Description

The Government has a requirement to develop automated test equipment (ATE) and calibration instrumentation (standards) in the biological agent defense parameter to the fullest extent possible. The Government requires the development, test, evaluation, and training of engineering prototypes to support emerging gaps in calibration capability with high stability and accuracy. The Government has a requirement to develop biological detection calibration capability to work with the modernized calibration sets and meet current and future biological detection calibration and repair requirements. The Biosensor Calibrator is a calibration standard for fielded and future DoD biological warfare agent sensors that use laser induced fluorescence (LIF) technology. The Joint Biological Point Detection System (JBPDS) and the Joint Biological Tactical Detection System (JBTDS) are examples of currently fielded items that this calibration standard will support. The Government has an urgent need to develop an engineering prototype of a Biosensor Calibrator capable of producing positive identification of aerosolized, surface, and human surrogate pathogen contamination samples. The prototype must be capable of passing all performance parameters with accuracy traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and to transfer those accuracies to the Joint Force field biodetectors. The Contractor shall design, acquire, implement, test, deliver, and support the integration of robust sensing chips and a high-throughput (HT) and multiplex Biosensor Calibrator and the associated documentation as specified. DISCLAIMER THIS SOURCES SOUGHT IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) TO BE SUBMITTED. IT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A SOLICITATION AND SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT. RESPONSES IN ANY FORM ARE NOT OFFERS AND THE GOVERNMENT IS UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO AWARD A CONTRACT AS A RESULT OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. NO FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE TO PAY FOR PREPARATION OF RESPONSES TO THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. ANY INFORMATION SUBMITTED BY RESPONDENTS TO THIS TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION IS STRICTLY VOLUNTARY.
