Notice of Intent to award a sole source purchase order to Geophysical Survey Systems, Inc. for a ground penetrating radar system.

Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Atlantic intends to solicit and negotiate a sole-source, firm-fixed price (FFP), commercial item purchase order with Geophysical Survey Systems, Inc.; 12 Industrial Way, Salem NH 03079. The procurement will be conducted on a sole source basis in accordance with the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR Part 13.106(b)(1), Soliciting from a Single Source. Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

This requirement is for the following items:

1 each part number FGUTILSCAN-DF/625, dual antenna GPR system with 2 wheel lightweight folding cart, cables, controller, and 2 additional RADAN Main Module activations.



5 each part number FG625-SKID, additional skid plates for 2 wheel cart

1 each part number FGWINRAD7-MAIN, RADAN 7 software, RADAN Main Module (2 Activations)

4 each part number FGWINRAD7-SITE license, 8 Additional Activations

1 each part number FGMODBPNI2040, Battery pack for DF Antenna

1 each part number FGMODBC204-2, Battery Charger for DF Batteries

1 Day of on-site training for the week of 28 August 2014 at NAVFAC Atlantic

The GPR system will be used by NAVFAC Atlantic and NAVFAC MIDLANT for airfield void detections, utility location, and location of cultural resources. The GPR system shall have a lightweight folding two wheel cart. The GPR system shall have a dual frequency antenna to collect information at shallow and deeper depths.

The GPR system shall have an 800 MHz frequency and a 300 MHz antenna to locate utilities at depths of fifteen feet. The system shall be capable of displaying information simultaneously or separately. The required scan depth for the system is 15 feet. Extra skid plates, batteries, and battery chargers are required for system back-up during field work. NAVFAC currently owns and maintains RADAN 7 software for the existing GPR systems. The new GPR system must be compatible with the existing RADAN software. NAVFAC Atlantic is currently using a GSSI GPR system. This system requires the use of RADAN 7 software to post process data. GSSI is the only manufacture of GPR systems that interface with the RADAN 7 software.

The same equipment system and post processing software is required to have consistency in how the data is presented.

This is not a request for competitive offers and a solicitation will not be issued; however, any firm that believes it can meet the requirements must submit a written response. All written responses must include a written narrative statement of capability, including detailed technical information demonstrating their ability to meet the above requirements. The response must be sufficient to permit agency analysis to establish a bonafide capability to meet the requirements. Failure to submit such documentation shall result in the Government proceeding as stated above. A determination by the Government not to open the requirement to competition based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.

If no responses are received, the Government will proceed with the sole source award to Geophysical Survey Systems, Inc. Award will be made in accordance with FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items and FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures.
