Description

The US Army CECOM Acquisition Center Washington, on behalf of the Night Vision Electronic Sensors Directorate's Countermine Division, intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Quantum Magnetics in San Diego, CA, a contract for the development of a Q uadrupole Resonance Scanning Sensor. The goal of this effort is to establish the feasibility of QR technology for real-time detection of surface-laid and buried, non-metal-cased, anti-tank/anti-vehicle landmines from a moving platform. The general approa ch is to perform research and modeling, develop the basic technology hardware and software components, and integrate them on a simple mobile platform to establish basic functionality, compatibility and capability. The effort consists of two phases. During Phase 1, the contractor shall investigate the basic scientific and technological approaches to detect explosives using QR technology, especially TNT, while moving and demonstrate the performance of breadboard hardware shielded from external RFI and basic software in the laboratory. In Phase 2 the contractor shall design, fabricate and integrate brassboard hardware and software into a mobile testbed system using the results of Phase 1. The length of the proposed contract is 36 months. The statutory autho rity for other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). All requests for information must be in writing or via email to Kari Gregory, Contract Specialist, at kari.gregory@cacw.army.mil. See Note 22.
