About this award
The United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service (USDA ARS) awarded a $56,850 firm fixed-price purchase order to Veris Technologies, Inc., a small disadvantaged business, for an automated soil sensor probe with UTV-mounted skid capabilities. The contract, awarded on February 26, 2026, with an ultimate completion date of May 26, 2026, fulfills a solicitation issued by the Southeast Area for specialized agricultural research equipment. The probe must simultaneously measure four critical soil parameters—organic matter or total soil carbon, penetration resistance, apparent electrical conductivity, and dielectric permittivity for water content determination—to a minimum depth of 12 inches, with geo-referenced data collection capabilities and compatibility with commercial software packages. Delivery is required to the Genetics & Sustainable Agriculture Research Unit at Mississippi State University.
This procurement carries no small business set-aside designation and was awarded under unrestricted competition to the lowest-priced technically acceptable offeror. Veris Technologies, a for-profit subchapter S corporation headquartered in the agricultural technology sector, demonstrated relevant past performance through prior USDA ARS contracts for soil sensor systems and tractor-mounted probe equipment, positioning the company as well-suited to deliver the specialized instrumentation required for the agency's soil research initiatives. The contract supports the USDA's broader mission of advancing agricultural sustainability and research capability through innovative soil monitoring technology.
