The U.S. Geological Survey, CR Minerals team, Denver, CO has a requirement for a upgrade and expansion of the existing SQUID software program for processing and interpretation of U/Pb and other isotopic data from a SHRIMP ion microprobe. The conversion of raw data measured on SHRIMP to useful isotope ratios and apparent ages is accomplished by SQUID, in a software package in the form of an Excel macro. The limiations that prevent data reductions of more diverse applications of the SHRIMP will be added with this software upgrade. The original program was written by Berkeley Geochronology Center. Based on information available at this time, and in accordance with 41 U.S.C. 253 (c)(1), implemented by FAR 5.30201, the Government considers the services specified as a sole source from Berkeley Geochronology Center, Berkeley CA and proposes to negotiate a contract with this firm on that basis. However, should additional sources be identified, they will be considered. Firms who feel that they can furnish the required services and supplies are invitied to submit in writing an affirmative repoonse to the announcement, and such other materials which correspond to the required items stated herein. This information will be evaluated and used to determine if comletitive opportunities exist. Since no solicitation document exists, requies for such documents withou accompanying information will be considered non-responsive to this requiest without further consideration. This notice may represent the Government's only official notice of this procurment. See Note 22.
