Description

Request for Information: CPE CBRND Seeking Advanced Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry 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. The Capability Program Executive for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense's (CPE CBRND) Joint Project Manager for CBRN Integrated Early Warning (JPM CBRN IEW), located at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD, is conducting market research to identify advanced analyzers and instruments capable of replacing existing chemical and biological detection equipment within a Mobile Laboratory environment. The purpose of this RFI is to gather information on state-of-the-art technologies in a bench-top configuration that can serve as replacements for current Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GCMS) systems. Responses to this RFI are requested no later than Friday, 8 May 2026 REQUIREMENTS: The desired GCMS system must meet the following capabilities: Rapid Detection and Identification : Ability to quickly detect and identify chemical warfare agents (CWA), toxic industrial chemicals (TIC), and toxic industrial materials (TIM)” - (note the ability to collect and analyze samples in vapor, solid, liquid, and [suspended] aerosol forms of matter – spanning high volatility [e.g. hydrogen cyanide] and low volatility [VX]) Complex Sample Analysis : Capable of analyzing and detecting targets within complex environmental samples, including solids, liquids, and aerosols. Sensitivity and Specificity : High sensitivity and specificity for accurate identification. Quantification : Ability to quantify the concentration of agents or compounds present. Batch Processing : Support for batch analysis capabilities. Auto Calibration : Automated calibration functionality. Operating System Compatibility : Must be compatible with Windows 10 or newer operating systems. Longevity : Supportable for a minimum of seven (7) years. REQUESTED INFORMATION JPM CBRN IEW requests that respondents submit an information paper addressing the following questionnaire: Describe the product's technical capabilities, including the range of conditions in which it can operate. How is the product supported and maintained? Describe the company's capabilities and manufacturing readiness level (MRL…
