W6QK Acc-Apg · MD 21010
W6QK Acc-Apg in the United States is inviting bids for “RFI JPM CBRN SOF Seeking Advanced Radiological Identification Systems (ARIS)”. Bids close on 5 October 2026. Reference: W911SR-JPM-CBRN-SOF-ARIS-2026.
The work
Seeking Advanced Radiological Identification Systems (ARIS) that can rapidly and accurately detect, locate, and identify radiological isotopes in real time.
- Systems must rapidly and accurately detect, locate, and identify radiological isotopes in real time with the ability to discriminate between Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM), legitimate medical/industrial, and potential isotopic threats.
- Systems must demonstrate high sensitivity and a low false-alarm rate in varied environmental conditions.
- The system must be durable and reliable. Preference will be given to technologies that have obtained or are designed to meet military standards for environmental testing (e.g., MIL-STD-810)
- Standoff detection capabilities (minimum 5 meters)
- Candidate technologies must be mature and readily available for near-term procurement (within 12 months)
- Domestic Manufacturing (Made in America): To comply with federal policies, the proposed system and its critical components must be manufactured within the United States.
