This is a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (J&A) document for solicitation 47QFNA25R0001, a multiple-award IDIQ contract for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense (CBRND) commercial equipment supporting the US Army Joint Program Executive Office (JPEO).

The IDIQ has a 5-year ordering period with a $500M ceiling value and will be awarded as a small business set-aside. The scope includes brand name commercial CBRND equipment for detecting, identifying, monitoring, and protecting individuals from CBRN contamination, covering categories like personal protective equipment, chemical defense, biological defense, radiological defense, nuclear defense, toxic industrial chemicals/materials, decontamination, and situational awareness systems. The J&A justifies the brand name requirement based on JPEO-CBRND's need for proven, tested equipment that maintains interoperability and compatibility with existing systems and training. Market research from August-September 2024 showed strong small business interest, with 94% of 17 RFI respondents identifying as small businesses and 94% indicating intent to submit proposals. Nine respondents stated they could provide 75% or more of the 4,509 catalog items. The solicitation will be posted on SAM.gov and GSA eBuy under NAICS code 334519.
