Intent to Award - Geosoft motaj MAGMAP software

The US Geological Survey (USGS) has a requirement for a firm-fixed price Purchase Order (PO) to Geosoft Inc., a developer and manufacturer of software for exploration industries, government and the earth sciences, specializing in: earth mapping, earth modeling, GIS mapping, exploration information management and unexploded ordnance (UXO) detection. The PO is for the USGS Office of Acquisition and Grants requirement for geophysical data management tools with MAGMAP filtering technology (Oasis montajTM) which will enhance gridded data sets through geophysical and mathematical filters. The USGS is aware of no other source that can provide the above. Therefore, it intends to make an award to Vista Clara Inc. unless it is contacted by any vendor who believes they have similar technical expertise and can provide the same service. Vendors are invited to contact the Contract Specialist, Chris Kuhn, via email at [email protected] no later than 12:00 PM EDT, Monday, May 29, 2017 with an affirmative answer. Sole Source Justification States the Following Part: Over twenty years ago the USGS standardized to the above mentioned software for geophysical processing. USGS geophysical scientists use this software product exclusively as it is the only software consistent with USGS software. The license applications allow for access to all desired data and a powerful set of mapping and analysis tools, within one dynamic, 3D exploration environment. These integrated productivity tools maximize the ability to make strategic use of large volumes of geoscience data. The geophysical study requires MAGMAP filtering which will enhance gridded datasets through geophysical and mathematical filters. In addition, Gravity/Magnetic interpretation will enable automatic location and depth determination for gridded magnetic and gravity data. GEOSOFT is the exclusive manufacturer, developer and distributor of Geosoft oasis montajTM, montajTM MAGMAP Filtering, montajTM Geophysics, and montajTM Grav/Mag Interpretation by GEOSOFT. GEOSOFT is the sole source supplier for these software licenses.
