- Description
- The Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Earthquake Science Center (ESC), has a requirement for a new order for nodal-seismographs and additional SmartSolo nodal seismographs from R.T. Clark of Oklahoma City, OK to integrate with existing seismographs in Government inventory. The Earthquake Science Center (ESC) of the USGS currently owns ~500 SmartSolo IGU-16HR 3C nodal seismographs, related software, and requisite auxiliary equipment to make the seismographs functional. ESC needs additional seismographs for studies related to seismic imaging and earthquake monitoring. If similar equipment were purchased by ESC, there could be differences in the nodal seismographs that would result in recorded data that would be incompatible with data recorded from our existing nodal seismographs. Such mismatched data could lead to large errors in interpreting and understanding the recorded data. Furthermore, we have found no other nodal seismographs that are compatible with ESC�s existing software and auxiliary equipment, which would make it exceedingly difficult or impossible to retrieve the data from the newly purchased (non-SmartSolo) seismographs. Finally, R.T. Clark is the sole vendor for SmartSolo nodal seismographs in the United States. No other commercial vendor has the capability for supplying these units in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b) and the procedures of FAR Part 12, entitled, Acquisition of Commercial Items. Other interested concerns having the ability to provide these supplies may submit a capabilities statement to the Contracting Officer via email at cjfejarang@usgs.gov no later than the closing date of this announcement on January 19, 2022 at 12:00pm PDT. All submissions will be evaluated to determine if competitive opportunities exist.
