Request for Information: CPE CBRND Seeking Advanced Radiological Identification Systems THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY This RFI is issued solely for market research, information, and planning purposes – it does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP)/Request for Quote (RFQ) or a promise to issue an RFP/RFQ in the future. Solicitations are not available at this time. Requests for a solicitation will not receive a response. This notice does not constitute a commitment by the United States Government (USG) to contract for any supply or service whatsoever. All information submitted in response to this announcement is voluntary; the USG will not pay for information requested nor will it compensate any respondent for any cost incurred in developing information provided to the USG. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future RFP/RFQ, if any is issued. 1.0 BACKGROUND The Capability Program Executive for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense's (CPE CBRND) Joint Project Manager for CBRN Special Operations Forces (JPM CBRN SOF), located at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD, delivers and enables integrated, interoperable, and rapidly deployable CBRN defense capabilities for the Joint Force across Combined Joint All-Domain Operations. JPM CBRN SOF equips our nation's elite Special Operations warfighters with advanced technologies to operate safely and effectively in CBRN-contested environments worldwide. To support this mission and plan for upcoming capability enhancements, JPM CBRN SOF is conducting comprehensive market research to support a new initiative. This upcoming program represents a key effort to rapidly evaluate, procure, and field mature CBRND equipment directly to operators to meet evolving field requirements. 2.0 PURPOSE The purpose of this RFI is to conduct a comprehensive market survey to identify and analyze mature commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) and government off-the-shelf (GOTS) technologies that provide radiological identification capabilities. JPM CBRN SOF is casting a wide net across the defense, commercial, and scientific industries to discover best-of-breed solutions, and the findings from this RFI will be utilized to compile a master list of candidate systems. Working closely with our stakeholders, JPM CBRN SOF will down-select a subset of these systems to undergo government-supported claims testing, laboratory evaluation, and operator-in-the-loop experimentation. Selected systems and industry partners must be prepared to physically demonstrate and provide their technologies for operator evaluation at a virtual or in person Industry Day targeted for Fall 2026. 3.0 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS Interested parties are invited to submit information on technologies that align with the following operational parameters and high-level system characteristics: Primary Capability: Systems must rapidly and accurately detect, locate, and identify radiological isotopes in real time with the abili…
