Description

**RFI ExTENDED TO 31 MAY 2024**



SYNOPSIS: This Sources Sought Announcement is to assist the US Army DEVCOM Soldier Center to identify potential sources to provide the availability and associated specifications on Elastomeric Half-Mask Respirators (EHMRs) that protect against biological threats.



The Government requests that responses be submitted electronically to DEVCOM Soldier Center via e-mail ONLY to mary.k.prebensen.civ@army.mil and thomas.w.kloehn.civ@army.mil by May 31, 2024 by 5pm EST.



Background: During COVID-19, the DoD relied heavily on PPE for non-medical personnel. The DoD used PPE and other non-pharmaceutical interventions to continue operations in contaminated environments for over a year, and shifted to relying on vaccines once they became broadly available. The Government (JPEO-CBRND) is in the need of a solution to address the issue that low burden respiratory protection systems do not exist for military operations.



Description: This effort seeks to evaluate EHMRs that would provide respiratory protection against biological agents while minimizing physical and physiological burden and increasing Warfighter lethality. This effort does not seek assault/riot respirator-like systems.



Specific Specifications:

Must achieve an overall fit factor of more than 100 for most users (i.e., prevent inward leakage of more than 1% of 0.5-1μm particles in practice, and/or meeting N100/P100 respirator standards). Must have apparent fit and apparent loss of fit (i.e., leakage into the mask will be obvious to the user after donning). User-performed seal checks should be easy to execute and should detect a fit factor below 100 in more than 90% of cases. Must remain comfortable for long-term use in physical working environments (i.e., high comfort ratings, little-to-no irritation on face and skin, no headaches, and no other common negative responses from prolonged use). Must be simple to don and decontamina...
