Robotic and Autonomous Construction Equipment (RA-CE)

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is conducting market research through this sources sought notice to assess commercially available remote and autonomous technologies for combat engineering missions. The primary objective is to identify solutions from original equipment manufacturers and technology providers that can retrofit or integrate with existing construction platforms, specifically medium dozers, High Mobility Engineer Excavators (HMEE), and skid steer loaders. The Army is also seeking information on site reconnaissance and surveying capabilities provided by unmanned aerial systems (UASs) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), alongside mobile or compact command and control solutions.

This requirement is identified under NAICS 541330 for Engineering Services and PSC 3895 for Miscellaneous Construction Equipment. Performance is located in Warren, Michigan, and the primary point of contact for this notice is David Berosik. One attachment, titled Autonomous Construction Equipment RFI FINAL.docx, was included with the solicitation materials at the time of publication.

Responses to solicitation number PANDTA-26-P-0000RA-CE are due by July 8, 2026. This announcement serves as an information-gathering effort to determine the current state of technology for enabling autonomous operation across the specified equipment types. No set-aside designation is currently specified for this requirement.
