This contract was awarded by the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to conduct field testing of advanced pipeline sensors for natural gas pipelines. The $100,000.00 firm fixed-price purchase order contract will support NETL's efforts to validate its fiber optic sensor technologies for monitoring corrosion, temperature, strain, vibration, pressure, and humidity in natural gas pipelines. The contract is not set aside and is based on SwRI's Multiphase Flow Facility being the only known facility capable of meeting NETL's requirements for simulating pipeline conditions and validating the sensor technologies. SwRI is an independent, non-profit research and development organization with extensive experience supporting government agencies through contracts and grants across a range of scientific and engineering disciplines.
