M4A1 JCAD & JCAD SLA MARKET RESEARCH

The U.S. Army Contracting Command – Detroit Arsenal is conducting market research through solicitation W912CH-26-R-0051 to evaluate industry capabilities for repairing the M4A1 Joint Chemical Agent Detector (JCAD) and the JCAD Solid Liquid Adapter (SLA), identified by NSNs 6665-01-586-8286 and 6665-01-698-5220, respectively. The effort aims to identify qualified vendors capable of performing root cause analysis, repair, and technical support for these specialized military systems, with a potential five-year contract anticipated for sustained maintenance. Respondents must demonstrate access to or the ability to obtain the proprietary Technical Data Package (TDP) owned by Smiths Detection, Inc., as the Government does not possess it, and must show capability to meet OEM specifications, including projected annual repair volumes of up to 1,449 units for the JCAD SLEP program and 200 units for the SLA in Year 5. All performance is expected to occur in Warren, Michigan, and vendors must certify their quality management systems, technical expertise, and past performance on similar government contracts. Responses are due by 2:30 p.m. Eastern time on May 22, 2026, and must be submitted electronically to Evan Graham at [email hidden] with the subject line “JCAD REPAIR SURVEY RESPONSE.” Submissions must be in Microsoft Word or PDF format and may include sales literature or product manuals as attachments. Any proprietary or confidential information must be clearly marked “CONFIDENTIAL” in all capital letters, accompanied by reference to 18 U.S.C. §1905, on both the email cover and document headers, with portion markings applied where applicable. Offerors are required to provide a data release authorization permitting Army personnel to review proprietary content for evaluation and must specify their business size status under NAICS 334511, including any applicable socioeconomic certifications. No formal contract clauses, evaluation factors, pricing, or delivery terms are included, as this is a pre-solicitation market research notice seeking industry input to shape future procurement strategy.
