About this award

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) awarded a $5.0M firm fixed-price definitive contract to the Nevada System of Higher Education, operating as the Desert Research Institute (DRI), under Broad Agency Announcement #24-0007 titled "Exploring Emerging Sensor and Computational Technologies for Target Detection in Diverse Environmental Conditions." The contract, which carries no set-aside designation, was awarded on August 27, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of August 26, 2026, and will be performed in Reno, Nevada. This BAA solicitation, originally posted on December 29, 2023, sought research and development proposals across multiple engineering and environmental disciplines, with ERDC's continuous review process ultimately identifying DRI's capabilities in sensor technology and computational methods as responsive to the government's research objectives.

As a research arm of Nevada's higher education system, DRI brings substantial expertise in environmental characterization, technical services, and scientific research to support military and federal agency missions. The organization's track record includes soil analysis for Army Test and Evaluation Command, environmental monitoring services, and specialized technical research through multiple existing IDIQ contracts valued in the millions. This contract award aligns with ERDC's mission to advance engineering research across hydraulics, geotechnical studies, protective structures, and environmental processes, leveraging DRI's interdisciplinary research capabilities and state-of-the-art facilities to develop advanced detection technologies applicable to diverse operational environments.
