RFI JPM CBRN SOF Seeking Advanced Radiological Identification Systems (ARIS)

The U.S. Army’s CPE CBRND Joint Project Manager for CBRN Special Operations Forces is conducting a market‑research RFI to identify mature commercial‑off‑the‑shelf (COTS) or government‑off‑the‑shelf (GOTS) radiological identification systems that can be rapidly fielded to SOF units. Respondents must provide detailed technical, performance, manufacturing, and logistical data on detectors capable of real‑time isotope identification, low false‑alarm rates, MIL‑STD‑810 ruggedization, and U.S. domestic production. Information will be used to create a master list of candidate systems, from which a subset will be down‑selected for laboratory testing and an Industry Day in Fall 2026. The RFI is strictly informational; no contract award is implied. Submissions are limited to ten pages and must be uploaded via the Joint Enterprise Technology Tool (JETT) by 05 Oct 2026, 4:00 PM EDT. • Target technologies: handheld, standoff, optical, or app‑based radiological detectors. • Required capabilities: real‑time isotope detection, discrimination of NORM vs threat isotopes, low false‑alarm, operation in extreme environments. • Desired form factor: low‑profile, lightweight, covert‑compatible, with at‑least 5 m standoff detection. • Maturity: TRL 7‑9 preferred; must be commercially available within 12 months. • Domestic content: critical components must be manufactured in the United States. • Submission format: ≤10 pages, PDF, uploaded to JETT; no proprietary or classified data. • Evaluation will feed into a fall 2026 Industry Day and subsequent government‑supported testing.
