--SERCEL MINI GI AIR GUN & SPARE PARTS

The United States Geological Survey, Geology, Coastal & Marine Geology Team located in Santa Cruz, CA intends to make a non-competitive award to Sercel Inc, located in Houston, TX for the Sercel Mini 60 Cubic inch (30/30) Generator-Injector (GI) air gun, and miscellaneous spare parts. The specific instrument requested has dual chamber technology in which a primary generator chamber discharges a pulse of compressed air into the water, followed a few milliseconds later by the secondary injector chamber. Generator-Injector (GI) air guns are manufactured and patented by Sercel, Inc. No other known manufacturers make air guns with this generator-injector design. To maintain the necessary consistency of method and interpretation of data, the new instrument must be compatible with existing equipment. Other interested concerns having the ability to meet the USGS requirement may submit a capabilities statement to the Contracting Officer no later than the closing date of this announcement at 3:00 PM EST. All submissions will be evaluated to determine if competitive opportunities exist. All responses must be in writing by email to the Contract Officer at [email protected] The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 213112
