Timeline
    Description

    The US Army is seeking information on chemical/biological protective liners and barriers for the modernization of Collective Protection materials, ahead of an upcoming Innovation Day on 9 October 2024. The Army aims to procure PFAS-free materials, as emerging regulations have impacted the availability of traditional protective textiles. This market research is a crucial step in identifying potential suppliers for the development of these specialized textiles, which are essential for the Army's Collective Protection systems.

    Interested parties are invited to respond with details of their capabilities and are encouraged to attend the Innovation Day for further discussion. Registration is required for the event, and additional information can be found on the Joint Enterprise Technology Tool website. The Army's preference is for commercially available or developmental fabric composites that meet the specified protection requirements while remaining lightweight. Responses must be submitted by 8 November 2024, with contact details provided for further inquiries.
