This federal contract was awarded by the Department of the Interior US Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants to Vista Clara Inc., a small business veteran-owned manufacturer of advanced magnetic resonance technologies. The $62,997.00 firm-fixed-price purchase order is for an NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) system to be used for sediment moisture measurements. Vista Clara has previously provided NMR logging tools, instrumentation, and borehole systems to support agricultural water research, water monitoring, and geotechnical investigations for various federal agencies. Through Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grants from the Department of Energy Office of Science, Vista Clara has also received over $5.5 million to develop magnetic resonance sensors for soil hydrology research and contaminant remediation monitoring.
