About this agency

The Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center Joint PEO Chemical and Biological Defense, a sub-agency of the U.S. Army within the Department of Defense, procures protective equipment, diagnostic systems, and related capabilities for chemical and biological defense operations across the Army enterprise.

The Center has awarded 2,890 federal contracts since 1996, with a combined potential value of $112.64 billion and $88.74 billion obligated to date. Contract activity has slowed noticeably in recent years: the Center issued 146 awards in 2023, 103 in 2024, 101 in 2025, 41 year-to-date in 2026, and 1 most recently recorded award in 2027. The competitive base is fragmented across 692 distinct prime contractors over the portfolio lifetime. Among the top five primes by award count over the last five years, Avon Protection Systems Incorporated leads with 44 awards valued at $61.4 million combined potential, followed by Biofire Defense LLC with 42 awards and $14.6 million, and Mountain Horse LLC with 25 awards and $27.2 million; these five primes account for 26 percent of recent awards. When ranked by potential value, Readyone Industries Inc. emerges as the top performer with 5 awards worth $83.9 million, followed by Avon Protection Systems at $61.4 million and Cepheid at $44.3 million across 6 awards. The vast majority of contract awards carry no set-aside designation: 84 percent are unrestricted, 13 percent are small-business set-asides, and the remaining 3 percent are scattered across 8(a), SDVOSB, and WOSB designations.

The Center has also executed 18 federal grants since 2014, obligating $395.4 million in federal dollars across 18 distinct recipients. Grant activity is sporadic and dormant: 1 award in 2014, 3 in 2015, 3 in 2021, and 11 in 2022, with no recorded grants since August 2022. Recipients are highly concentrated by federal dollars: the top five recipients account for 57 percent of obligated federal dollars, led by Par Sterile Products, LLC ($57.1 million), Global Life Sciences Solutions USA LLC ($56.6 million), and Exela Pharma Sciences LLC ($40.4 million). The grant portfolio is dominated by Cooperative Agreements (14 awards, 78 percent) with a smaller allocation to Project Grants (4 awards, 22 percent).

No recent contract opportunities or grant opportunities are recorded against the agency or its descendant offices.
