Quick Summary
The U.S. Army, MICC-Fort Stewart, has issued a Sources Sought Notice for Real-Time Fuel Visibility Support at Fort Irwin, CA. This market research aims to identify industry capabilities for providing non-intrusive fuel monitoring sensors, associated communications hardware, and a monitoring interface to enable near real-time visibility of fuel levels across designated Government fuel assets. The government is specifically encouraging small businesses to respond to determine if this requirement can be set aside. Responses are due March 13, 2026.
Scope of Work
