2D seismic reflection profiles

The U.S. Geological Survey's Alaska Basins and Petroleum Systems project is procuring the acquisition of 60 line-miles of digital, two-dimensional seismic reflection data from the Cook Inlet region of Alaska. The Department of the Interior's US Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants is seeking this specialized geophysical surveying service to support geologic research for assessing undiscovered oil and gas resources, potential CO2 storage, and enhanced oil recovery opportunities. The contract requires delivery of pre-stack time migration data in SEG-Y format with complete and accurate navigation metadata, meeting quality standards sufficient for regional geologic interpretation. Offerors must submit one electronic copy of their quotations to Mindie Dixon at mdixon@sgs.gov, organized with specific tabs for Offer Form, Pricing, Completed Forms, and Evaluation Factors. The critical deadline for quotation submissions is September 15, 2025, with an anticipated contract award date of September 17, 2025.

This procurement opportunity is designated as a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS code 541360 for Geophysical Surveying and Mapping Services, with a size standard of $28.5 million. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the solicitation documentation. While specific contract values are not disclosed, the procurement falls under the small business size standard threshold and involves a single line item for the seismic reflection profile acquisition. The contract includes a 60-day delivery timeline after receipt of order, with no option periods included in the base contract structure. Performance will involve data collection in the Cook Inlet area of Alaska, with final delivery of processed seismic data required at the USGS facility in Reston, Virginia. Vendors must maintain active registration in SAM.gov to be eligible for contract award consideration.
