Phase I proposals are due by December 7, 2021 and will involve up to 18 months of controlled environment prototype development and testing for up to three proposals. Phase II may provide open water testing for one Phase I contractor as a four-month option period. Proposals will be evaluated based on technical approach, staffing, and experience.
There is no set-aside designation. The solicitation falls under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and PSC code J019 (Emergency Management). Phase I awards of up to $300,000 are expected to be issued in February/March 2022 with Phase II open water testing to take place in the United States. Citizenship restrictions apply.
