AI Contract Overview
The Department of the Interior, through the U.S. Geological Survey California Water Science Center, intends to award a firm-fixed-price purchase order to R.T. Clark for the SmartSolo IGU-16HR 3C 5Hz nodal seismic data acquisition system and supporting equipment. This procurement, estimated at 39,843.05 dollars, is being conducted as a sole source acquisition under FAR Part 12 and the Simplified Acquisition Threshold. The system is required to monitor long-term groundwater hydrologic systems and must be fully software and hardware compatible with the existing SmartSolo IGU-16 sensor pool at the Geology, Geophysics, and Geochemistry Science Center to ensure precise coordinated timing and sampling frequency across the network. The required equipment must be fully autonomous, waterproof, and operational in temperatures ranging from below 0 degrees Celsius to over 50 degrees Celsius. Technical specifications include a 3-axis seismic sensor operating between 1 and 5Hz, internal GPS and clock systems, internal memory of at least 128GB, and batteries capable of 30 days of continuous recording at 200Hz. The award includes the delivery of shipping containers and a portable data extraction and charging system. Interested parties may submit capability statements to Contracting Officer Joahnne Ongjoco via email by September 4, 2026, at 0900 hours Eastern Time.

Full Description
This is a notice of intent to solicit from a single source.
The purpose of this notice is to satisfy the requirements of FAR 5.101(c)(4)(vii). This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes. However, all responsible parties may submit a capability statement by the closing date of this announcement 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 U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), California Water Science Center (CWSC) intends to award a purchase order to R.T Clark for SmartSolo IGU-16HR 3C 5Hz nodal seismic data acquisition system and supporting equipment to monitor long-term characterization and monitoring of groundwater hydrologic systems.
Award will be made in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation FAR Part 12 Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services. To the knowledge of USGS, R.T. Clark is the only source that can provide the nodal system above, as it will
primarily be used in conjunction with existing government-purchased equipment as required to complete regional-scale surveys. The nodal seismic system needs to fully integrate with the existing SmartSolo IGU-16 sensor pool in operation at the Geology, Geophysics, and Geochemistry Science center. In seismic nodal networks of any size, all nodes must sample data at exactly the same frequency and have precise coordinated timing. Differences in programmable settings and hardware within the network compromise this compatibility. The SmartSolo sensor system requires specialized programming software to synchronize the sampling frequency and data recording across the node network.
Responses or inquiries shall only be accepted through electronic mail addressed to Contracting Officer Joahnne Ongjoco at contact@example.gov and must be uploaded and received in their entirety no later than 09/04/2026 at 0900 hours Eastern Time. Responses submitted by hardcopy or the SAM.gov portal shall not be accepted or considered.
