Precision Federal is pursuing opportunities in the CBDP
Precision Federal is actively pursuing opportunities in the Department of Defense's Chemical and Biological Defense Program (CBDP) across SBIR Open Topics, Specific Topics, JPEO-CBRND program-of-record integration, and DTRA-funded awards. CBDP is the DoD-wide program of record responsible for chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) defense for U.S. forces, with a budget that has run in the ~$1.3B–$1.7B range across recent fiscal years. Software, ML, and data layers are an increasingly central share of that portfolio as biosurveillance, sensor fusion, decision support, and medical countermeasure analytics move to the front of the requirements stack.
Precision Delivery Federal LLC (UEI Y2JVCZXT9HP5, CAGE 1AYQ0, NAICS 541512) is SAM-registered, DSIP-active, and holds an approved DD Form 2345 (Joint Certification Program), which makes the firm an eligible recipient of export-controlled technical data. Led by a Kaggle Top 200 data scientist with production federal ML delivery at a federal health agency, we engage CBDP directly on Phase I Open Topics, with partner firms joining where a program-of-record scope needs CBRN domain depth. Founder's prior federal delivery — federal health-agency ML through ATO, federal health IT data platform, multi-agency cloud migration — maps directly to the workflow-routing, governance, and deployment-discipline gaps most commonly identified on CBRN performer teams.
How CBDP funding actually works
CBDP is structurally distinct from standard DoD service-component buying. Three things to internalize:
- Three-legged governance — the program is shaped by the Joint Requirements Office (JRO) for warfighter requirements, executed by the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense (JPEO-CBRND) for acquisition, with significant science and technology oversight from DTRA and medical-countermeasure execution coordinated with the Defense Health Agency.
- SBIR component-coded as "CBD" — CBDP runs its own SBIR pipeline on DSIP, releasing topics under the CBD component code (e.g. CBD254-009 in 25.4). Topics include both Open Topics (broader, software-friendly) and Specific Topics tied to a JPEO-CBRND or DTRA program manager.
- Program-of-record integration paths — Phase II and Phase III transition typically threads through one of JPEO-CBRND's joint program offices (medical, contamination avoidance, protection, decontamination, information systems) and the supporting data backbones the office runs.
For an AI/ML small business the practical entry points are: (1) win a CBD Open Topic Phase I and demonstrate platform-portable software, (2) carry that capability into Phase II with a named program-of-record integration target, or (3) compete for DTRA and JPEO-CBRND requirements directly.
What we're pursuing: CBD Open Topics
Precision Federal watches each DoD SBIR release for CBD Open Topics where software leads: tactical chem-bio visualization, hazard classification from operator observations and simulated sensor streams, alert routing to operational roles, and decision support that renders across soldier-worn and command surfaces. Phase I Open Topics that accept software-only work and simulated or representative data are the first fit, with a path toward the Army's Soldier Borne Mission Command (SBMC) headset family and the JPEO-CBRND data backbone.
JPEO-CBRND offices we map to
JPM Contamination Avoidance (CA)
Detection, identification, sensor fusion, and alerting. Our ML and data engineering practice fits the data-side of CA: ingest from heterogeneous sensors, hazard classification with confidence scoring, and role-aware alert routing.
JPM Information Systems (IS)
The CBRN information backbone — including programs that ride on Integrated Sensor Architecture (ISA) standards and tactical interfaces such as the TAK ecosystem. This is the natural home for tactical CB visualization work.
JPM Medical Countermeasure Systems (MCS)
Medical countermeasure development, surveillance, and pharmacovigilance analytics. Our prior delivery on a federal health-agency ML system through full ATO is the closest analogue in our portfolio.
DTRA pass-through S&T
DTRA executes a substantial CBDP S&T portfolio that often pre-stages capability for JPEO-CBRND transition. We pursue DTRA-funded ML and data work directly where federal deployment discipline is the constraint.
AI and ML use cases inside CBDP
CBRN defense is a domain where qualitative intuition is dangerous and quantified, auditable ML is the right answer. The use cases we map our capability to:
- Threat detection ML — classification of toxic industrial chemicals, chemical warfare agents, biological warfare agents, and explosive-related hazards from sensor feature vectors and operator observations. Quantized models with confidence scoring and audit trails.
- Biosurveillance analytics — anomaly detection on syndromic and epidemiological feeds, supporting early warning at the population scale. Built on the same lakehouse-with-provenance discipline we used on a federal health IT data platform.
- CBRN sensor fusion — multi-sensor probabilistic fusion across chem, bio, rad, and observational inputs, with explicit handling of disagreement, drop-out, and adversarial evasion.
- Decontamination decision support — workflow-engine routing of contamination events to safety, maintenance, and watchstanding roles, with append-only audit logs and after-action reconstruction.
- Medical countermeasure ML — model-assisted analysis of safety, efficacy, and surveillance signals around CBRN medical countermeasures, paired with ATO-grade data governance.
None of these are speculative for us — they are direct derivatives of the analyst-grade ML and data platform Precision Federal's founder built and shipped on prior federal work. The CBDP-specific overlay is the CBRN domain knowledge graph, the export-controlled posture, and the integration into JPEO-CBRND's program-office data backbones.
SBIR pathway and transition
The CBD SBIR component sits inside the larger DoD SBIR cycle and runs both Open Topics and Specific Topics. For a SAM-registered AI small business the pathway looks like this:
- Phase I Open Topic — typically $250K over ~6 months, software-only welcome, simulated data acceptable. Lowest barrier to a first DoD contract.
- Phase I Specific Topic — tied to a named JPEO-CBRND or DTRA program manager. Tighter scope, higher fit cost, but a faster Phase II hand-off when the program office has follow-on funding lined up.
- Phase II — typically multi-year, scoped to integration with a JPEO-CBRND program of record. Requires demonstrated Phase I deliverables and an explicit integration target.
- Phase III / direct-to-program-of-record — sole-source vehicles into JPEO-CBRND program offices or IDIQ task orders. Phase III posture varies by topic and by the program office's then-current funding window.

Export-controlled posture
DD Form 2345 prepared via the JCP portal; NIST 800-171 self-assessment posture; CMMC L1/L2 path; ATO-minded delivery from day one.
DD-2345 and ITAR posture
Many CBDP topics carry export-controlled technical data and require a current DD Form 2345 (Joint Certification Program) for access to controlled solicitation attachments and downstream technical data. Precision Federal is certified under the Joint Certification Program (DD Form 2345, approved June 2026), which DLA administers through its JCP portal at public.dacs.dla.mil/jcp/ext. We treat ITAR posture as a baseline, not an afterthought — proposal volumes, code repositories, and deployment infrastructure are scoped accordingly.
Federal delivery record
Precision Federal's own federal contracts are FHWA purchase order 693JJ326P000024 ($141,370.26, September 2026 through September 2028) and CDC purchase order 75D30126P21398 ($296,250, signed September 18, 2026). Before founding the firm, Bo Peng delivered this federal work at prior employers:
- Federal health-agency ML — production ML system on federal health data, through full ATO, real users.
- Federal health IT data platform — lakehouse architecture, governance-first.
- Multi-agency cloud migration — delivered through federal contractor engagements.
For CBDP specifically we are targeting and pursuing through the CBD SBIR component and DTRA and JPEO-CBRND requirements competed directly. CBRN-domain depth comes from public-domain study, advisor outreach, and end-user engagement letters.
