About this opportunity
The US Geological Survey (USGS), operating under the Department of the Interior's Office of Acquisitions and Grants, is conducting market research to identify qualified vendors capable of providing structural geology software and licensing for critical mineral resource research in the northeastern Washington region. The software must possess advanced data integration capabilities and support forward and reverse cross-section modeling, kinematic restoration, and validation functions. Required technical capabilities include the ability to import multiple data types such as digital field data, seismic data, well and borehole information, geological maps, point clouds, gravity and magnetic data, and various file formats (GIS shapefiles, DXF, voxet, and ASCII). The software must support specialized modeling functionalities including block restoration, flexural slip, simple shear, trishear, and fault bend folding, along with displacement analysis and fault validity testing. Interested parties must submit capability statements via electronic mail to yangzhi_deng@ios.doi.gov no later than April 20, 2026 at 0800 PST, with responses limited to email submission only.
This is a sources-sought announcement rather than a formal request for proposals, meaning the government is not obligated to award a contract and will not reimburse costs associated with responding. No set-aside designations apply to this procurement, which is classified under NAICS code 513210 (Software Publishers) with a size standard of $47 million and Product Service Code 7A21 (Computer Software Commercial). The contract does not identify any incumbent contractors or specific award values in the pre-solicitation materials. The period of performance spans one year from the award date with two additional option years, extending through December 31, 2029. Deliverables include the structural geology modeling software, USB key license, annual software maintenance, and technical support, with contractors required to possess full distribution rights for the latest version of the software being proposed.
