F--VAMMS Unit design Optimization of vehicle add-on m

The Environmental Protection Agency’s Tribal & Science Division Water is seeking proposals to optimize the design of a vehicle add-on mobile smoke monitoring system under solicitation number 68HERW26R0072. This effort, identified by NAICS code 541620, aims to enhance the functionality, efficiency, and deployment capabilities of the VAMMS unit for real-time smoke detection and analysis during environmental incidents. Proposals must be submitted by August 13, 2026, at 4:00 PM Eastern Time, with the solicitation posted on July 30, 2026. The work is to be performed in support of the EPA’s broader environmental monitoring mission, with the primary point of contact being Kasual Sharp at the agency’s office in Cincinnati, Ohio. The contract is open to all eligible entities without specific set-asides, and responses should address technical innovation, system integration, durability under field conditions, and the ability to provide accurate, timely smoke data from mobile platforms. All communication and submissions must be directed through the designated point of contact, and interested parties are encouraged to review the official solicitation on SAM.gov for detailed technical requirements and evaluation criteria. The success of this project hinges on delivering a scalable, reliable, and cost-effective upgrade to existing monitoring capabilities that aligns with federal environmental response protocols.
