- Description
- Concerns having the ability to furnish the supplies and services described herein are requested to give written notification (including the telephone number for a point of contact) to the procuring office above within 14 calendar days from the date of this synopsis. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Geologic Hazards Team, has a requirement for the services of an experienced geologist to assist in the completion of a quaternary fault map and report on assessing seismic hazards in Afghanistan. The compilation of known or suspected faults that have moved during Quaternary time in Afghanistan is a critical component in completion of this continuing assessment, which was started in 2005. This requires unique knowledge and experience using remote-sensing imagery to evaluate geologic evidence of Quaternary tectonism and faulting in the Afghanistan-Pakistan regions of southern Asia. Contractor will be required to map and document the evidence of Quaternary faulting in designated parts of the country, using satellite imagery, remote sensing data, geological maps, and SRTM topographic data. Extensive knowledge of and familiarity with the visual inspection and analysis of various types of imagery, including Landsat, Shuttle Radar, Averis, and conventional aerial photography is also required. 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 specified supplies and services as a sole source procurement from Ruleman Geosurvey, 30533 Hilltop Drive, Evergreen, Colorado, 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.
