66--OhmMapper Capacitively Coupled Resistivity System

The U.S. Army’s Engineer Research and Development Center, specifically the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory, intends to issue a sole source, firm fixed price simplified acquisition purchase order to Geometrics, Inc., based in San Jose, California. The procurement is authorized under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and involves the acquisition of four additional OhmMapper TRN receivers, one OhmMapper transmitter, along with necessary supporting items and training. This purchase is aimed at upgrading the existing Government-owned OhmMapper system from TR1 to TR5, facilitating enhanced on-site operation of the individually operated resistivity system. The contract, identified under solicitation number W913E5-9104-2466, relates to the purchase of a capacitively coupled resistivity system under NAICS code 334519. The office handling the contract is located in Hanover, New Hampshire, and the procurement supports the Department of Defense’s Cold Regions research efforts. This sole source award highlights the specialized nature of the equipment and training being acquired, underscoring the necessity of working with the original equipment manufacturer to ensure compatibility and performance enhancements.
