The Department of the Army, specifically the Capability Program Executive for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense (CPE CBRND) and the Joint Project Manager for CBRN Integrated Early Warning (JPM CBRN IEW), is conducting a market survey to identify industry capabilities for miniature sensing elements. This Request for Information aims to locate innovative solutions for chemical and biological threat detection that support integrated early warning for the Joint Force. The effort is supported by the Joint Science and Technology Office for Chemical and Biological Defense and the DEVCOM Chemical Biological Center. Performance is centered at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, under solicitation number W911SR-26-R-JETT.
The primary scope involves the development, testing, and manufacturing of miniaturized sensing elements capable of class-based detection of threat agents with high specificity against environmental interferants. Required technologies must utilize transduction mechanisms and integrated components that meet strict constraints regarding size, complexity, cost, and power budgets. Furthermore, the government seeks scalable manufacturing methods utilizing Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) techniques. Responses should include white papers and technical insights addressing design feasibility, integration paths, operational readiness, and sustainment strategies.
This sources sought notice is classified under NAICS 541715 for Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology) and PSC 6665 for Hazard-Detecting Instruments and Apparatus. Detailed responses, including technical descriptions of proposed approaches and estimated timelines, are due by June 17, 2026. One attachment, a technical document titled DS-PubRel-FY26-0039, is provided as part of the formal notification.
