The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Kansas City District (NWK), is conducting market research to identify qualified, capable, and interested parties—capable of delivering a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) pipe crawling inspection system.

The system will be utilized for the internal inspection of non-sanitary municipal and civil infrastructure. Access will typically be gained via standard infrastructure access points, including:

1. Standard access manholes


2. Drainage flap gates


3. Mechanical access points

The inspection system must be a modular, steerable, wheel-driven unit capable of adjusting to varying pipe sizes, lengths, and construction materials.

Interested parties who meet the technical capabilities are requested to submit a response containing the following information,

• Company Legal Name


• Point of Contact (POC) Name / Title


• Phone Number & Email Address


• Unique Entity ID (UEI)


• CAGE Code


• SAM.gov Registration Status
