Seismograph and seismic refraction kit

The U.S. Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants is seeking to procure a Seismograph and Seismic Refraction Kit through a Request for Quotation process. Specifically, the agency requires one Geometrics GEODE 24-Channel Seismograph (Part # 900-00300-24) or equivalent that meets detailed technical specifications including modular and scalable design supporting 24-96 channels, lightweight and portable acquisition modules, real-time data acquisition capabilities, and compatibility with industry-standard seismic processing software. This solicitation follows FAR 12 and 13 procedures for commercial items under full and open competition. Quotes will be evaluated based on lowest-priced technically acceptable criteria, and interested vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) with a valid Unique Entity Identifier (UEI). The submission deadline is July 14, 2025, at 1700 Pacific Daylight Time, with quotes required to be submitted electronically to Tracy Huot at thuot@usgs.gov.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified contractors meeting the NAICS code 334519 requirements with a size standard of 600 employees or fewer. The solicitation does not identify any incumbent contractors or provide specific award values or budget ranges for the procurement. The requirement is for a single unit of seismic equipment, indicating a relatively straightforward acquisition of specialized geophysical instrumentation. The solicitation also incorporates standard FAR provisions regarding telecommunications equipment representations, requiring offerors to disclose any use of covered telecommunications equipment or services from prohibited vendors. The place of performance and delivery location details are not specified in the available documentation, though the procurement is being managed through the USGS Sacramento Acquisition Branch.
