Purchase of Electro-Magnetic Gradiometer Sensing System

The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) seeks a single‑source purchase of a rugged, man‑carried Electro‑Magnetic Gradiometer Sensing System (EMG‑SSH) capable of detecting picotesla‑level magnetic fields in the 50 kHz–750 kHz band for subsurface conductor mapping. The system must include a disassemblable boom, dual‑channel receiver, matched dipole antennas, rechargeable batteries, GPS, a tablet for data acquisition, and a rugged laptop for processing. All hardware, software, manuals, training, and a Pelican‑type transport case must be delivered to Vicksburg, MS, and accepted within six months of award. The contract is a 100 % small‑business set‑aside (including HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB) and will be awarded on a firm‑fixed‑price basis without discussions.
