Opportunity description

Stored from SAM.gov public data

The Department of War (DoW), Portfolio Management Executive for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense (PME CBRND), Joint Project Manager for CBRN Special Operations Forces (JPM CBRN SOF) is seeking information, design concepts, and mature technology capabilities for a Tactical Aircraft Interior Decontamination Dispersal System. The goal of this initiative is to identify or evaluate a mature, rapidly deployable, and highly reliable hardware applicator system capable of delivering fine-aerosol, dry-fog, or gaseous decontaminants uniformly throughout military aircraft interiors without damaging sensitive electronics. Key Technical Parameters & Scope: Dispersal Mechanics: Must disperse a fine aerosol/dry fog with a Volume Median Diameter (VMD) of less than 10 microns (Threshold) or a gas-phase molecular dispersion less than 0.001 microns (Objective) to maximize surface coverage without wetting, pooling, or dripping. Tactical Mobility & Footprint: Must fit securely within a Polaris MRZR cargo bed with a stowed envelope not exceeding 42" H x 18" D x 18" W (Threshold), with a target envelope under 30" H x 14" D x 16" W (Objective) to allow upright walk-through clearance in CH-47 and CV-22 cabins. System Weight: Empty chassis weight must be ? 150 lbs (Threshold) for a 4-man lift, with a target empty weight of ? 100 lbs (Objective) for a 2-man lift. Fully loaded weight with maximum consumables must not exceed 500 lbs. Power Flexibility: Operable from standard single-phase 110-120 VAC (50/60 Hz), commercial/tactical generators ? 6 kW, or vehicle auxiliary 28 VDC (Threshold), with a target capability to interface directly with utility and flight-line power IAW MIL-STD-704 (Objective). Employment Versatility: Must support two primary delivery modes: Internal cabin placement on medium/heavy aircraft (CH-47, CV-22, C-130) and external ducting/pumping into constrained cockpits (AH/MH-6 Little Bird). Material Compatibility: All wetted paths, seals, pumps, and nozzles must demonstrate broad chemical compatibility with existing and emerging USG-standard decontaminants, including aqueous hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$), modified amine/ammonia solutions, Dahlgren Decon, and JGPD. System Modularity: Complete operational system must consist of 5 or fewer major items (Threshold), with a target of a single, all-in-one consolidated chassis (Objective) containing integrated internal stowage for all cords, hoses, and nozzles. Technology Maturity: The core dispersal technology must be at a demonstrated Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6 or higher in a relevant operating environment to support near-term military evaluation and procurement.

GOVBIDFIT SCREENING LENS

What deserves attention before you spend bid time

Decision support

These screening signals are generated from the public notice fields stored for this specific opportunity. They are not eligibility findings or predictions; they are prompts for a faster, more disciplined review of the official solicitation.

Market-research stage

This notice appears to be market research rather than a conventional bid invitation. A capability response, technical feedback or evidence of market interest may matter more than a price proposal at this stage.

Planning window available

The stored response date leaves more than ten days, but amendments and pre-response milestones can shorten the usable preparation window.

Eligibility gate recorded

No Set aside used is recorded as the set-aside or restriction. Confirm the bidding entity actually satisfies the applicable program and size requirements before investing proposal time.

Classification signal

PSC 4230 is the recorded classification. Use it as a screening clue, then compare the actual scope and deliverables rather than treating the code alone as proof of fit.

Official description stored

GovBidFit stores the source notice text, but its length does not prove the requirements are complete. Review official attachments, clauses, amendments and Q&A before relying on the description.

Public buyer contact available

The source data includes 2 public contracting contacts. Use the solicitation's stated communication rules and deadlines before contacting the buyer.

Questions to resolve next

Has SAM.gov posted an amendment or changed the response date, attachments or submission instructions since this GovBidFit snapshot was refreshed?Does the notice request a capability statement, technical response, questions, pricing input, or another specific market-research response?Are there question deadlines, site visits, registrations or internal approvals that occur before the final response date?Does the bidding entity hold the required current status for the recorded set-aside and the solicitation's assigned NAICS size standard?Can the business perform in Maryland at a sustainable cost after travel, mobilization, staffing, licensing and subcontractor requirements are considered?

What this opportunity record tells you

SAM.gov identifies this as a sources sought from DEPT OF DEFENSE. The record was posted on October 27, 2026 and currently lists November 24, 2026 as the response deadline. GovBidFit keeps source facts separate from its matching guidance so you can see what comes from the federal notice.

The listed product or service classification is PSC 4230. The set-aside field is No Set aside used. These fields help narrow your search, but they do not replace the full solicitation, amendments, attachments, clauses or eligibility language on the official source.

Before deciding to bid

Read the complete official description and scope. Verify the exact response date, time and time zone on SAM.gov. Confirm NAICS/PSC and every set-aside eligibility requirement. Review attachments, amendments, Q&A and submission instructions. Check place of performance, staffing, insurance, bonding and execution requirements.
