Added: Nov 04, 2009 1:23 pm The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has a requirement to design a compact prototype system for a man portable, stand-off or Remote Explosives Detector, suitable for field testing, based on a NRL developed infrared photo-thermal breadboard system. The system shall retain and advance the functionality of the breadboard unit, while reducing the size, weight, and power. The resulting system will be designed to be operated by an end user in a field environment. It is anticipated that only one award will result from this procurement for a final prototype design and an option for building and testing the designed prototype. The anticipated period of performance is 5 months for the final design and an additional 6 months for the option.



NRL uses Electronic Commerce (EC) to issue Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and amendments to RFPs. Paper copies of the RFP will not be provided. The actual closing date for proposals will be stated in the solicitation when issued. All responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency.
