About this file
This document is a Single Source Determination form using Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP) for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Pacific Region. The procurement is for Electric Resistivity Imaging Equipment, specifically consisting of 1 control meter, 1 switchbox, 112 electrodes, 4 cables, 4 transport cases, 1 software license, and equipment training for 2 individuals. Advanced Geoscience Inc. of Austin, Texas is the sole proposed contractor, justified as the only American-owned and manufactured producer meeting the specialized equipment requirements for geological investigations.
The document details extensive market research conducted from 07/18/2024 to 07/22/2024, which investigated multiple international equipment manufacturers including companies from Sweden, India, France, Russia, and China. Despite multiple manufacturers claiming to meet specifications, Advanced Geoscience was determined to be the preferred vendor due to meeting specific technical requirements, being locally manufactured, and having comparable pricing (around $160,000 plus or minus $5,000). The procurement is being handled by the SWRO Division of Natural Resources, Water Resources & Irrigation, with a notice of intent to be posted for 5 business days to inform potential vendors.
