The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) seeks to acquire the Emesent Hovermap ST handheld mapping system to enhance geospatial data collection for mission planning and operational awareness. The aim is to replace traditional, cumbersome 3D point cloud models with more manageable 3D textured mesh models, suitable for environments with limited connectivity, such as indoors or underground. Required components include a lidar system integrated with an RGB camera, data processing software, and various accessories, all adhering to specified performance metrics such as weight, battery life, range, and scanning speed. The selection process involves a review by technical experts who will evaluate vendor submissions for clarity and compliance with these specifications. Notably, a warranty covering equipment defects for at least 12 months is mandatory. Vendors must ensure proper delivery and invoicing to the specified ERDC address. This request illustrates the Corps' commitment to improving tactical mapping capabilities through modern technology.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ERDC is seeking a handheld lidar system with an integrated RGB camera, specifically the Emesent Hovermap ST, to enhance geospatial data collection for mission planning and situational awareness in various environments. The system must meet specific technical requirements, including a weight limit of 5 lbs, a battery life exceeding 5 hours, and the capability to function in GPS-denied areas. Vendors are required to provide detailed quotes demonstrating compliance with these specifications and a minimum 12-month warranty for equipment malfunctions.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is issuing a Request for Quote (RFQ) for the Emesent Hovermap ST handheld mapping sensor, aimed at enhancing geospatial data collection for mission planning and situational awareness. This acquisition is 100% set aside for small businesses and falls under the NAICS code 334511. The requirement emphasizes a brand-name product, specifying various components such as the Hovermap ST lidar system, a 360° camera kit, and a magnetic vehicle mount, along with detailed specifications regarding performance standards like weight, battery life, range, and data export capabilities. Quotes must meet all outlined requirements to be considered. The selection will be based on the lowest price that is technically acceptable. The solicitation underscores the need for a warranty covering equipment defects for a minimum of 12 months. Vendors are encouraged to provide clear and complete quotes by the due date to facilitate the evaluation process without potential discussions. This effort is part of ERDC's Local-scale Integrated Mapping of Buildings project, which aims to produce simplified 3D models suitable for low-connectivity environments.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is requesting quotes for an Emesent Hovermap ST Hand-held Mapping Sensor as part of a project to enhance geospatial data collection and situational awareness in challenging environments. This solicitation is set aside for small businesses and requires submissions that meet detailed specifications for hardware and software components, with quotes due by 09 September 2024. The selection will be based on the lowest price technically acceptable, with a focus on compliance with provided specifications and warranty conditions.

The document addresses questions concerning specifications and errors related to a government RFP for drone-based mapping technologies. The primary focus is an inquiry about the requirement for an "Autonomous SLAM based LiDAR Mapping" system, which was linked to a more advanced and costly version of the Hovermap ST system. The response clarified that this specification has been omitted from the updated document of requirements (DOR). Additionally, it noted the correction of typographical errors identified in the product descriptions; specifically, the misspelling of "Emesent" and "Hovermap" in the DOR and Bidding Schedule. Overall, the document serves as a clarification tool for potential bidders, ensuring accuracy and alignment with the intended specifications for the procurement process. This emphasis on clarity and corrections underscores the importance of precise documentation in government procurement activities.
