Key Details
Official Description
USSOCOM seeks a field-deployable capability to enable detection, discrimination, and triangulation of dangerous or restricted materials without direct sampling, physical breach, or active signal emission. As a part of this feasibility study, the proposers shall address all viable overall system design options with respective specifications to provide SOF elements with real-time awareness of concealed threats, explosives, advanced weapon systems (e.g., Man-portable Air-defense system (MANPADS), o...
Change History
Advanced Stand-Off Detection of Concealed Materials (ASDCM)
Status changed from Open to Closed after topic disappearance
Advanced Stand-Off Detection of Concealed Materials (ASDCM)
**One new Q&A added:** Q1 clarifies CMMC requirements—Level 2 self-assessments (not third-party certification) must be completed prior to award. The previous Q&A on biological platforms, feasibility documentation, unmanned systems scope, and TAK/ATAK integration was renumbered to Q2 with no substantive changes.

Status changed from Pre-Release to Open
Advanced Stand-Off Detection of Concealed Materials (ASDCM)
Updated answers to existing Q&A: (1) Biological platforms explicitly out of scope; (2) Feasibility study guidance redirected to official BAA/SBA policy documents; (3) TAK/ATAK integration desired; open format acceptable with transition plan required; (4) Emphasis on lightweight, dismounted LPI/LPD capability for operators.
Advanced Stand-Off Detection of Concealed Materials (ASDCM)
This Q&A clarifies that applicants must consult official DoD SBIR/STTR BAA, USSOCOM-specific instructions, and SBA policy documents for guidance on feasibility documentation and Direct-to-Phase II requirements, rather than relying on this forum for definitive compliance answers.
