SECTION C: PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

TITLE: XM12 AEROSOL AND VAPOR CHEMICAL AGENT DETECTOR (AVCAD)

C.1 SCOPE.

The Joint Project Manager for Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Contamination Avoidance (JPM NBC CA) is responsible for development, production and fielding of Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) detection systems. The JPM NBC CA is conducting the Next Generation Chemical Detector (NGCD) program to fill known operational gaps in chemical detection. The NGCD 1 also known as XM12 Aerosol and Vapor Chemical Agent Detector (AVCAD), will detect traditional and advanced threat vapors and liquid and solid aerosols.

C.1.1 Background.

The NGCD program received a Milestone A decision in March 2014 to enter the Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction (TMRR) Phase. The JPM NBC CA awarded three (3) contracts to develop and conduct CWA chamber testing with prototypes and the results are promising for the continuation of the program into the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase.

C.1.2 Objective.

The objective of this contract is to procure XM12 AVCADs for EMD. Requirements include EMD Government testing, program and logistic support, and delivery of technical data (end-item products, software, and logistics). It also includes options for Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP), and Full Rate Production (FRP) – and subsequent documentation updates, test and fielding support.
