AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Geological Survey, under the Department of the Interior, is conducting market research through a sources sought announcement to identify qualified businesses capable of supplying high-precision, multi-frequency global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers for monitoring surface deformation and detecting ground motions across timescales from seconds to years. This initiative is strictly for planning purposes to inform future acquisition strategies and does not obligate the government to award a contract or purchase order. Respondents must provide a capability statement and supporting literature, limited to ten pages, detailing how their products meet the technical requirements outlined in the seven-page technical specifications, which include simultaneous tracking of GPS, GLONASS, and SBAS signals with preferred support for Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS, and IRNSS. The receivers must not exceed 11 inches in length, 7 inches in width, and 4 inches in height, weigh no more than 4.4 pounds, operate reliably in temperatures ranging from -40°C to +65°C, and feature a minimum IP65 rating. Additional requirements include a Mean Time Between Failure of at least 57,500 hours per Bellcore “Ground Benign” standards, a minimum of 16 GB of industrial-grade internal memory, and the ability to stream and log GNSS data at 10 Hz or higher. The system must be compatible with existing USGS antennas including Topcon CR-G3, Ashtech choke ring, Septentrio/Tallysman VeraChoke, and Trimble Zephyr Geodetic I, II, and III models, and must demonstrate at least one year of documented operational history identical to the proposed configuration. Price quotes must be provided for both receiver-only and receiver-with-antenna configurations, but no government pricing or quantity commitments exist. All submissions must be sent exclusively via email to Contracting Officer Joahnne Ongjoco at Joahnne_Ongjoco@ios.doi.gov and must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 6, 2026; responses delivered by hardcopy or through the SAM.gov portal will not be considered.
