- Description
- The US Army Contracting Command-APG Belvoir Division, on behalf of the US Army Research, Development and Engineering Command, Communications and Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Center (CERDEC), Night Vision and Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD), Countermine Division, Humanitarian Demining Team is seeking sources for non-developmental handheld and man portable Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) detection technology to meet humanitarian demining requirements. The purpose of this Market Research is to identify potential sources for commercial-off-the-shelf handheld and man portable UXO detection technologies that demonstrate the potential, with possible further development, to reliably discriminate between UXO-like targets and other metal clutter, with a focus on field ready systems for humanitarian demining. The UXO detection Systems shall be capable of demonstrating some or all of the following capabilities in order of importance to the Government. 1) The system shall be handheld or man portable, 2) Detect all types of UXO small, medium and large to depths as great as ten (10) times the object diameter, 3) Detect all UXO with various shapes and orientations, 4) The system shall be able to discriminate shallow buried ferrous/non-ferrous clutter, which can be man-made or naturally occurring, from other UXO targets, 5) Capable of detecting UXO in all types of weather, terrain and soil 6) The system must be transportable, reliable, maintainable, and logistically supportable in third world UXO affected countries. All responsible sources having non-developmental systems capable of addressing the above requirements are invited to submit a White Paper, no longer than ten (10) pages, providing a description of their system and credentials. The White Paper shall include, at a minimum: 1) a description of the system and validating information supporting claims that the proposed system meets the system performance specifications, 2) test report data to include verified probability of detection (Pd), false alarm rate (FAR) and discrimination capabilities, 3) system literature, 4) system unit costs. The papers shall also include point of contact (email and phone numbers) for further Government inquiry should more information be desired, name and address of firm, and Central Contractor Registration CAGE Code. Respondents must also include information regarding 1) customary practices (including warranties, discounts, etc.), and under which commercial sales of the products are made, 2) requirements of any laws and regulations unique to the item being acquired. This is NOT a request for proposal and does not constitute any obligation by the Government to award a contract based on the findings from this survey. The Government will not reimburse interested sources or respondents to this notice, or any follow-on notice, for any costs incurred in association with this announcement or for subsequent exchanges of information. Proprietary information submitted in response to this Sources Sought shall be marked accordingly and will be protected when clearly identified as proprietary. Response to this Sources Sought should be received no later than 45 calendar days from the date of this notice. All requests for further information must be in writing and via email; telephonic requests for additional information will not be honored. You may forward request for additional information and/or responses to charlene.buduo@us.army.mil. Acknowledgement of receipt will be issued. The subject of the email message shall be : Handheld and Man-Portable UXO Detectors RFI- Your Company's Name.
