About this opportunity
The US Army Contracting Command-Aberdeen Proving Ground is conducting market research through a Request for Information to identify industry capabilities for developing a paper detector ticket system for chemical agent detection. The Army seeks a product similar to the current M8 Chemical Agent Detector Paper that can detect and classify G-series, V-series, H-series, and A-series chemical agents using four distinct colorimetric responses. The detector must respond to 1 microliter liquid challenges within one minute without requiring sample preparation and be reproducible at a cost below $10 for a 25-ticket booklet format. Interested companies must submit responses by 5:00 PM EDT on July 15, 2025, providing company details, business size classification, and relevant expertise in electronic format to the designated Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist. Responses are limited to five pages and will be used solely for market research purposes to understand current industrial capabilities for potential future testing programs.
This opportunity does not include any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified vendors regardless of size. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the solicitation documentation. While no specific contract value is established since this is purely a market research initiative, the cost requirement specifies that the final product must be manufacturable for less than $10 per 25-ticket booklet to meet the Army's affordability objectives. The potential performance period for any future contract resulting from this market research would span from January 2026 through July 2027, providing an 18-month timeline for development and delivery. The government has explicitly stated that no contract award will result directly from this RFI and that responding companies will not be reimbursed for any costs associated with preparing their submissions.
