The Department of the Army, through the Army Contracting Command - Aberdeen Proving Ground (ACC-APG), has issued a sources sought notice for the Multispectral Screening Obscuration Module (SOM). Managed by the Joint Product Manager for CBRN Layered Effects, the program seeks to identify industry capabilities for a modular, man-portable, and ground-emplaced system intended for both mounted and dismounted use. The primary objective is to acquire a capability that generates a multi-spectral obscurant cloud to enhance the survivability of joint warfighters in chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear contested environments.
The government is evaluating a range of potential solutions, including existing commercial products, modified systems, or the rapid development of new technologies and obscurant materials. This market research effort assesses industry readiness to develop, test, and manufacture these modules according to specific technical performance targets. The opportunity is identified under solicitation number W911SR-26-R-MSOM and is classified under NAICS 332993, Ammunition (except Small Arms) Manufacturing, and PSC 1040, Chemical Weapons and Equipment. There is no set-aside designated for this requirement.
Responses are due by May 29, 2026, and the primary point of contact is Jessica R. Green-Farley. The anticipated place of performance is Gunpowder, Maryland. Three attachments have been provided as part of this notice, including the initial RFI document and two iterations of consolidated industry questions and answers updated on May 21 and May 27, 2026.
