- Concerns having the ability to furnish the services described herein are requested to give written notification (including telephone number for a point of contact) to the procurement office above within 45 days from the data of this synopsis. The U.S. Geological Survey, CR MR Team, Denver, CO has a requirement for use of the Sensitive High Resolution Ion Microprobe (SHRIMP) equipment for determining U-Pb ages of zircons. Instrument must be capable of measuring U and Pb isotopic ratios on 20um spots in individual zircon grains for U-Pb geochronology. This is used for dating many samples of multiply-metamorphosed Middle Proterozic rocks, plus detrital zirocons from quartzite samples by ion microprobe. The government considers the service specified as a sole source from Research School of Earth Sciences PRISE, Australian National University, Canberra, Australia, and proposes to negotiate a purchase order with this firm on that basis. However, should additional sources be identified, they will be considered. Firms who feel that they can furnish the required supplies and services are invited to submit in writing an affirmative response to this announcement, and such other materials which correspond to the required items stated herein. This information will be evaluated and used to determine if competitive opportunities exist. Since no solicitation documents exists, request for such documents without accompanying information will be considered non-responsive to this request without further consideration.
