Army Contracting Command-Redstone Arsenal, through Corpus Christi Army Depot, is conducting market research by Request for Information for a Handheld Spectrometer, with responses due November 6, 2026 at 12:00 PM CDT. The RFI states that it is for planning purposes only and does not commit the government to issue a solicitation or award a contract. The notice uses no set-aside. Responses go by email to Edward Chilson (edward.a.chilson.civ@army.mil) in MS Word or Adobe PDF format. Respondents should state small business status and any socio-economic concerns (HUBZone, service-disabled veteran-owned, women-owned, and others), and state whether pricing is offered through GSA or the open market. The government will not pay for responses, will issue no evaluation results or notifications, and will post future solicitations on the Army Single Face to Industry (ASFI) website. Proprietary information must be clearly marked.
The attached draft salient characteristics, as summarized in the government file, describe an X-ray fluorescence analytical instrument with an 8-50kV X-ray tube, a silicon drift detector, a removable lithium-ion battery with minimum 14.4 volt capacity, and a Linux operating system.
