Title: Joint Project Manager Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Integrated Early Warning (JPM CBRN IEW) Independently Qualified and Production Capable Multi-Phase Chemical Sampling Analysis (MPCSA) Survey

The contract seeks to support the Joint Project Manager Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Integrated Early Warning (JPM CBRN IEW) initiative by acquiring Independently Qualified and Production Capable Multi-Phase Chemical Sampling Analysis systems (MPCSAs). These systems are required to be man-portable and capable of detecting, identifying, and classifying various chemical hazards, including liquids, solids, vapors, and aerosols, both known and unknown. The MPCSAs must also quantify low-level vapor and aerosol hazards while functioning effectively in dismounted configurations. The intended use includes several critical military operations such as post-attack monitoring, base defense, decontamination verification, demasking, reconnaissance, and confirmatory chemical analysis in forward operating locations. The Department of Defense, through the office at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, is conducting updated market research to evaluate current technical and manufacturing capabilities of MPCSA solutions. This solicitation, categorized under NAICS code 334516 and issued as a sources-sought notice with no set-aside, invites interested parties to provide information by the specified deadline to inform the government’s readiness assessments. The contract emphasizes full-rate production and deployment in tactical worldwide environments to ensure the Department of War can effectively execute its chemical hazard detection missions. The primary point of contact for this effort is Nathaniel W. Sievers.
