The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), specifically the Division of Florida Geological Survey (FGS), is pursuing a single-source procurement for a Transient Electromagnetics (TEM) product from Guideline Geo Americas, Inc. The procurement covers a comprehensive TEM system that includes two 3 x 3-meter transmitter and receiver coils, a 10amp battery/controller box with rechargeable Li-ion batteries, and a 40 x 40 meter loop to extend survey depth capabilities. This equipment is specifically the GroundTEM i10GroundExplorer TEM system, designed to map subsurface conductivity and resistivity with enhanced depth and resolution. The procurement is for a twelve-month term, with a posting date of April 15, 2025, and a final date for information receipt of May 6, 2025. The key objectives include supporting water-resource conservation, management, and geological hazard assessment through advanced geophysical survey technology.

This procurement is a statutorily mandated fifteen business day advertisement for a single-source acquisition, with no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational responses noted. The estimated dollar amount for the acquisition is $47,000.00, with Guideline Geo Americas, Inc. identified as the sole point of supply and support for the TEM system.
