Quick Summary
The Department of the Army, W6QM MICC-DUGWAY PROV GRD, is seeking a Vapor Generator for the SMART SEED Innovation Award project. This procurement is mission-critical for characterizing the sensitivity and response time of NDSI electronic vapor sensors by providing highly regulated, low concentration chemical vapor output. Responses are due by June 8, 2026.
Scope of Work
The required vapor generator must demonstrate the ability to meet a specific testing matrix, with a threshold of agent vapor and an objective to test at ultra-low concentrations (10 ppb). It is essential for accurately characterizing sensor performance under variable temperature and humidity conditions. The procurement specifically requires:
- A corrosive gas upgrade to prevent damage to internal components from corrosive chemical agents and simulants.
- A diffusion tube, diffusion tube membranes and gaskets, and a permeation tube kit.
