About this opportunity
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) is issuing Request for Quotation (RFQ) 140G0326Q0090 to procure 40 units of Kinemetrics 111915-01-PL 4-channel terminal strip interface boards, which serve as adapters to interface digitizer-recorders with seismic sensors in the Earthquake Science Center's National Strong Motion Network. These proprietary analog devices route seismic sensor connector lines to terminal strips and supply +/- 12-volt differential power to legacy seismic sensors compatible with Kinemetrics Multi-Channel Digitizer models (Granite, Basalt, and Obsidian). The USGS will evaluate quotations using the lowest price technically acceptable method, requiring vendors to submit a signed SF 18 form, firm fixed-price quote, technical specifications with part and model numbers, and place of manufacturing information. All equipment must be new only with manufacturer's warranty coverage; no grey market or refurbished products are acceptable. Written questions must be submitted by April 24, 2026 at 1500 PST to yangzhideng@usgs.gov, with quotations due electronically by May 1, 2026 at 1500 PST.
This procurement is not designated as a small business set-away. The estimated delivery date is July 31, 2026 or earlier, with delivery to USGS at 350 North Akron Road, Building 19, Moffett Field, California 94035 under FOB destination terms. No incumbent contractor or award value range is specified in the solicitation documents. Vendors must provide detailed technical submissions explaining how their offerings meet, exceed, or differ from salient characteristics, as merely providing technical specifications without direct comparison is insufficient for evaluation. The USGS is tax-exempt, and all invoices must be submitted electronically through the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Invoice Processing Platform within 90 calendar days after the period of performance expires.
