AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Geological Survey’s Upper Midwest Environmental Science Center plans to issue a non-competitive purchase order to International Industries, Inc. for specialized equipment designed to assess native mussel populations and environmental conditions in rivers. This equipment includes a portable Groundmaster Acoustic System capable of remote sensing in very shallow waters (less than 0.5 meters) as well as depths up to 20 meters, utilizing two 200 kHz transducers with both wide and narrow beams tailored for different water depths. The system provides real-time classification data directly related to sediment characteristics and mussel bed identification, making it uniquely suited for environmental monitoring and population decline studies. The anticipated award date is March 18, 2002, with delivery expected by April 22, 2002. The procurement is conducted via a request for written quotation rather than a competitive proposal, as International Industries, Inc. holds unique and essential qualifications for the required technology. Responses to this informational notice were to be submitted by March 15, 2002, though the government reserves the option to pursue a competitive procurement if deemed necessary. No further announcements regarding this contract opportunity were planned.

Full Description

The U.S. Geological Survey, Upper Midwest Environmental Science Center intends to award a non-competitive purchase order via request for written quotation to International Industries, Inc., 407 Innovation Drive, Annapolis, MD to be delivered by 04/22/02. The anticipated award date is 03/18/02. This equipment is needed to evaluate the distribution of native mussels in rivers and determine environmental factors that are contributing population declines. The proposed contractor offers unique qualifications in the followings areas, which are considered essential to the requirement. These unique and essential qualifications of the equipment are 1) the equipment meets the requirements for remote sensoring of mussel beds and sediment characteristics in rivers, 2) is a portable system capable of operating waters less than 0.5 meters deep, 3) It can be configured to use two 200 kHz transducers for working in both shallow and deep water, 4) the wide beam of one transducer is designed to work in very shallow water because it samples a footprint on the river bottom that is equal to the working depth, which is sufficiently large to identify low density mussel beds, 5) the narrow beam transducer samples a much smaller footprint and work in areas with depths up to 20 meters, and 6) the system outputs the classification data in real time, and provides direct information on the sediment characteristics. THIS NOTICE IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSE ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. Information will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Determination to compete this requirement is solely within the discretion of the Government. Reponses to this notice must be submitted by 3/15/02 via email - contact@example.gov or fax - +1 (555) 000-0000. No additional synopsis will be published. See Numbered Note 22.
