Ground Penetrating Radar

The contract calls for the provision of a ground penetrating radar (GPR) system designed to integrate smoothly with external Bluetooth-enabled GPS devices, featuring a built-in GPS pole adapter. The system must support Map Mode for tracking the operator’s movements and producing a bird’s-eye view of the survey area. It is required to place APWA color-coded marks on both 2D data and geo-referenced maps simultaneously, while also being capable of collecting and generating 3D scans. To maintain reliable communication between the tablet and the antenna in environments where Wi-Fi is unavailable, a rugged Ethernet cable is mandated. Both the GPR and tablet devices must have an IP65 rating to ensure resistance against rain, dust, and extreme temperatures ranging from -20°C (-4°F) to 40°C (104°F). This solicitation, issued by the Department of Defense’s FA5682 31 Cons unit, is identified under the solicitation number FA5682GroundPenetratingRDR and classified under NAICS code 334519. The place of performance is Aviano, Pordenone, Italy, with a response deadline set for May 29, 2026. The contract type is sources-sought, with no set-aside restrictions applied. Primary contact for the opportunity is Francesca Corazzin, with Melissa Maurhart serving as the Contracting Officer. The equipment procured under this contract is intended to meet stringent operational and environmental requirements for military or government survey applications.
