The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), a civilian agency within the Department of the Interior, awarded a single-award indefinite delivery contract (IDC) to Teledyne Instruments, Inc., a division of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated. The $16 million, five-year IDC designates Teledyne as the exclusive provider of hydrological equipment, repairs, and maintenance services to support USGS's national stream gauging network.
Under this sole-source contract, Teledyne RD Instruments, a subsidiary of Teledyne Instruments, will deliver a range of specialized oceanographic and hydrological instrumentation to the USGS, including acoustic Doppler current profilers, Doppler velocity logs, acoustic releases, modems, and sensors. Teledyne will also provide repair and maintenance services for this equipment used in the agency's critical water monitoring, hydrographic survey, and coastal mapping efforts. The contract does not utilize any small business set-asides, reflecting Teledyne's position as a large, specialized manufacturer in this domain. Task orders issued against the IDC have ranged from approximately $17,000 to over $900,000, primarily for the purchase and upkeep of the specialized hydrological instrumentation.
