About this award
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Research and Development Center (ERDC), Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory awarded a $151.2K firm fixed price purchase order to Western Research Institute for specialized asphalt chemistry testing services. The contract, which runs through June 3, 2030, was awarded on June 4, 2025, without a set-aside designation and will be performed in Vicksburg, Mississippi. The work involves chemical fractionation and characterization of asphalt binder samples using Saturates, Aromatics, and Resins coupled with Asphaltene Determinator (SAR-AD) analysis—a specialized testing methodology requiring significant technical expertise and accreditation.
The original solicitation, posted as a special notice on April 8, 2025, indicated the agency's intent to conduct a single-source award but opened the opportunity for capability statements from other qualified vendors through April 16, 2025. The government sought a vendor demonstrating at least five years of technical research publications in asphalt chemistry and American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) accreditation for asphalt binder testing. Western Research Institute's selection reflects the contractor's demonstrated capability to meet the Army Corps of Engineers' specialized requirements in materials characterization and support the ERDC's geotechnical and structural research mission.
