Request for Information: CPE CBRND Seeking Miniature Sensing Elements for Chemical and Biological Threat Detection

The United States Government (USG) is seeking information on miniature sensing elements for chemical and biological threat detection. The Capability Program Executive for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense (CPE CBRND) is looking for innovative solutions that can meet the requirements of miniaturized sensing elements, transduction mechanisms, and integrated components. The ideal responses should include technical descriptions, summaries of relevant experience, estimated timelines, and sustainment considerations. • The CPE CBRND is focused on surveying current industry capabilities in the development, testing, and manufacturing of miniature sensing elements. • The JPM CBRN IEW team provides integrated early warning capability by bringing together products in the portfolio with robotics and autonomous systems, decision support tools, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. • Reference document CCDC CBC-TR-1689 provides additional context for this effort. • Technologies must meet the requirements of miniaturized sensing elements, transduction mechanisms, and integrated components.
