is a sources-sought notice aimed at gathering updated market research from government and industry. This research will assess technical and manufacturing readiness of available Chemical Vapor Collector technologies. The opportunity is posted by the Department of Defense at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, with a response deadline of July 3, 2026. There is no set-aside designation for this request, and inquiries may be directed to the primary point of contact, Nathaniel W. Sievers.
