66--Lidar Scanner

The contract solicitation under number 140G0226Q0056 seeks a single YellowScan Surveyor Ultra LiDAR scanner through a total small business set-aside, with the North American Industry Classification System code 334516, targeting small business concerns. The procurement is structured as a firm fixed price contract and follows the lowest priced, technically acceptable (LPTA) award methodology, where technical compliance with minimum requirements—such as LiDAR scanner precision, accuracy, and laser channels—is assessed on a pass/fail basis before price becomes the sole deciding factor. The delivery must occur within 120 days after receipt of order, with FOB destination terms applying, and the item is to be delivered to the U.S. Geological Survey ESP Team at the Denver Federal Center in Denver, Colorado. The contract mandates that the product be authentic, manufacturer-certified, and delivered in original packaging with proper labeling including the OEM part number, CAGE code, and packaging entity identification, while explicitly prohibiting gray market, counterfeit, or resale items. The solicitation includes stringent compliance requirements under federal accessibility standards, requiring submission of an Accessibility Conformance Report using VPAT Version 2.1 or later to demonstrate alignment with Section 508 and WCAG 2.0 Level AA criteria, along with documentation of universal design implementation and remediation plans for non-conforming features. Security provisions are extensive, compelling contractors to adhere to NIST SP 800-53, FIPS 199, and DOI security protocols, including mandatory background checks for personnel accessing systems, annual security training, signing of Non-Disclosure Agreements and legal warning banners, and immediate reporting of security incidents and personnel changes. All work must be performed within the United States, and contractors are required to submit electronic invoices via the Invoice Processing Platform (IPP), with payments directed to the U.S. Geological Survey Denver Acquisition Branch. Offerors must affirm small business status and disclose UEI and CAGE codes, and must comply with a range of FAR clauses including Buy American (with deviation), Nonmanufacturer Rule, Dei Discrimination, Combating Trafficking, and sustainable procurement policies, with deviations explicitly authorized for certain clauses. Submissions must be sent via email by June 13, 2026, and include all required certifications, technical specifications, and accessibility reports, with no submissions accepted through SAM.gov.
