Seismic Reflection Data to include the following:

Washington State lines: ~28 miles

84-266-265 604 1400 9.057 Miles

86-266-285 SP 890-1242 5.0 miles

85-266-271 SP 1430-1966 7.628 miles

87-266-288 1126 1564 6.236 Miles



Oklahoma lines: ~26 miles

5567-A-1-12 SP 1168-1565 8.292 Miles

SEI-LC-5 SP 670-992 (5.0 miles)

047-552 SP (whole line; ~3 mi) 2.938 Miles

PR-WMF-01A SP 810-1693 (5.0 miles)

PR-WMF-03 SP 1001-2092 (~5.5 mi)

Total Mileage: 55.44 @ $775/Mile = $42,966.00

The specifics of the acquisition that permit limiting competition are:

The proposed vendor, SEI, is the only known owner of the data and thus precludes the award to any other vendor. The USGS does not have any other data in the Marianna, Ark., study area that provides subsurface images as deep as the proposed data provide. The areal coverage of the new data will also great expand existing knowledge of subsurface geology in the region.

All costs associated with providing information as requested by this Notice shall be the responsibility of the responding firm.
