Joint Service General Protective Masks M50, M51, and M53A1

The Army Contracting Command – Warren (ACC-WRN) is conducting market research to identify industry capabilities for manufacturing and supplying spare components for the Joint Service General Protective Mask (JSGPM) family. This notice covers the M50, M51, M53, and M53A1 mask systems, which are essential chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) defense equipment. The Army is evaluating a potential five-year requirements contract for fiscal years 2027 through 2031. A key factor in this procurement is that the government does not currently own a complete Technical Data Package (TDP) for these systems. As a result, the Army is seeking information on whether potential sources can meet performance specifications EA-M-10003, EA-M-10034, and EA-M-10006B without government-furnished technical data. This research will help determine if competition is viable for requirements currently supported by the incumbent, Avon Protection Systems. The attachment package includes specific National Stock Numbers (NSNs) and nomenclatures for the required systems and components. ACC-WRN has issued an RFI to identify sources for manufacturing the JSGPM family of systems, including M50, M51, M53, and M53A1 masks and spares. The government is looking at a five-year contract term from FY27 to FY31. Support for a multi-year requirements contract covering Fiscal Years 2027 through 2031, managed under the Chemical/Biological Defense (CBD) Product Support Integration Directorate (PSID).
