The Breaching and Demolition Ground Engineer Robot (BaDGER) Sources Sought Notice outlines the government's intent to gather information from potential vendors capable of supporting the BaDGER program's production requirements. This market investigation aims to assess industry interest, identify existing commercial products, and solicit feedback on technical feasibility and program risks in preparation for a future formal Request for Proposal. The BaDGER will facilitate multi-domain operations by autonomously breaching obstacles, neutralizing explosive threats, and enhancing maneuver capabilities, thereby reducing risks to soldiers. The government seeks detailed information on companies’ capabilities, relevant experience, technical specifications, and system performance, including autonomy, cybersecurity measures, transport methods, operational characteristics, and maintenance requirements. Responses will inform future decisions for the BaDGER program, although no contract will be awarded from this notice. Interested entities must reply by May 22, 2025, and are encouraged to register in the System for Award Management.
