The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Research and Development Center (ERDC) is planning to issue a sole source contract to Stancills, Inc. for the procurement of 250 tons of engineered soil material essential for Underbody Blast (UBB) research projects. The engineered soil must meet specific geotechnical specifications critical for conducting replicable UBB experiments, as variations in soil types significantly impact test results. This procurement is vital for the continuation of the Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory's mission, and interested vendors may submit capability statements to Jennifer Hoben at Jennifer.Hoben@usace.army.mil by 1:00 PM CST on November 22, 2024, for consideration in determining whether a competitive procurement will be conducted.
