Rapid Capability Request: Protecting Allied Facilities from CBRN Threats

The North Carolina Military Business Center (NCMBC) is supporting an UNCLASSIFIED capability search from the Homeland Defense and Security Information Analysis Center (HDIAC) to identify existing chemical, biological, and radiological physical protection solutions that can help allied military command and control facilities and installations, particularly in Europe.

UNCLASSIFIED only:
Please do not include CUI, proprietary-only details, export-controlled information, or anything sensitive. Publicly shareable capability descriptions are sufficient.

What we are looking for (all categories):

  • Detection of CBRN and toxic industrial chemicals
  • Protection, especially CBRN-rated HVAC filters or pre-filters, facility protection, and related mitigation approaches
  • Alerting and integration, including integrated warning systems for on-site personnel and local first responders, plus C2 and system integration where applicable
  • Radiological detection and protection solutions

Threats of primary interest (examples provided by the tasking agency):

  • Nerve agents: G-series (Sarin, Tabun, Soman), V-series, A-series (Novichok)
  • Blister agents: Mustard agents, Lewisite
  • Choking agents: Chlorine, Phosgene/Diphosgene
  • Blood agents: Hydrogen Cyanide, Cyanogen Chloride, Arsine
  • Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs): Chlorine, Ammonia, Phosgene
  • Radiological threats: Cs-137, Co-60, Sr-90, Ir-192, Pu-238, Pu-239, Am-241
  • If your solution covers additional threats, include them.

What we need from you:
Please submit a one page Quad Chart (PDF preferred, PPT also acceptable) that includes:

  • Organization name and primary point of contact (name, email, phone)
  • Capability summary (what it does in plain language)
  • Category tags: Detection, Protection, Alerting/Integration, Radiological
  • Threat coverage (which agents or categories you address)
  • Maturity and availability (fielded, commercially available, prototype, lab validated; TRL if known)
  • Key differentiators (what makes it effective or deployable)
  • Deployment considerations (power needs if known, indoor/outdoor, fixed/mobile, integration interfaces, sustainment)
  • Any certifications/standards (if applicable) and any constraints (ITAR/export, training required, etc.)
