The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Research and Development Center (ERDC), Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory (GSL) intends to issue a sole source award to Stancills, Inc. (CAGE Code: 3FKG8) to procure 250 tons of engineered soil for numerous projects in the areas of Underbody Blast (UBB) research. Soil type and placement conditions are critical factors when conducting Underbody Blast (UBB) experiments. One of the most prevalent challenges presented within this testing community is how to conduct a UBB test that can be replicated in a series of test schedules performed in another geographic region. Soil is among the most critical variables affecting UBB test results because soil types and conditions are constantly varied from one location to the next. Conducting a UBB experiment on a repeated basis proves to be a significant challenge unless Engineered Soil (ERS) can be procured. ERS refers to any soil material that meets a series of
