About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center issued a sole source justification notice for the award of contract W912HZ25C0045 to Oregon State University for the development of a custom X-Band Radar System. The $248,000 contract includes a 12-month base period with two 24-month option periods, and the system will be deployed at ERDC's Field Research Facility in Duck, North Carolina for littoral research applications. The justification for sole source procurement centers on the unique capabilities of OSU's radar system, which features open-source software and hardware adaptations enabling raw signal retrieval, high-resolution bathymetry, wave spectra analysis, rip current detection, and nearshore wave "digital twin" generation capabilities that are not available in commercial off-the-shelf alternatives. ERDC conducted market research and posted a notice of intent to sole source on SAM.gov from April 3-21, 2025, receiving no alternative responses, confirming that no other vendors could provide equivalent non-proprietary radar capabilities for their specialized research requirements. The contract was awarded on August 26, 2025, following FAR Part 12 commercial item procurement procedures.
