- Description
- Concerns having the ability to furnish the services described herein are required to give written notification (including telephone number for a point of contact) to the procurement office above within 10 days from the date of this synopsis. The U.S. Geological Survey, GD-ESP Team, Denver, CO has a requirement for accurate luminescence dates on fine-grained eolian sediments by green-light stimulated luminescence for base year and two option years. Luminescence analysis shall include field and laboratory measurements of U, Th, K concentrations in the host sediment; calculation of dose rate; laboratory estimates of soil moisture; laboratory analysis of green light simulated luminescence on quartz separates from samples; and calculation of ages using data obtained in listed items above. The deposits require OSL analysis by the same green luminescence method used successfully in earlier studies to determine the ages of the deposits. Based on information available at this time, and in accordance with 41 U.S.C. 253 (c) (1), implemented by FAR 5.30201, the Government considers the services specified as a sole source from the University of Illinois-Chicago Luminescence Laboratory, Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Chicago, IL, 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 services are invited to submit in writing 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. This notice may represent the Government's only official notice of this procurement.
