SOURCES SOUGHT – REQUEST FOR INFORMATION for Electro-Magnetic Gradiometer Sensing System Hardware (EMG-SSH) Device

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) is issuing a Sources‑Sought Request for Information to assess market interest and capability for one (1) Electro‑Magnetic Gradiometer Sensing System Hardware (EMG‑SSH) device. The system must operate between 50 kHz and 750 kHz, detect signals in the picotesla range, and provide GPS‑linked subsurface conductor mapping as described in the draft Description of Requirement (DOR). Required deliverables include the complete hardware package (including a rugged laptop, tablet, GPS, and a Pelican‑type transport case), full system design drawings, assembly, operation, and software manuals, and in‑person training at the ERDC facility in Vicksburg, MS. The device must be delivered, tested, and accepted by government personnel within six months of award, with all shipping terms FOB destination; payment is contingent on successful acceptance. Respondents must submit company contact information, NAICS 334519 classification, business size and socio‑economic status, and demonstrate experience with radio‑frequency electromagnetic sensing systems, software development for instrument control and data storage, and ability to procure all peripheral components. Answers to three capability questions (fabrication of instrumentation, software development, and procurement of peripherals) are required. Responses are due by 12:00 PM CST, 11 May 2026, via email to Janalyn Dement (Janalyn.H.Dement@usace.army.mil). This RFI is for information only and does not constitute a solicitation or obligate the Government to award a contract.
