About this opportunity

The United States Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center - Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory requires one Luminar Iris LiDAR Sensor to validate computational models developed for autonomous vehicle sensor technologies under an Army Reimbursable for Robotic and Autonomous Systems project. This is a brand name procurement under FAR 13.501, as the specific Luminar Iris model is necessary to collect real-world data that will verify and validate previously developed computational models. The sensor must meet specific technical requirements including electrical specifications of 9-16V or 18-32V with approximately 25W power consumption and a 250-meter range capability. The award will be made to the lowest-priced technically acceptable offer, and all proposals must be submitted to the specified USACE email addresses with "Luminar Iris Lidar Sensor" in the subject line. The response deadline is September 24, 2025, just six days after the posting date of September 18, 2025.

This procurement has no set-aside designation and is open to all qualified contractors. No specific award values are disclosed in the solicitation documents, though the pricing schedule indicates delivery is required within seven weeks after order. The quantity is limited to one unit of the Luminar Iris LiDAR Sensor, reflecting the specific validation testing requirements of the research project. Performance will take place in Vicksburg, Mississippi, where the Engineer Research and Development Center is located. Potential offerors must be actively registered in the System for Award Management with no active exclusions and must include their SAM CAGE code and UEI with their quotation submissions.

Notice text

The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Engineer Research and Development Center – Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory (GSL) has a requirement for a Luminar LiDAR Sensor Purchase. ERDC intends to award a purchase order on a brand name basis in accordance with FAR 13.501. This is not a set-aside of any kind.

Market research indicates that Luminar Lidar Sensor is the brand name equipment for this procurement as Sensor models for a Luminar Iris lidar were already created using computational methods as required by an Army Reimbursable for Robotic and Autonomous Systems. For computational models to be considered trustworthy, those models must be validated with physical testing comparisons. A physical Luminar Iris lidar needs to be acquired to collect real-world data that will provide validation and verification requirements for the computationally-developed model.  

This is a Brand Name Requirement IAW FAR 13.501(a)(2).

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial products or commercial services prepared in accordance with the format in FAR subpart 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. Proposals are being requested at this time. No other formal solicitation will be issued.

Offerors shall include a quote with sufficient description and pricing to evaluate compliance with the requirements of the attached solicitation and description of requirements. An award will be made to the offer with the lowest priced technically acceptable offer. 

Provide a response to: CHL-CT-QUOTES@usace.army.mil and Angela.Holcomb@usace.army.mil 

All responses must include Luminar Iris Lidar Sensor in the subject line of the response.

Note:  In order to be eligible for award of a Government contract, vendors must be actively registered in the System for Award Management (SAM), have no active exclusions, and complete FAR and DFARS registrations. Please include SAM CAGE code and UEI with any quotation submitted. For more information, review the SAM website at https://www.sam.gov
