About this file

The document is a Statement of Work (SOW) for a portable handheld mass spectrometer. The vendor shall provide a portable handheld mass spectrometer with various sampling attachments and capabilities, including detecting and identifying a range of chemical warfare agents, pharmaceuticals, narcotics, and other substances. Key requirements include the ability to provide rapid trace detection, simultaneous vapor and aerosol monitoring, quantitative analysis of chemical warfare agents, and multi-phase detection capabilities. The instrument must also meet specific size, battery life, operating temperature, and environmental rating requirements, and include a minimum one-year manufacturer warranty.

The related federal contract opportunity is a Sources Sought/Request for Information (SS/RFI) for the 908 Devices MX908 Handheld Mass Spectrometer, issued by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). The Government is conducting market research to identify small businesses capable of satisfying the requirement outlined in the attached SOW document. Interested parties must provide information on their company, relevant capabilities and experience, potential teaming arrangements, and any risks or unknowns that could impact their ability to meet the requirements.
