R--US Army Chemical Materials Agency (CMA) Mission Support

The U.S. Army Chemical Materials Agency (CMA) is seeking to negotiate a sole source contract with Noblis, Inc., based in Falls Church, VA, to provide a broad range of engineering and programmatic analyses in support of the Army's mission to safely dispose of chemical agents and munitions. This contract will also include technical assistance to Source Selection Evaluation Boards responsible for reviewing proposals submitted to CMA. Additionally, the contract may support related initiatives such as the Assembled Chemical Weapons Alternatives (ACWA) Program and the Edgewood Chemical and Biological Center (ECBC). The contractor must demonstrate the ability to deliver unbiased, objective analyses that help guide program decisions without conflicts of interest or bias arising from prior or ongoing business relationships with facility designers, equipment manufacturers, or other contractors involved in the chemical demilitarization process. The contract emphasizes the need for maintaining integrity and independence to avoid controversy after technology and source selections. Although Noblis, Inc. is the anticipated sole source, the CMA has left the door open for other capable responsible parties to submit proposals if they meet the stringent requirements for knowledge, objectivity, and impartiality. The contract’s focus aligns with the critical national security mission of safely disposing chemical weapons while ensuring transparency and sound decision-making throughout the process. The contract is categorized under NAICS code 541330 and is issued by the Department of Defense office located at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland.
