Biological Containment Isolation System (BCIS)
The U.S. Army seeks prototype solutions for a modular, field-installable kit to convert an existing USAF tent shelter into a negative-pressure, multi-patient isolation system for managing High Consequence Infectious Diseases. The required system must achieve a negative pressure differential of -2.5 Pa, at least 12 air changes per hour, and 99.97% filtration efficiency for 0.3-micron particles. An on-site equipment viewing of the shelter is scheduled for June 30, 2026, at Fort Detrick, MD, with access restricted to U.S. Citizens only. The acquisition uses a two-step process, beginning with a Solution Brief package that includes a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) cost estimate. No specific budget amount is provided, and the submission deadline for the initial Solution Briefs is not included here.
