IDIQ Definitive Contract for Seismic Reflection Data

This contract establishes an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Definitive Contract for acquiring 2D multichannel seismic reflection data, a critical source of subsurface information essential for multiple projects within the program portfolio. The seismic reflection data, often complemented by drilling well log data, play a key role in energy resource assessments including oil and gas, geologic hydrogen, and carbon storage and sequestration. Due to the high cost of these data sets, purchases are made only when a detailed understanding of subsurface geometries is crucial for evaluating energy resource potential. Managed by the U.S. Geological Survey under the Department of the Interior, this contract supports projects aligned with several Executive and Secretary’s Orders aimed at advancing American energy dominance. The place of performance is in Denver, and while the contract is set aside for entities other than small businesses, it remains a vital resource for informing national energy strategies. The point of contact is Sean Jones, who also serves as the small business specialist, facilitating communications related to the contract’s requirements and acquisition process.
