Tender Details

This Request for Information (RFI) neither constitutes a Request for Proposal (RFP), nor does it restrict the Government from an ultimate acquisition approach. This notice should not be construed as a commitment by the Government for any purpose. The U.S. Government is not obligated to provide respondents with any type of response. All information is to be submitted at no cost or obligation to the U.S. Government. This is not a solicitation for goods or services. If such a solicitation is generated at a later date, a solicitation notice will be published. No award will be made as a result of this RFI.
Background:
While Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) teams currently utilize x-ray and other diagnostic capabilities, deployed either directly by technicians or remotely via unmanned systems (UxS), these methods have limitations. Direct deployment requires technicians to approach the suspected device closely, increasing their exposure to hazards. Remote UxS deployment can be difficult, often requiring system reconfiguration and limited maneuverability near the target.
Current systems may confirm the presence of components or hazards, but seldom determine their operational status. The ability to determine the operational status of Unexploded Explosive Ordnance (UXO) and other hazards such as Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) is one of the primary objectives of advanced diagnostic capabilities sought here. A second objective of this RFI is to identify diagnostic tools capable of operation at safe, standoff distances. Finally, though no less paramount, is the improved ability to diagnose munitions which may employ a wide range of initiation sensors and components. Such may include disturbance sensors (e.g., magnetic, seismic, infrared, acoustic), electronic timers, long wires, tripwires, and pressure plates among others.
The advanced diagnostic capabilities discussed here necessitate the need for:
