About this IDV
The Department of the Army awarded a single-award indefinite delivery contract to Chemring Sensors And Electronic Systems, Inc. on June 29, 2026, for full rate production of the Joint Biological Tactical Detection System (JBTDS), with a contract ceiling of $48.8 million and ultimate completion date of June 28, 2029. This is a sole-source award with no set-aside.
Work is performed in Charlotte, North Carolina. The JBTDS is a militarized, tactical, lightweight biological surveillance system designed for rapid detection and identification of biological warfare agents in chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) environments, offering force protection across peacetime and contingency operations. The production contract encompasses detector/collector units, identifier modules, data stations, quality assurance, testing, and logistics support for the modular system components.
The contract operates on a thirty-six-month base ordering period. The Department of the Army issued the sole-source notice on March 11, 2026, citing JBTDS as a mission-critical capability fulfilling a validated joint requirement for interoperable tactical-level biological detection across military services and representing the only such system currently available.
A $36.3 million firm-fixed-price delivery order was issued under this IDIQ on the same award date (June 29, 2026) to Chemring for JBTDS full rate production, with performance at Charlotte, North Carolina and completion scheduled for March 29, 2028.
