EMG Sensor Hardware Design and Fabrication

The contract calls for the design and fabrication of ruggedized, man-portable electromyographic sensors capable of detecting signals at picotesla-level sensitivity, targeting military and field operational environments where extreme durability and high precision are critical. The sensors must integrate dipole antennas and ferrite cores to enhance signal acquisition and noise rejection, paired with dual-channel differential receivers to ensure accurate, artifact-free measurement of physiological signals under challenging electromagnetic conditions. The hardware must be lightweight, field-deployable, and engineered for continuous use by personnel in dynamic, uncontrolled settings without degradation in performance. The project is structured as a subcontract under the Department of Defense’s W2R2 USA Engr R & D Ctr, with a North American Industry Classification System code of 334511 indicating focus on measuring and controlling device manufacturing. The solicitation was posted on April 24, 2026, with responses due by May 11, 2026, at 5:00 PM, leaving a narrow window for qualified vendors to submit proposals. The place of performance and point of contact details are unspecified, suggesting that the deliverables may be distributed across multiple facilities or require significant in-house development. No set-aside provisions are indicated, making the opportunity open to all eligible contractors with the technical capability to meet the stringent sensor specifications.
