Market Research for Man-Portable Multi-Phase Chemical Sampling Analysis (MPCSA) Systems

The Department of the Army, through the Army Contracting Command - Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG), is conducting market research for the Joint Project Manager Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Integrated Early Warning (JPM CBRN IEW) program regarding man-portable Multi-Phase Chemical Sampling Analysis (MPCSA) systems. - Government Buyer: - Department of the Army, Army Contracting Command - Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG) - Joint Project Manager Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Integrated Early Warning (JPM CBRN IEW) - Products/Services Requested: - Man-portable Multi-Phase Chemical Sampling Analysis (MPCSA) system - Capable of identifying and classifying known and unknown liquid, solid, vapor, and aerosol chemical hazards - Quantifies low-level vapor and aerosol hazards - Volume: 1.5 cubic feet or less; Weight: 40 pounds or less (including batteries) - Processes at least 20 samples per hour - Network connectivity: TCP/IP, 802.11, ethernet (RJ-45), USB-C - Limited consumables; continuous operation on host/fixed-site power; 4 hours on DoD batteries - Includes manuals and training materials - Prototype production capability targeted by 3QFY27 - Quantities for market research: 10, 50, 100, and 200 units per year - Unique/Notable Requirements: - High sensitivity for chemical warfare agents and toxic industrial chemicals - Must be suitable for tactical environments (post-attack monitoring, base defense, decontamination assurance, demasking, dismounted reconnaissance, field confirmatory analysis) - Emphasis on technical and manufacturing readiness, and cost information - No specific OEMs or vendors are named in the notice - No part numbers provided

Description

The JPM CBRN IEW has requirements that may result in full rate production and deployment of MPCSAs in tactical environments worldwide. The Government requires a man-portable system capable of identifying and classifying known and unknown liquid, solid, vapor and aerosol chemical hazards and quantifying low-level vapor and aerosol hazards to meet MPCSA's requirements. The MPCSA will operate in a dismounted configuration. The Department of War will use MPCSAs to conduct and/or support their missions. These missions include post-attack monitoring, base defense, decontamination assurance, demasking, dismounted reconnaissance, and field confirmatory chemical analysis in forward operating locations. JPM CBRN IEW is updating market research from both Government and industry to ensure technical readiness and manufacturing readiness information of available capabilities is current and accurate.
