About this opportunity
The Department of Energy National Energy Technology Laboratory issued a notice of intent to sole source a 3D Rock Core Imager to Green Imaging Technologies Inc., with interested parties required to submit evidence of capability by 1700 PM EDT on September 15, 2026. NETL asserts that Green Imaging Technologies Inc. is the only known source capable of meeting its requirement, as the system is patent-protected, proprietary, and specifically engineered to operate with NETL's existing Oxford GeoSpec NMR P10 Overburden Cell to maintain experimental continuity and prevent data corruption. The instrument will enhance subsurface research capabilities by evaluating petrophysical features and multi-phase fluid flow in geologic cores and wellbore cement while enabling direct quantitative comparisons with NETL's historical and ongoing rock core datasets. Any interested party believing it can meet the requirement must submit written responses to Contract Specialist David Lahey at David.Lahey@netl.doe.gov; telephone responses will not be accepted. The Government retains sole discretion to determine whether to compete the requirement based on responses received. This notice is issued under Revolutionary FAR Overhaul Part 12 for acquisition of commercial products and commercial services.
Notice text
In accordance with Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) Part 12 - Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services, the Department of Energy (DOE), National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) intends to negotiate and award a purchase order on a sole source basis to Green Imaging Technologies Inc. NETL requires this 3D Rock Core Imager as it will allow NETL to significantly enhance and improve its subsurface research capabilities. This instrument provides cutting-edge solutions to better evaluate petrophysical features and multi-phase fluid flow of geologic cores and wellbore cement. This system is patent-protected and proprietary to Green Imaging Technologies Inc. and is specifically engineered to operate seamlessly with NETL’s existing Oxford GeoSpec NMR P10 Overburden Cell. This compatible technology is required to maintain experimental continuity, prevent data corruption from system discrepancies, and ensure direct quantitative comparisons with NETL’s historical and ongoing rock core datasets. This is considered a sole source to Green Imaging Technologies Inc. because to the best of NETL’s knowledge, Green Imaging Technologies Inc. is the only known source that can provide the required instrument. No known potential alternate sources exist which could satisfy this requirement.
This notice of intent is not a request or quote/proposal. Any interested party that believes it is capable of meeting the NETL requirement described herein may identify themselves and must provide evidence of their capability to fulfill the requirement being requested by 1700 PM EDT on September 15, 2026.
Responses must be submitted in writing to the Contract Specialist David Lahey, via email at David.Lahey@netl.doe.gov no later than the time and date noted above. Telephone responses and requests will not be received.
A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct competitive procurement.
