About this opportunity

The U.S. Army's Combat Capabilities Development Command, Chemical Biological Center (DEVCOM CBC) is seeking a qualified contractor to provide labor support, supervisory support, materials, tools, and equipment to develop state-of-the-art semi-autonomous standoff Deep Ultraviolet (DUV) Raman Systems. The first two systems should be capable of operating at 262 nm, while the additional two systems should operate below 250 nm. The objective is to address the Army's challenge in detecting large and small quantities of chemicals at standoff distances greater than 2 meters to enhance situational awareness. Respondents are asked to indicate their interest, provide a capabilities statement, and submit any questions or feedback by the May 30, 2024 due date. This opportunity is being issued under the Basic, Applied, and Advanced Research in Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 12.630) managed by the Department of the Army Materiel Command.

The funding for this effort is provided under the Basic, Applied, and Advanced Research in Science and Engineering federal grant program, which supports research in various scientific fields to contribute to Department of Defense missions. While the available budget is not specified, the RFI requests information on the development of four DUV Raman systems, with the first two operating at 262 nm and the remaining two below 250 nm. The systems must have on-board data processing, a standoff range of at least 1 meter, and a weight of no more than 10 pounds.

Synopsis

DEVCOM CBC requires a capable and qualified company to provide labor support, supervisory support, materials, tools, and equipment to develop state-of-the-art semi-autonomous standoff DUV Raman Systems. The first two (2) systems should be capable of operating at 262 nm. The additional two (2) systems should be capable of operating below 250nm.

The U.S. Army currently has a challenge to detect large and small quantities of chemicals solids and liquids) at standoff distances greater than two (2) meters on ground and surfaces to enhance avoidance and situational awareness of a chemically hazard environment. The Army is gathering data to determine Industry's ability to address this capability gap and determine the effectiveness deployment upon successful technological development.
