- Description
- The Bureau of Reclamation intends to award sole source procurement to Guralp Systems for the purchase of replacement digital and analog seismic strong motion earthquake recording systems; replacement/stock parts, repairs and services for equipment originally manufactured by the sole vendor. Reclamation currently owns and operates digital seismic monitoring systems manufactured by the prime vendor. The equipment is currently deployed at the Paradox Valley Seismic Network, and at Reclamation facilities dispersed throughout a 17 western state region. The Government owned equipment requires custom-designed interfaces and software to work with Reclamation's current seismic monitoring system. The contractor shall ensure full compliance with Reclamation developed special-purpose interface equipment, enclosures, and cabling in order to minimize electronic noise and improve data quality requirements. The contractor shall provide any required interfaces and data formats, so as to fully integrate with Reclamation 's current or future developed special-purpose software that currently integrates all contractor equipment into its seismic data acquisition system. The contractor retains sole proprietary rights to software integrated in the equipment, and will not outsource repair and servicing of their equipment due to proprietary software issues. A Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition has been prepared in support of this acquisition. Firms believing they can provide similar requirements must provide supporting evidence to that effect in sufficient detail to demonstrate the respondent's ability to meet the stated requirement. This is not a request for competitive quotes. All responses received within 7 calendar days of the date of publication of this notice will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed action based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Inquiries will only be accepted by Fax at (303) 445-6345, Attention: Ann R. Manning, Contract Specialist/Contracting Officer. Responses should include the firm's DUN and Bradstreet number (DUNS) and Tax Identification Number (TIN). Firms should identify themselves as either small business, or other than small business, in accordance with the size standard for (NAICS) Code 335999 which is 500 employees. This notice may represent the only official notice of such a solicitation.
