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

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ERDC is issuing a Sources‑Sought RFI for an Electro‑Magnetic Gradiometer Sensing System Hardware (EMG‑SSH) device. Respondents must review the attached draft Description of Requirement (DOR) and submit (1) complete contact information—including company name, address, point‑of‑contact name, title, email, phone, CAGE code, primary NAICS (334519), business size (large or small ≤ 600 employees), SAM registration status, and website—and (2) written answers to three technical capability questions confirming the ability to (a) fabricate the described instrumentation, (b) develop and provide software for instrument operation and GPS/EM data storage, and (c) procure all required peripheral components (tablet, GPS, stand‑alone computer, etc.). A capabilities statement describing fabrication experience, prior work with radio‑frequency electromagnetic sensing for subsurface characterization, and relevant contract history must also be included, along with any applicable socio‑economic certifications (8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, Small Disadvantaged Business, etc.). All responses are due no later than 12:00 PM CST on 12 June 2026 and must be emailed to Janalyn H. Dement (Janalyn.H.Dement@usace.army.mil); questions must be submitted in writing to the same address.
