This federal contract award to the University of Florida (UF) Division of Sponsored Research, valued at $97,908.48, was issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Humphreys Engineer Center Support Activity (VPUSACEHEC-A) for a project titled "PHYSICS-BASED PREDICTION OF UNEXPLODED ORDINANCE PENETRATION INTO GRANULAR MATERIALS." The contract is a firm-fixed-price purchase order without a set-aside designation, indicating UF was able to compete for and win the award based on its strong research capabilities. The work is scheduled for completion by November 15, 2018. UF is a major research institution that frequently partners with federal agencies, including the Department of Defense, on a wide range of research and development initiatives through both contract and grant awards. This particular contract appears to be focused on advancing the understanding of unexploded ordnance behavior in granular materials, which could have important applications for military operations and explosive ordnance disposal.
