Description
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Kansas City District is conducting market research for a commercial‑off‑the‑shelf (COTS) pipe‑crawling inspection system that can operate inside non‑sanitary municipal and civil infrastructure (manholes, drainage flap gates, mechanical access points). The system must be modular, wheel‑driven, and adjustable to pipe diameters from 6 in to 48 in, with interchangeable wheel sets, an integrated lifting hook, HD pan‑and‑tilt camera, backup camera, lighting, a motor‑driven umbilical (minimum 650 ft, optional up to 1,000 ft), and a portable generator (2,500‑5,000 W, ≤71 dB). Vendors must provide NASSCO PACP‑compliant reporting software, full documentation, training, and assistance with spare‑parts sourcing, all at no additional cost beyond the purchase price. Responses are due by October 14, 2026.
• Modular, wheeled crawler adaptable to 6‑48 in pipe sizes with interchangeable wheels (rubber, spiked, stone).
• Integrated HD pan‑and‑tilt camera, backup camera, lighting, and a ≥650 ft motorized umbilical with cable protectors.
• Portable generator (2.5‑5 kW) plus full operator manuals, training, and NASSCO PACP‑compliant software; vendor must aid in spare‑part sourcing.
