## Description

CORE HEAD REPAIRS NOTICE OF INTENT This is a notice of intent to solicit from a single source. The US Geological Survey (USGS) intends to award a Purchase Order to Epiroc for the repair of two Core Drill Heads as described in the attached Statement of Work. Award will be made in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b) and the procedures at FAR Part 12 entitled, Acquisition of Commercial Items and FAR Part 13 entitled, Simplified Acquisition Procedures.

Epiroc is, to the knowledge of the USGS, the only source who can perform this service. Because of the size and weight of this equipment, it is not feasible to ship it to a vendor that is not local to the Las Vegas area where the equipment is located. As this equipment is unique, there are no other known vendors that can do the repair. Lastly, Epiroc USA LLC has acquired the patent for this proprietary equipment. There are no authorized servicers outside of the company.

The purpose of this notice is to satisfy the requirements of FAR Subpart 5.2. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes. However, all responsible parties may submit a quotation which shall be considered by the agency. No solicitation will be issued. A determination not to compete this action based upon responses received is in the sole discretion of the Government. The NAICS code 811310, Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment (except Automotive and Electronic)

**Repair and Maintenance, and PSC R499, Support-Professional Services:** Other, apply to this announcement. Responses or inquiries shall only be accepted through electronic mail addressed to capplegate@usgs.gov and must be uploaded and received in their entirety no later than 02/12/2024 at 0700 PST.
