- Description
- SOURCES SOUGHT: This is a SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is conducting a MARKET SURVEY to determine the interest and capability of any firm eligible to compete under NAICS code 511210 Software Publishers with a Small Business Size Standard of $41.5 M for an upcoming Interactive Petrophysics (IP) software requirement. The Central Energy Resources Science Center (CERSC) and Geology, Energy, and Minerals Science Center (GEMSC) invest significant annual funding to support a spectrum of commercial databases (IHS, Nehring, etc.) and research that utilizes public databases and core archives. Petrophysical expertise exists within the ERP such that robust petrophysical analysis for resource assessments could be conducted with these databases. The science centers are currently performing research and resource assessments using limited petrophysical capabilities. The progress and efficiency of this work are limited by the low number of available software licenses, and the lack of capabilities of the current software. The increased scope and frequency of unconventional and low permeability conventional resource research and assessments have led to the combined request from CERSC and GEMSC to purchase Interactive Petrophysics (IP) software which is capable of facilitating robust petrophysical analysis. Employees within the science center�s perform original research and support the research of colleagues assigned to these priority resource assessments. The addition of quantitative petrophysical software will expand and enhance the research being conducted by CERSC and GEMSC and improve the scientific robustness of our assessment products. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION. ALL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH PROVIDING INFORMATION AS REQUESTED BY THIS SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE SHALL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CONTRACTOR. Submission is voluntary. A scope of work will be provided with any solicitation that may be issued. The Government is not required to issue a solicitation.

In response to this announcement, please indicate your firm's socioeconomic status (e.g. small business, service-disabled veteran-owned, women owned, HUBZone, etc.) This information will assist the Government in determining how small businesses can fit into the acquisition strategy. A firm is considered small under NAICS code 511210 if they have a size standard of $41.5 M or less. Any information submitted is voluntary. If sufficient interest and capability is not received from firms in categories (A) through (E) above, any solicitation may be issued as unrestricted without further consideration.
