## Description

The US Geological Survey (USGS) intends to award a purchase order to GEOTEK LIMITED for software and hardware upgrades to their GEOTEK LIMITED Multi-Sensor Core Logger System. 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.

The GeoTek MSCL is used to analyze core samples for research projects involving such things as earthquakes, climate research, marine mineral exploration, and volcanic activity history.

It is critical that we obtain software and hardware upgrades to our Geotek Multi-Sensor Core Logger (MSCL) system to (1) meet serviceable requirements set by Geotek and (2) continue to provide industry standard data quality. 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 capability statement which may 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.
