VAPOUR GENERATOR

The Department of the Army, specifically the MICC-Dugway Proving Ground, has issued a combined synopsis/solicitation under solicitation number W911626QA022 for a specialized vapor generator. This mission-critical procurement supports the SMART SEED Innovation Award project and requires a system capable of producing highly regulated, low-concentration chemical vapor outputs to characterize the sensitivity and response time of NDSI electronic vapor sensors. The equipment must meet a testing threshold for agent vapor at ultra-low concentrations of 10 parts per billion (ppb) under variable temperature and humidity conditions.

The required vapor generator must include specific components to facilitate chemical agent testing, such as a corrosive gas upgrade to protect internal components, a diffusion tube, diffusion tube membranes and gaskets, and a permeation tube kit. These features are necessary for Dugway Proving Ground to validate sensor algorithms and performance data. The procurement is classified under NAICS 334516 for Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing and PSC 6630 for Chemical Analysis Instruments.

This solicitation has no set-aside designation and is managed by point of contact Jeremy MacDougall. Responses are due by June 8, 2026, for performance located in Utah. The notice includes four attachments published on June 1, 2026: a Scope of Work, Evaluation Criteria, the formal Solicitation, and Evaluation Factors.
