About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Academy issued a Notice of Intent to sole source four high-performance quantum scalar magnetometers from FieldLine Industries, with a capability-statement response deadline of July 13, 2026 at 10:00 AM MDT. This is a Total Small Business set-aside under FAR Part 12. The Air Force conducted extensive market research, including a prior Sources Sought notice, and determined that FieldLine Industries is the only manufacturer capable of meeting the Government's strict technical requirements. The required magnetometers must feature an optically pumped atomic vapor cell, scalar measurement mode, sensitivity better than 1 pT/Hz in the sub-picotesla range, frequency response from DC to at least 500 Hz, a compact sensor head not exceeding 20 mm × 20 mm × 40 mm and weighing no more than 19 grams, and a modular Electronic Control Unit with real-time digital signal processing. Alternative commercial products cannot achieve the critical combination of sub-picotesla sensitivity while maintaining a sensor head weight of 19 grams or less. The Air Force invites responsible sources to submit capability statements for future consideration, though this is not a competitive procurement. An ombudsman, James Anderson (james.anderson.72@us.af.mil, 719-333-2074), is available to address concerns from interested parties.
