Multi Modal Materials Analysis Service

The government authority located in Arlington, Virginia is seeking a vendor to provide a multi modal materials analysis service. This program aims to explore innovative methods to combine a single excitation source of continuously variable intensity with multiple detection methods and in-situ data fusion. The agency is trying to solve the problem of assessing features such as a sample's composition, origin, production method, processing location, and other signatures of interest. The scope of work requires the development of data fusion methods that can analyze data of signature streams in real time to provide in-situ adaptive feedback to modules. The project covers the analysis of the top few microns of samples, molecular structure, trace elemental composition, and isotope content. The agency requires the integration of data from a series of detection modules, signature analysis, and potentially external data sources, specifically excluding data fusion techniques that cannot integrate surface and bulk analysis methods or provide real-time adaptive feedback. Bidders must be onshore organizations from the United States to be eligible for this opportunity. The performance of the work can take place either onsite or offsite. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget for this project. All questions regarding this opportunity must be submitted no later than July 01, 2026.
