About this opportunity
The Air Force Academy is conducting market research to identify sources for commercially available high-performance quantum scalar magnetometers, with capability statements due by 10:00 AM MDT on June 30, 2026. No set-aside is anticipated. The Government seeks optically pumped magnetometers utilizing atomic vapor cells (Rubidium or Potassium) in scalar measurement mode with sensitivity better than 1 pT/Hz, DC-to-at-least-500-Hz bandwidth, integrated VCSEL-based laser excitation, compact sensor head dimensions not exceeding 20 mm × 20 mm × 40 mm, weight no more than 19 grams, modular Electronic Control Unit with real-time digital signal processing, and GPS/GNSS-synchronized multi-sensor array capability. No requirement exists for precise angular alignment with Earth's magnetic field. Only COTS products are of interest. Respondents must submit company profile, socio-economic status, technical datasheets, manufacturing status (OEM or authorized reseller certification), and Buy American Act compliance confirmation to ronald.wilson.26@us.af.mil and wanda.farr@us.af.mil. NAICS 334519 applies with a small business size standard of 600 employees; PSC is 6655 (Geophysical Instruments). An ombudsman is available; inquiries must first be directed to the contracting officer.
