    Description

    The U.S. Department of Defense seeks innovative solutions for its Joint Project Manager for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Protection (JPM CBRN Protection) program. The requirement is for transportable biocontainment, isolation, and quarantine (BIQ) systems, or components thereof, to be used across various platforms such as ships, aircraft, wheeled vehicles, and field deployable systems. These systems are crucial in preventing the spread of biological threats and addressing public health emergencies.

    Modularity, scalability, and compatibility with existing healthcare infrastructure are key attributes the government seeks, along with strict adherence to safety and quality standards. The focus is on finding deployable and sustainable solutions to contain hazardous pathogens, with the potential for multiple system applications across different platforms.

    An upcoming Innovation Day on October 9th, 2024, will provide an opportunity for interested parties to discuss their technologies and gain a deeper understanding of the government's requirements. Per the request, responses must be submitted via email to Brian Liska at brian.liska@usmc.mil by November 8th, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. EST.

    The contact email is brian.liska@usmc.mil, and further details can be found on the SAM.gov website.
