About this award
The Department of Agriculture awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order to Medusa Radiometrics B.V. on September 30, 2026, for a Gamma Radiation Soil Scanner system valued at $55,965.00.
The requirement is a vehicle-mountable scintillation-based gamma-ray spectrometer capable of mobile operation up to 45 km/h with real-time radionuclide analysis (K-40, U-238, Th-232, and Cs-137). The scanner must weigh no more than 12 kg, operate across temperatures from -20 to 65 degrees Celsius, include a multi-constellation GNSS receiver compatible with RTK corrections, operate on 9-35V input with power consumption not exceeding 6 watts, and output data in JSON, NMEA, and CSV formats with 16GB internal storage. The system must generate 335 data points per acre while mapping soil layers to at least 15 centimeters depth. The scanner will support fine-scale digital soil mapping at the Long-Term Agroecosystem research site in Riesel, Texas.
Performance runs through January 28, 2027, with delivery required within 90 days of award and 30 days of initial setup support included. Place of performance is listed as the Netherlands. The procurement was sole-source to Medusa Radiometrics B.V., justified on the basis that only this vendor's system can scan soil properties through existing vegetation without soil-to-sensor contact or plant disturbance.
