Description

SYNOPSIS: This Sources Sought Announcement is to assist the Joint Project Manager for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Protection (JPM CBRN Protection) for planning purposes only to identify potential additional sources of CBRN protective hand and wrist protective gloves and/or glove systems.

REQUIREMENTS: The purpose of this RFI is to solicit information on the current availabili...
