- Description
- This notice is in accordance with FAR Subpart 5.2, Synopses of Proposed Contract Actions. The U.S. Department of the Interior, the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE), on behalf of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), Acquisition Operations Branch, is the contracting office for this procurement. The purpose of this notice is to announce the intent to award a firm fixed price type of contract on a sole source basis to IHS Global, Inc., in accordance with FAR Subpart 13.5 and under the authority of the test program for commercial items at 41 U.S.C. 1901. The bureau has a requirement to purchase the IHS Gulf of Mexico (GOM) Pressure Database and updates, in support of the mission of the Office of Resource Evaluation in the GOM. IHS is the only responsible source who can provide the Gulf of Mexico Pressure Database required by the BOEM, Office of Resource Evaluation. Since the Macondo oil spill, properly evaluating GOM pressure (geopressure, pore pressure) data has become even more critical for BOEM and the Oil and Gas industry. Geopressure data is used to better understand regional pressure regimes, hydrocarbon migration and entrapment, trap and seal intergrity, fluid contacts in reservoirs, reservoir connectivity, fracture analysis and geohazard identification. BOEM has the urgent need to acquire analyzed pressure data on GOM wells in order to support timely geological and geophysical reviews of plans and permits, fair market value evaluations, resource and reserve estimations, and conservation of resources reviews. As such, an extensive, standardized, and immediately available commercial database is required. The IHS Pressure Database is a unique instrument that offers a large volume of widely situated geopressure data for the GOM that will give BOEM an immediate and important tool in its management of the GOM It is anticipated that a purchase order will be awarded on or before August 31, 2014 with a 12-month base period of performance and four 12-month option periods. The applicable NAICS Code is 519190. This is NOT a request for competitive quotes. This notice of intent is for informational purposes only. However, all responsible sources may submit a proposal which shall be considered by the agency if received by the Point of Contact (POC) listed below by close of business June 25, 2014 (reference Solicitation No. M14PS00038). A determination by the Government not to compete this action based on this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. POC: Lisa A.
