About this file
This document is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the U.S. Army Contracting Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground seeking market research on electrochemiluminescence (ECL) multiplex assay kits for microbial toxin identification. The government requires consumable kits capable of detecting at least three specific toxins (Ricin, Botulinum, and Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B) with specific technical requirements, including compatibility with Meso Scale Diagnostics (MSD) PR2 1800 and/or SQ 120 analyzers and support for government-furnished antibodies.
Interested firms must submit a comprehensive response by 5:00 PM EDT on January 16, 2026, via electronic submission to the designated contracting officers (Jemel Hogan and Sarah Eggerling). The response, limited to 5 pages, should include company details, technical capabilities, product information, manufacturing readiness, production rates, and compatibility confirmations. This RFI is strictly for market research purposes, and the government will not award a contract based on the responses, nor will it reimburse companies for response preparation costs.
