- Description
- Concerns having the ability to furnish the equipment described herein are requested to give written notification (including the telephone number for a point of contact) to the procuring office above within 10 calendar days from the date of the announcement. The USGS, Texas Water Science Center, is requesting the purchase of an IP upgrade to the IRIS Syscal Pro which includes an external transmitter for injecting a known current into the subsurface and a firmware upgrade to a currently owned IRIS Syscal Pro unit so that IP data can be collected. IP is a geophysical method that uses a current to polarize objects in the subsurface. The unit then measures the rate at which it takes for these objects to return to static conditions. This technique could be used to lacate metallic objects as well as clay lenses. The transmitter and firmware upgrade must be fully compatible with an IRIS Syscal Pro DC resistivity unit. Based on information at this time, the government considers this equipment as a sole source from Heritage Geophysics and proposes to negotiate a contract with the firm on that basis. However, should additional sources be identified, they will be considered. Firms who feel that they can furnish the required equipment 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, request for such documents without accompanying information will be considered non-responsive to this request without further consideration. This notice may represent the Governments only official notice of the procurement.
