The Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) plans to negotiate and award a sole source purchase order to GEOTEK Ltd. for a set of specific upgrade parts, installation, and training services related to the Multi-Sensor Core Logger (MSCL) system. The contract includes procurement of key components such as a Windows 11 Acquisition PC, a magnetic susceptibility loop sensor, MSCL electronics, ARC P-wave Transducers, core boats for rock core logging, gamma density measurement systems, and related packaging and shipping. Additionally, GEOTEK will provide an installation engineer for three working days to ensure proper setup and training on-site. This sole source award is justified due to the proprietary nature of GEOTEK’s hardware and software, which require integration with the existing NETL-owned MSCL system for compatibility and warranty purposes, and because no other vendors possess access to this technology or the source code necessary for integration. NETL has conducted market research and concluded that GEOTEK Ltd. is the only known source capable of fulfilling these requirements. While this notice is not a solicitation for quotes or proposals, other parties believing they can meet the requirements are invited to submit evidence of capability by June 26, 2026. Responses must be submitted in writing to the Contracting Officer, Arturo Manantan Jr., via email. The government retains full discretion on whether to pursue a competitive process based on received responses. The contract falls under NAICS code 334516 and will be administered through the NETL office in Morgantown, West Virginia.
