About this file
This document is a Source/Brand Name Justification from the United States Department of Agriculture for a limited acquisition. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Louisiana State Office is seeking to purchase an Echotrac E20-DC Dual Channel Hydrographic single beam echosounder with specific technical requirements, including 2 channels operating at 10-250kHz with a maximum depth of 1,000m. The equipment will be used on a 26' survey vessel equipped with Trimble R12 RTK and Hypack software.
The procurement includes seven line items: the dual frequency echo sounder, transducer cable adapter, single beam training, data/power supply, cable adaptor, power supply, and power cord kit. Market research concluded that the required products and support are only available through the open market, with Survey Equipment Services, Inc. in Katy, Texas identified as the recommended sole source. The company can provide local training, installation, and calibration, and allows for shortened installation with personnel traveling to the boat instead of moving the vessel to repair shops. The estimated price is redacted in the document.
