About this opportunity
The Department of Homeland Security's Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD) Office is seeking industry partners to conduct a comprehensive 12-month research and development study focusing on biodetection and bioidentification timeliness metrics. The primary objective is to develop and evaluate processes for measuring the effectiveness and speed of detection and response capabilities against potential intentional biothreat releases. Key study requirements include analyzing timelines between biothreat events and consequences, developing universal confidence metrics, and demonstrating methodological approaches across different pathogens and operational environments. Vendors must submit 10-page responses in Calibri font with 1-inch margins, including detailed company information, GSA contract numbers, capabilities, relevant experience, and proposed timelines. The response deadline is January 13, 2025, with submissions to be directed to Kevin Schwertfeger (Contract Specialist) and Darnell Griffin (Contracting Officer).
The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designations for this opportunity, which falls under NAICS category 54171 for Research and Development in Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences. The procurement is classified under PSC category AJ12 for General Science and Technology R&D Services, specifically applied research. While no specific award value is mentioned, the study requires comprehensive analysis of federal response asset deployment timelines, examination of sample types and longevity, and investigation of logistical factors affecting biothreat characterization. Potential vendors should be prepared to demonstrate capabilities in scientific research, biothreat analysis, and complex systems evaluation. The RFI explicitly states that it does not constitute a commitment to issue a future Request for Proposal (RFP), and all response costs will be borne by the participating vendors.
