Contaminated Human Remains System

The Contaminated Human Remains System (CHRS) is a Category III Major Capability Acquisition (MCA) program within the Department of Defense. Operating under Acquisition Plan (AP) designation, this program represents a specialized initiative within the defense acquisition framework, though specific operational details about the system's purpose and capabilities are not explicitly detailed in the available documentation.

The program's recent contract activity centers on the Palomar Secure Communications Systems (SCS) 3.0 sustainment effort, executed through delivery orders under a $44.5 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract. The U.S. Air Force Materiel Command's Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex serves as the primary contracting authority, with Palomar Products, Inc. operating as the prime contractor. Two significant delivery orders have been issued: one for $4.6 million awarded in March 2023, and another for $2.5 million scheduled for June 2024. Both orders feature firm-fixed pricing and extend through June 16, 2028. The contracts focus on electronic components and sustainment services for military communications systems, with no small business set-aside designations applied to these awards.
