Under this IDIQ, Government Scientific Source Inc. has received several firm-fixed-price delivery orders for a variety of scientific equipment and supplies, including gloveboxes, concrete planer bio equipment, BTD 120L filters, thermal desorbers, spray dryers, and laboratory instruments like gas chromatographs, mass spectrometers, and centrifuges. The delivery orders range from $40,947 to over $2.7 million and support the JPEO CBRND's mission of providing CBRN defense capabilities to the warfighter. The contract has a period of performance through July 2025 and is being managed by the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command.
The original solicitation sought COTS equipment in categories such as personal protective equipment, detection and identification systems, decontamination equipment, and emerging CBRN threat mitigation capabilities. The IDIQ contract aims to enable the JPEO CBRND and its clients, which include the Department of Defense, other federal agencies, and state/local governments, to rapidly acquire specialized scientific and technical products to support their CBRN defense programs and research activities. The small business set-aside aligns with the JPEO CBRND's efforts to engage the small business community in providing innovative solutions for chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear defense missions.
