- Description
- This is a notice of intent to solicit from a single source. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), intends to award a purchase order to Applied Physics Systems, Inc. in Mountain View, CA 94043 for a paleomagnetic sample handling system to couple with the USGS owned cryogenic magnetometer as described in the below Salient Characteristics. Award will be made in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b) and the procedures at FAR Part 12 entitled, Acquisition of Commercial Items and FAR Part 13 entitled, Simplified Acquisition Procedures. Applied Physics Systems, Inc. is, to the USGS' knowledge, the only source who can provide the Government the required a paleomagnetic sample handling system that integrates existing vertical orientated 755-4K SRM Superconducting Rock Magnetometer equipment. The purpose of this notice is to satisfy the requirements of FAR Subpart 5.2. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes. However, all responsible parties may submit a quotation by the closing date of this announcement which shall be considered by the agency. No solicitation will be issued. A determination not to compete this action based upon responses received is in the sole discretion of the Government. The NAICS code for this action is 334519 Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing and associated size standard 500 employees apply to this announcement. Responses or inquiries shall only be accepted through electronic mail addressed to nlushenko@usgs.gov and must be uploaded and received in their entirety no later than June 7, 2019 1700 ET. Responses submitted by hardcopy or the FedConnect web portal or the FedConnect Message Center shall not be accepted or considered. Salient Characteristics: Specifications required for new sample handling system: * Removeable plastic tray with up to 99 sample capacity * Trays are lightweight, portable, and can be USGS laboratory specified not standard available sample tray. * Trays must be able to handle sediment samples in plastic boxes and optimized for the cylindrical rock samples. * Computer controlled XY horizontal tray movement. * System configured to handle any number of samples with 1 to 99 sample loading control. * A maximum of 99 sample tray holds, with options to run any number of samples without the system requiring the user load a specific number of samples. * Motor driven vacuum provides sample pickup from tray * Motors control up/down and rotational movement of samples * System configured for streamlined and integrated sample processing * System includes magnetometer, support measurement and control units. Included dedicated computer and monitor * Degaussing system consists of 2 Helmholz transverse coils and axial in-line coil * Axial coil has max field of 3KG, w/ transverse coils max field of 1.25KG * IRM and ARM coils mounted in-line * Max IRM field is 10KG, max ARM field is 10G * System software is Paleomag software upgraded to support operation * System allows both manual and automatic sample handling, degaussing and data acquisition via SAM file data format NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (28-MAY-2019); HOWEVER, IT DID APPEAR IN THE FEDBIZOPPS FTP FEED ON THIS DATE.
