J--Polytec Laser Doppler Vibrometer Calibration and M

The U.S. Geological Survey is seeking information from qualified small businesses to provide calibration, maintenance, and modification services for Government-owned Polytec laser Doppler vibrometer equipment used in laboratory earthquake fault-slip experiments. The effort focuses on three CLV-2534 controllers and one NLV2500-VD2 Velocity Decoder, requiring inspection, recalibration to meet USGS Quality Management System standards, and a specific modification to expand the sensing range of the velocity decoder. All work must be performed at the contractor’s facility in Hudson, Massachusetts, with the contractor responsible for return shipment using FedEx Ground under the USGS account and delivering comprehensive calibration certificates and service reports for each unit. Respondents must demonstrate technical capability, relevant experience with similar equipment, qualified personnel, adequate facilities and calibration standards, and robust quality control documentation practices. The solicitation is a sources-sought notice with a deadline of June 27, 2026, and responses must be submitted via email to Joel Berberena. Offerors are required to be registered in SAM.gov, provide their Unique Entity Identifier, declare their small business status, and disclose any use of subcontractors. No pricing information is requested at this stage, as the purpose is market research to inform future acquisition strategy, and no award will result directly from this notice. The solicitation does not specify contract type, formal delivery schedule, FOB terms, or detailed packaging and marking requirements beyond the need for equipment to be clearly labeled by serial number and returned with associated documentation.
