    The Department of Defense is initiating a Request for Information (RFI) for the development of a Radiological Detection System (RDS) to replace existing radiological survey meters used by various military branches. This RFI, issued by the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense, seeks respondent capabilities in developing, testing, and manufacturing an RDS that meets the specified performance criteria. The intention is to gather information rather than soliciting proposals, as no contractual obligations or costs will be incurred by the Government. Participants must review the RDS Performance Specification, marked as Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), and provide detailed information about their systems’ capabilities, technology proposals, and production capacity. The anticipated contract type is Firm Fixed Price under an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity structure, with a projected requirement for up to 16,000 units over five years. Interested parties must submit their responses by February 17, 2025, ensuring adherence to submission criteria regarding technical specifications and company information. This request lays the groundwork for future contracts aimed at enhancing radiation detection capabilities across military services and allied nations, addressing both current needs and lessons learned from past operations.
