Field-Deployable Geophysical Sensing Integration

The contract seeks to adapt quantum sensor technology for field-deployable geophysical applications, specifically targeting subsurface imaging and environmental monitoring in challenging electromagnetic environments. The goal is to develop robust systems capable of operating effectively amid high levels of electromagnetic noise, which traditionally interfere with conventional sensing methods. This effort emphasizes practical deployment, requiring solutions that are portable, reliable, and adaptable to real-world field conditions without sacrificing precision or sensitivity. The work is to be performed in Los Alamos, New Mexico, under a subcontract awarded by Triad, the Department of Energy’s contractor. The solicitation, classified under NAICS code 541620 for scientific research and development services, is open for responses until December 23, 2026. While no set-aside provisions or specific point of contact are indicated, the focus remains on advancing quantum sensing capabilities for government-led geophysical missions, with an emphasis on enabling new forms of subsurface data collection in complex and noisy operational settings.
