About this award
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Engineer Research and Development Center awarded a $2.97 million firm fixed-price definitive contract to Lehigh University on September 15, 2025, for research and development under BAA 24-0005. The project, titled "Improved Multi-Sensor Multi-Wavelength Microwave Estimation of Snow Mass & Snow Melt Timing for Environment, Hydrology, and Mobility," will be performed at Lehigh University's Fountain Hill, Pennsylvania location and is scheduled for completion by September 14, 2029. This non-set-aside contract arose from the ERDC's continuously open broad agency announcement posted in December 2023, which solicits innovative research proposals across multiple technical domains including hydraulics, geotechnical engineering, vehicle mobility, environmental processes, and materials science. The proposed research directly supports the ERDC's mission to advance environmental and hydrological understanding critical to military operations and civil infrastructure.
Lehigh University, a private research institution headquartered in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, brings extensive federal research capabilities to this effort. The university's Office of Research has established a strong track record executing complex contracts for the Department of Defense, Department of Navy, and other federal agencies in areas spanning optical engineering, resilience design, and advanced materials science. The snow mass and melt timing estimation research aligns with the ERDC's investment in environmental processes and vehicle mobility applications, supporting both climate-related research priorities and operational requirements across the Army's geographic footprint. No subcontractor information was provided in the award documentation.
