The AVCAD will detect, identify, alarm, and report the presence of foreign variants of aerosol and vapor chemical hazards. The AVCAD will also include a wireless remote alarm capability.

The AVCAD will operate in both dismounted and mounted configurations (a portable system capable of detecting and identifying vapor and aerosol chemical hazards to meet AVCAD requirements). The U.S. Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps will use the AVCAD to conduct or support their missions. These missions include monitoring, collective protection, base defense, decontamination, unmasking, dismounted reconnaissance, mounted reconnaissance (on the Stryker Nuclear Biological Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle (NBCRV)), shipboard (replacing the current shipboard chemical detection system), and aviation (CH-47 Chinook, OH-60 Blackhawk, and CH-72 platforms for surveillance and survey of cargo and personnel). The objective of this effort is to procure XM12 AVCADs for EMD. The contract requirements for the XM12 AVCADs include EMD Government testing, program and logistic support, and delivery of technical data (end-item products, software, and logistics). The anticipated contract will be for ten years, consisting of twenty seven (27) months EMD, twenty one (21) months LRIP, and six (6) years FRP.

The acquisition will be a negotiated, best-value procurement using the Contracting by Negotiation process prescribed in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15. The source selection process to be utilized for this acquisition is best value/trade-off method. The submission requirements and evaluation criteria will be defined in the solicitation. More information about source selection will be listed under Section L and Section M of the solicitation.
