The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) has awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to Geokon Inc., a small business manufacturer of geotechnical instrumentation. The five-year, sole source contract has a potential value of $740,427 and enables the ERDC to streamline the procurement of hydraulic earth pressure cells (EPCs) and associated technical support services from Geokon, the exclusive manufacturer.
The BPA aims to fulfill the ERDC's ongoing experimentation needs for EPCs over the next five years. Geokon, as the original equipment manufacturer, will provide the EPCs as well as direct in-house technical support to ERDC researchers and scientists to troubleshoot any issues that may arise. This technical support is considered essential, as the EPCs are specialized products with limited commercial availability. The contract is not set aside for any socioeconomic programs, and falls under NAICS code 334513 for Instruments and Related Products Manufacturing.
