This is a Request for Information (RFI) only for market research, not a solicitation, seeking industry capabilities for developing, testing, and manufacturing miniature sensing elements for chemical and biological threat detection. The focus is on miniaturized class-based sensing elements that can operate in urban and battlefield environments, with transduction mechanisms that meet strict size, complexity, cost, and power constraints, and that use scalable ASIC manufacturing techniques. Responses are requested by Wednesday, June 17, 2026. The effort is led by the Joint Project Manager for CBRN Integrated Early Warning to provide integrated early warning capabilities using robotics, AI, and decision support tools. Ideal responses should include white papers with technical descriptions, feasibility, timelines, scalability, sustainment strategies, and cost drivers.

This is a Request for Information (RFI) for market research only and does not constitute a formal solicitation. The Capability Program Executive for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense is surveying industry capabilities for the development, testing, and manufacturing of miniature sensing elements for chemical and biological threat detection. The required technologies must involve miniaturized sensing elements for threat agents, suitable transduction mechanisms, and scalable ASIC manufacturing methods. Responses to this RFI are requested no later than Wednesday, June 17, 2026. Interested parties should provide white papers and technical details covering design feasibility, operational readiness, and sustainment strategies.
