Geomark Research LTD

Geomark Research LTD, a for-profit partnership based in Houston, Texas, operates as a prime contractor on federal purchase orders for geochemical laboratory services and petroleum data products, with 97% of recent awards held as prime positions and a consistent small-business set-aside posture across its federal footprint. The vendor holds no standing IDVCs or BPAs and does not operate as a primary GWAC awardee; all work flows through direct purchase orders or sub-awards on federal grants.

Geomark's capability portfolio centers on two distinct service lines grounded in its award history. The first comprises geochemical analysis and sample preparation: the vendor performs washing and geochemical measurements on well cuttings samples, including Total Organic Carbon analysis and carbon isotope ratio analysis with specified accuracy tolerances and quality assurance documentation, as evidenced by a $20.7 thousand purchase order from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for Alaska North Slope well samples with ultimate completion in February 2027. The second is petroleum data products and subscriptions: Geomark maintains and licenses a digitized petroleum sample database covering continental U.S. oil and gas basins, delivering geochemical and pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) data through an online interface with annual updates, as demonstrated by a $318.4 thousand USGS database subscription purchase order awarded in August 2022 with a three-year service period ending March 2026, and a prior $204 thousand O.I.L.S. database subscription purchase order from March 2019.

Customer concentration is extreme and narrow. The Department of the Interior's USGS Office of Acquisitions and Grants accounts for 15 awards and $1.6 million in combined potential value—86% of all recent federal work and 84% of total dollars. USGS Flagstaff Science Center, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, and the Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy represent the remaining tracked customer set. Recent obligated dollars total $1.5 million against a combined potential value of $1.9 million across 30 awards spanning from 1998 to August 2026. Activity is sparse and irregular—one award in 2022, one in 2023, and one in 2026—with only one award (valued at $21 thousand) reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. Geomark performs PVT testing and analysis services as a sub-recipient on federal grants managed by Battelle Memorial Institute. The vendor's award classification spans Testing Laboratories and Services (14 awards), Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services (5 awards), and Geophysical Surveying and Mapping Services (2 awards) under primary NAICS codes, with software and database product awards cross-coded to Information Technology Software (11 awards) under PSC.
