- Description
- Concerns having the ability to furnish the services and supplies described herein are requested to give written notification (including telephone number for a point of contact) to the procuring office above within 45 days from the date of this synopsis. The U.S. Geological Survey, GD, CICT, Denver, CO, has a requirement to test electric-field sensors in USGS aircraft. The requirement is to adapt, install and flight test electric-field sensors in a USGS owned fixed-wing aircraft. The combined magnetic and electric-field measurements can possibly be used to measure the earth's subsurface electrical resistivity and thus its electrical conductivity. Subsurface electrical conductivity is a fundamental physical property of the earth and is of great importance in geological and hydrological subsurface investigations. The exact specifications for the 3-axis magnetic and electric field component sensor have been set by the Department of Defense, and the vendor needs the appropriate clearances from DOD to support the required supplies and service. The Government has a definite requirement for testing these sensors on a fixed-wing aircraft with an option to adapt and install the sensors on a helicopter platform. Based on information available at this time, and in accordance with 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1), implemented by FAR 5.302-1, the Government considers the supplies and services specified as a sole source from Quantum Applied Science and Research, 5764 Pacific Center Blvd, San Diego, CA, and proposes to negotiate a contract with that firm on that basis. However, should additional sources be identified, they will be considered. Firms who feel that they can furnish the required supplies and services are invited to submit in writing an affirmative response to this announcement, and such other materials which correspond to the required items stated herein. This information will be evaluated and used to determine if competitive opportunities exist. Since no solicitation document exists, requests for such documents without accompanying information will be considered non-responsive to this request without further consideration. This notice may represent the Government's only official notice of this procurement. See Note 22.
