Opportunity Summary

The U.S. Geological Survey has a requirement for petrophysical analyses services under solicitation number 140G0218R0049. The scope of work involves measuring both porosity and permeability of core samples using gas-injection porosimetry, also referred to as gas expansion. This acquisition is categorized under NAICS code 541380 for Testing Laboratories and Services and PSC code R. The procurement is conducted as a Request for Proposal following FAR Part 13 and Part 15 procedures.

Technical specifications clarify that the core samples originate from an aquifer where the water is relatively fresh, with total dissolved solid concentrations and salinity levels that do not exceed 1996 EPA primary drinking-water standards. Because of these conditions, the samples can be oven dried for analysis. The solicitation process includes three total attachments, including the primary solicitation PDF and supplemental information posted to FedConnect on August 21 and August 23, 2018.

All proposals must be submitted via email to Donald Downey by the response deadline of August 28, 2018. The notice was originally published on August 21, 2018, and was updated on August 23, 2018, to provide responses to marketplace questions concerning sample extraction and drying procedures. All requirements for preparation and submission are detailed in the formal solicitation documentation.

Original Description

Amendment 0002. The purpose of Amendment 0002 is to answer Questions/comments 01 from the marketplace. QUESTION/COMMENTS 01: I'm assuming that since these samples are coming from an aquifer that the brine salinity is pretty fresh? I didnt notice any mention of extracting the plugs prior to making the permeability and porosity measurements so wanted to confirm. Since these samples need to be handled carefully, we might be able to just oven dry them if the brine is fresh. ANSWER 01: The cores that would be submitted for porisity and permeability analyses does not exceed 1996 EPA primary drinking-water standards (MCLs) for analyzed constituents and the aquifer in this area has relatively low total dissolved solid (TDS) concentrations (salinity). Wells to the south do have higher tds. Therefore, the waters in the drillholes are relatively fresh and the samples can be oven dried. Amendment 0001. This Solicitation Notice is to announce the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has a requirement to provide petrophysical analyses services to measure both porosity and permeability using gas-injection porosimetry (also called gas expansion), in accordance with the FedConnect solicitation. The solicitation reference number is 140G0218R0049 and is being issued as a Request for Proposal (RFP) at www.fedconnect.net. The policies contained in FAR Part 13, in conjunction with the policies and procedures for solicitation evaluation and award prescribed in Part 15, as appropriate, shall be used for this acquisition. A copy of this solicitation may be accessed by clicking on the FedConnect Link below, under "Additional Info." All requirements for preparation, submission, and receipt of proposals contained in the solicitation shall be adhered to. Questions/comments received within the 5 calendar days prior to Responses Due By Date, may be determined untimely and may not receive a response. All responses must be submitted via e-mail to Don Downey, [email protected].
