Quick Summary
The Department of the Army's Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Test and Evaluation Office (TEO) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to identify technologies for its Technology Experimentation and Characterization Field Trials (TECFT) 2026 event. This event, scheduled for November 2-13, 2026, at the Savannah River National Laboratory in Aiken, SC, aims to generate critical technical data for Chem, Bio, and Rad Defense technologies. Responses are due by March 6, 2026.
Purpose & Scope
The TECFT 2026 event is designed to facilitate the progression of commercial, non-traditional, and traditional Department of War (DoW) technologies into fieldable systems. It focuses on generating critical technical data in the Sense, Protect, and Decontamination capability areas within the CBRN defense domains. Key goals include:
- Generating Critical Technical Data: Supporting the advancement of technologies by providing essential performance data.
- Independent Referee: Offering objective data collection and daily feedback to participants.
- Cost-Sharing Model: Reducing financial burden to encourage broader industry participation.
- Operationally Relevant Environments: Providing a concentrated foliage and humid environment for testing in 2026.
Participating teams will have the opportunity to collect critical technical data using a test-fix-test paradigm to characterize their technologies' performance.
Submission Details
All submissions must be made through the Joint Enterprise Technology Tool (JETT) portal. Interested parties should:
- Visit the JETT homepage and select "respond to an RFI."
- Complete the contact form, ensuring "TECFT 2026" is entered in the "RFI#" field.
