- Description
- INTENT TO AWARD: The US Geological Survey (USGS)/Earth Resources Observations Systems (EROS) has a requirement for Calibration, Software Updates and Warranty Extension of an Existing Teledyne Optech ILRIS 3D terrestrial laser Scanner located at the USGS/EROS, 47914 252nd St., Sioux Falls, SD 57198. The USGS is aware of no other source that can provide this Service. Therefore, it intends to make an Firm Fixed Price Open Market Award to Klein Survey Systems in Lincoln, NE, which is Factory-approved by Optech to perform this work unless it is contacted by any vendor who believes they have similar technical expertise and can provide the same service. Vendors are invited to contact the Purchasing Agent, Carolyn Hieb, chieb@usgs.gov, no later than 12:00 PM EST, Friday, March 31, 2017 with an affirmative answer. Excerpt from Justification for Sole Source: ¿Factory calibration of a USGS owned Teledyne Optech ILRIS 3D terrestrial laser scanner, the pan/tilt mechanism for that scanner and other accessories and peripherals ¿Reinstatement of annual extended warranty for the ILRIS 3D, the pan/tilt mechanism and other accessories for a period of one year ¿Acquisition of Teledyne Optech Scan Works software to assist in managing the scanning of data and to do post-scanning image analysis and manipulation. Rationale Supporting Use of Citation in No. 5: As the manufacturer of the hardware and software, Teledyne Optech has reserved the right to authorize the maintenance of their property rights. As such Teledyne Optech has not authorized resellers or maintainers of their products, excepting one authorized agent for each selected geographical area. The authorized agent for this service for the area in which the USGS/EROS resides is Klein Survey Systems Inc. of Lincoln, NE. Efforts to acquire a new scanner would be much more expensive for the Government to acquire. This is the most efficient and cost-effective approach for the Scanner needed by the USGS and the Federal Government." The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) considers employee signatures to be Personal Protected Information, and therefore all employee signatures have been redacted. By posting this document, the Contracting Officer attests all appropriate signatures have been obtained.
