Description of supply or service required to meet the agency’s needs.

The rational or circumstances for limiting competition.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) Michigan State
Office Soil Specialists are tasked with analysis and maintenance of soil health throughout the state.
Because soil health cannot be accurately measured by only crop yield, water quality, or any other single
outcome, specialists must evaluate other indicators. Indicators are measurable properties of soil or plants that
provide clues about how well the soil can function. Measurable indicators such as physical, chemical, and
biological properties require the use of highly technical analysis equipment.
The GSSI products listed above are required to be compatible with our existing GSSI GPR system that include
RADAN 7 software, 200 MHz antennae, 400 MHz antennae, and 900 MHz antennae. The existing system has
been in operation since August 2019, the software and antennas are not compatible with competitors’ systems
and NRCS staff have received specialized training to specifically operate the existing GSSI GPR system. .
Similar devices do exist; however, only product provided by GSSI are compatible with the existing system.
GSSI informed the USDA that GSSI does not use authorized resellers and that the all equipment is proprietary
to GSSI
Awarded contract 12FPC424Q0021 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 1987-02-15.
