Aerosol Vapor Chemical Agent Detector (AVCAD)

The Joint Project Manager Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear Integrated Early Warning (JPM CBRN IEW) is issuing a Sources‑Sought RFI (W911SR‑26‑R‑AVCAD) to assess market capability for an independently qualified, production‑ready Aerosol Vapor Chemical Agent Detector (AVCAD). Responders must submit a brief capabilities statement (≤10 pages, 8.5 × 11 in., ≥10‑point font) that demonstrates a portable system (≤0.85 ft³, ≤18 lb including batteries) capable of detecting and identifying vapor and aerosol traditional CWAs and non‑traditional agents at very low levels, with a Mean Time Between Operational Mission Failure of ≥370 hours and a Mean Time Between False Alarms of ≥50 hours. The detector must operate in both dismounted and mounted configurations (including Stryker NBCRV), support remote alarm and control via a tablet‑hosted application, and meet Technology Readiness Level 8 (fully qualified through test and demonstration). Submissions must address technical data rights, facility clearance status, supportability, maintenance, and cost estimates for annual quantities of 500, 750, 1,000, 3,000, and 5,000 units. Responses are to be submitted electronically in PDF format within 30 days of the RFI release, unclassified, to the technical points of contact (Mike Hughes and Frank Sanchez) with the subject line “RFI: JPM CBRN IEW AVCAD Survey.” Proprietary information will be protected, but the Government will not provide feedback beyond receipt acknowledgment and may share responses with support contractors. This RFI does not constitute a solicitation; any future contract will be announced separately.
