- Description
- Concerns having the ability to furnish the services described herein are requested to give written notification (including the telephone number for a point of contact) to the procuring office above within 5 calendar days from the date of this synopsis. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), CGGSC, Denver, CO, has a requirement for development of a new 'line iterator' gx (Geosoft executable) module for the Geosoft Oasis Montaj proprietary software that would add the ability to easily change all map and sectional views from one data line to another without having to create new maps. Many of these basic requirements were met by under a previous procurement to Geosoft, Inc, Queens Quay East Toronto, Canada. However, it has been deemed necessary for further features and capabilities be added to the basic line iterator. The requirements: 1. Batch hardcopy tool this tool will create JPG output files of the full display, with consistent layout for all Selected lines. Options will be included to fix scale, fix range, or auto scale to fixed window sizes. 2. Digitizing Ability to digitize a line on a section view and write this digitized line to a Geosoft database (GDB) in proper 3D coordinates. 3. Add profile Views Add profile views in the integrated display window, populated from user-selected channels in the GDB. A new GX will be developed to ask for the channel and profile parameters, similar to the tools available to generate profiles in a Geosoft database. 4. Add vertical profiles Add a detailed view of vertical profiles at a single point along the line, populated from a user-specified array channel in the GDB. Click on a point in the plan view or in any section or profile view, and have the vertical profile view update to display the data at that point. 5. Add profiles and borehole data to section views Ability to add up to 2 data profiles in a section view. Ability to add borehole data in a section view (from standard Geosoft drilling databases), with drill collar labels. 6. Uncertainty indication in section views Add the ability to use transparency of grid to represent error estimate (or confidence), e.g. deeper parts of resistivity sections. Or we may look at alternative approaches to indicate the uncertainty. 7. Delivery of software modules by March 30, 2012. 8. Annual maintenance of software at no cost to USGS. 9. Technical support by email. 10. New software module shall be tested prior to each upgrade/release of Oasis Montaj to ensure that the new integrating software shall continue to function. 11. Repair of significant bugs identified by USGS personnel that prevent use of the software modules as intended is required; with one year annual maintenance. Based on information available at this time, the Government considers the specified services as sole source procurement from Geosoft, Inc, Queens Quay East Toronto, Canada, as this is Geosofts proprietary software, 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 ANNOUCEMENT IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY; NO FORMAL RFQ WILL BE AVAILABLE. This notice may represent the Government's only official notice of this procurement.
