Purchasing Agent, (303) 236-5900, x327 or FAX (303) 236-2710 E-MAIL:
USGS, CR, Acquisitions & Federal Assistance, mhutchi@usgs.gov. Concerns
having the ability to furnish the supplies described herein are
requested to give written notification (including the telephone number
for a point of contact) to the procuring office above within 45
calendar days from the date of this synopsis. The U.S. Geological
Survey, Global Change and Climate History Team, requires reliable,
precise, accurate, and rapid instrumentation for analyses of total,
inorganic, and organic carbon in geological materials. An automated
coulometer, which will increase the output of carbon analyses, is
required to replace the manual coulometer currently in use. The
coulometer shall have a wide, linear dynamic range of from 10 parts per
million (0.001%) to 100% carbon. Total inorganic carbon and total
organic carbon must be obtained by acidifying the sample to get rid of
inorganic (carbonate) carbon, running another total carbon analysis
which is taken as total organic carbon, and then calculate total
inorganic carbon by difference. Based on information available at this
time, and in accordance with 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1), implemented by FAR
5.302-1, the Government considers the item specified as a sole source
from UIC, Inc., Joliet, Illinois, 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 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
notice may represent the Government's only official notice of this
procurement. See Note 22. Posted 06/22/99 (W-SN345891). (0173) Loren Data Corp. http://www.ld.com (SYN# 0314 19990624\66-0001.SOL)
