About this award

The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation awarded a delivery order valued at $549.9K to Herox, PBC on November 19, 2025, to support the "Detecting Subsurface Cracks in Embankments Competition." Herox, a Dover, Delaware-based crowdsourcing and open innovation platform company, will leverage its expertise in engaging external innovators to generate solutions for this infrastructure challenge. The delivery order, with a firm fixed-price structure and completion deadline of December 31, 2026, is not designated with a small business set-aside. This task order is issued under the NASA Open Innovation Services 3 (NOIS3) Government-Wide Acquisition Contract, a $474.9M multiple-award vehicle that enables federal agencies beyond NASA to procure crowdsourcing and open innovation services through Herox's platform.

Herox's selection for this effort reflects the company's proven track record of successfully executing innovation competitions and challenges for federal agencies, primarily through its longstanding partnership with NASA's Johnson Space Center. The NOIS3 contract provides the government with access to Herox's crowd-based problem-solving methodologies, including challenges, prize competitions, and other innovative approaches. By utilizing this delivery order, the Bureau of Reclamation can tap into external expertise and creative solutions to address the technical challenge of detecting subsurface cracks in embankments, leveraging the broader government contracting vehicle rather than a direct sole-source award.
