CPE (JPEO) CBRND Funding

Focuses on chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear defense medical countermeasures.

CPE CBRND, formerly known as JPEO-CBRND, collaborates with several federal agencies and departments, both within and outside the Department of Defense.

What Does CPE CBRND Fund?

The Capability Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Defense (CPE CBRND), formerly known as JPEO-CBRND, provides non-dilutive defense funding to develop and field technologies that protect military personnel against CBRN threats.

Funding is awarded through BAAs, Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs), and Commercial Solutions Openings (CSOs) across three primary areas:

Medical countermeasures: vaccines, therapeutics, diagnostics, and casualty care for chemical and biological threats.
Integrated sensing: field-forward pathogen detection, point-of-need diagnostics, and environmental CBRN sensors.
Protection and mitigation: advanced respirators, wearable protective equipment, and autonomous decontamination systems.

CBRND Consortia & Programs We Support

Joint Enterprise Technology Tool (JETT):

Connects commercial technology developers directly with Joint Project Managers (JPMs) across IEW, Medical, Protection, and SOF to present mature capabilities and shape future program requirements .

CBRN Medical Countermeasures Platform Baseline Assessments (PBA):

Facilitates direct DoD evaluation of mature therapeutic and diagnostic candidates for potential procurement, stockpiling, and advanced development partnership .

MTEC (Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium):

Focuses on accelerating the development of medical technologies for military and civilian use.

Medical CBRN Defense Consortium (MCDC):

Created to advance development efforts to support the DoD’s medical, pharmaceutical, and diagnostic requirements as related to enhancing the mission effectiveness of military personnel.

Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Consortium (CWMD):

Created to advance development efforts to support the DoD’s ability to detect, prevent, and protect individuals and groups and enhance military readiness.

CPE CBRND Funding FAQ

What is CPE CBRND and what does it fund?

The Capability Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense (CPE CBRND) develops, acquires, and fields technologies that protect military personnel from CBRN threats, including medical countermeasures, detection systems, and protective equipment. It works with industry, academia, and government partners on these priorities. EverGlade helps organizations identify CPE CBRND opportunities and strengthen proposal content.

Who can apply for CPE CBRND funding?

CPE CBRND opportunities are available to startups, small businesses, large companies, universities, and research institutions, though eligibility varies by specific solicitation. Applicants typically respond through BAAs, consortium opportunities, or SBIR programs. EverGlade helps clients navigate these pathways from opportunity identification through award.

What is the Joint Enterprise Technology Tool (JETT)?

The Joint Enterprise Technology Tool (JETT) is an engagement platform operated under CPE CBRND (formerly JPEO-CBRND) that allows commercial biotech, defense, and hardware innovators to present mature technologies directly to Department of Defense decision-makers. Through JETT discussion sessions and capability catalogs, companies introduce medical countermeasures, sensors, diagnostics, and protective equipment to Joint Project Managers (JPMs) across IEW, Medical, Protection, and SOF to explore program alignment and shape future acquisition requirements.

Is CPE CBRND the same as JPEO-CBRND?

Yes. CPE CBRND is the new name for the former Joint Program Executive Office for CBRN Defense (JPEO-CBRND), renamed as part of Army acquisition reform. The organization continues to manage CBRN defense equipment and medical countermeasures under the Portfolio Acquisition Executive for Layered Protection and CBRND. EverGlade helps companies identify CPE CBRND funding opportunities and develop proposals aligned with its defense priorities.
