TSC strong motion monitoring equipment

The Bureau of Reclamation is conducting market research for strong motion monitoring equipment to support seismic monitoring at Reclamation facilities, with responses due by July 17, 2026. No set-aside is anticipated. The procurement is classified under NAICS 334513 (Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing) with a 750-employee size standard. The Government actively seeks small business participation, including 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, HUBzone, and Women-Owned concerns.

The Bureau seeks ten accelerographs (Titan SMA model), ten accelerometers (Titan model), and ten digitizers (Centaur model). The equipment records and analyzes ground motions from earthquakes to quantify peak ground accelerations, inform dam safety protocols, and provide waveform data for structural analysis, numerical model verification, and attenuation property evaluation. All equipment must integrate with the existing Strong Motion Monitoring Program Realtime Data Acquisition System.

Responses must address offeror experience, manufacturing capability, teaming arrangements, portion of work capable of performance, and anticipated challenges. Technical specifications covering sensor characteristics, digitizer capabilities, power requirements, environmental ratings, and included accessories are provided in the sources-sought synopsis.

Submissions are due to Aubrie Watson, Contract Specialist, at aubrielle_watson@ios.doi.gov no later than 4:00 PM MDT on July 17, 2026. This is market research only; responses do not guarantee future awards, and the Government assumes no financial responsibility for response preparation costs.
