RFI: Standoff Chemical Detector of Vehicles

The U.S. Army DEVCOM Chemical Biological Center (CBC) Spectroscopy Branch is conducting market research to identify sources that can provide optical standoff imaging technologies for integration onto unmanned ground platforms. The desired sensors must rapidly scan vehicle surfaces from a 2‑5 m distance, detect, map, and characterize chemical contamination, and be ready for platform integration and testing by DEVCOM. Only solutions that are commercially available at Technology Readiness Level 7 or higher (or lower‑TRL concepts with a rough‑order‑of‑magnitude cost estimate) will be considered; no additional research‑and‑development is required. Respondents must submit a brief technical approach, anticipated performance parameters, unit or ROM cost, up to three relevant past‑performance examples, and information on accounting (DCAA‑approved), purchasing system compliance (DFARS 252.244‑7001(c)), and facility clearance. The RFI is for information only—no contract will be awarded—and responses are due no later than 5:00 PM ET on 15 April 2026 via the listed government contacts.
