- Description
- The USGS, Western Coastal and Marine Geology Team, Geologic Discipline, has a requirement to lease a marine BGM-3 Gravimeter, which includes mobilization and demobilization, and technical training for two deployments: one to the Artic aboard the Canadian Coast Guard Vessel, Louis St-Laurent (4 months); and one deployment in Puget Sound on the USGS Vessel Karluk (1 month). Period of Performance is July through November, 2011. The Government intends to award this requirement noncompetitively IAW FAR 13.106-1(b), (1), to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, MA. Marine gravimeters are highly specialized, extremely sensitive, and uncommon instruments. The gravimeter pool maintained by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution is entirely unique and the BGM-3 Gravimeter is required because data acquired by the joint US-Canada program over the past three years has been using the BGM-3 instruments, and data processing algorithms for these specific meters have been developed. The joint US-Canada mission involves two vessels that are working in tandem, and therefore correlation of similar data sets from identical equipment is imperative. Other interested concerns having the ability to furnish these services shall submit a capabilities statement to the Contracting Officer no later than the closing date of this announcement. All submissions will be evaluated to determine if competitive opportunities exist. This is NOT an RFQ. This does represent the Governments only written notice of this procurement. All responsible sources may submit a response which, if timely received, must be considered by the agency. Place of Performance: Menlo Park, CA This notice and any resulting contract or order conforms to the requirements in place through FAC 05-51 (effective 1 April, 2011). All questions regarding this procurement shall be in writing, and addressed to Cheryl Fitch at cfitch@usgs.gov no later than 05/16/2011.
