Note that the specific requirements are subject to change prior to the release of any solicitation.The agency is seeking to retune the highest F1 frequency and add a third lower frequency (F3) of its existing Javelin Slim NMR logging system, which will enhance the capability of the system to see deeper into aquifer formations to provide more robust permeability and porosity measurements in larger-diameter intervals of boreholes. The equipment is needed by the New York Water Science Center.Responses: All interested parties should notify this office via e-mail within the posted date. Responses shall include:(I) To what extent each of the requirements can be met.(II) Include your type of business (i.e. commercial, academia), whether your organization is classified as a large or small business.

The U.S. Geological Survey intends to award a non-competitive purchase order to Vista Clara, Inc of Mukilteo, Washington to upgrade an existing borehole nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) logging system due to estimate geologic and hydraulic properties of aquifer systems. The requested upgrades to the NMR logging system to retune the highest F1 frequency and add a third lower frequency (F3) will enhance the capability of the system to see deeper into aquifer formations to provide more robust permeability and porosity measurements in larger-diameter intervals of boreholesThe addition of the amplifier and rewiring at no charge will protect the system from blown circuity and electrical shorts. The system upgrade is time critical for NMR logging in support of the NYWSC drilling program on Long Island and the NGWOS airborne electromagnetic survey of the Delaware Bay. This upgrade requirement is to be completed within 30 days of the date the contractor receives the purchase order.In accordance with FAR 5.207, all responsible sources may submit a bid, proposal or quotation which shall be considered by the agency, however, THIS NOTICE IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. The Government intends to award this requirement noncompetitively in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1).Email responses to rlanderson@usgs.gov.The North American Classification System (NAICS) code is 334513. The size standard in number of employees is 750.The anticipated contract will be firm fixed-price. A vendor must be registered at https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/ to be awarded the contract. 140G0123Q0035 Department of the Interior US Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants
