- Description
- The U.S. Geological Survey, Western Coastal and Marine Geology Team (USGS) has a requirement for marine seismic reflection profile data offshore the western United States. WesternGeco, a major geophysical contractor based in Houston, Texas, holds large quantities of marine geophysical seismic reflection profile data acquired over the past 30 years offshore western United States within the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone. These data are of diminishing commercial value, and the company has offered to transfer the data to the USGS for the cost of conversion to modern media. These data were acquired by WesternGeco and are the sole property of that company. Given the costs of original acquisition and processing, the re-acquisition of these data is out of the question. Furthermore, these data have particular value because modern environmental concerns would significantly increase the cost of reacquisition. The data consist of several components (digital files and associated paper records), and as the owner and manager of these data, WesternGeco is uniquely qualified to organize all of the components for delivery. Therefore, the Government intends to award this requirement noncompetitively IAW FAR 13.106-1(b)(2) to WesternGeco. Other interested concerns having the ability to furnish comparable data shall submit a capabilities statement to the Contracting Officer no later than the closing date of this announcement. All submissions will be evaluated to determine if competitive opportunities exist. This is NOT an RFQ; no written solicitation will be issued. This may represent the Government's only written notice of this procurement. This notice and any resulting contract or order conforms to the requirements in place through FAC 2005-12, effective 04 August 2006. For further information, please contact the Contracting Officer at (916) 278-9341 or jcaravelli@usgs.gov.
