- Description
- Concerns having the ability to furnish the services described herein are requested to give written notification (including the telephone number for a point of contact) to the procuring office above with 45 calendar days from the date of this synopsis. The U.S. Geological Survey, Geologic Discipline, Crustal Imaging and Characterization team, has a requirement for an integrated laser and beam delivery system to activate samples for 40Ar/ 39Ar geochronologic analysis. Lasers shall be Krypton-Fluoride and Argon-Fluoride Excimer Lasers and integrated systems with a beam delivery system. The system shall ensure the delivery of a very small diameter laser beam of sufficient power to irradiated geologic samples within a small ultra-high vacuum sample of chamber. Also, the laser shall ensure release of argon from all types of geologic samples, and avoid technical artifacts from partial heating of the area near the beam impact site that will destroy the accuracy of ages from small spots. Based on the information available at this time, and in accordance with 41 U.S.C. 253 (c) (1), implemented by FAR 6.302-1, the Government considers the items specified as a sole source from Potomac Photonics, Lanham, Maryland, and proposes to negotiated a contract with that firm. However should additional sources be identified, they will be considered. Firms who feel that they can furnish the required item/services or its functional equivalent (based upon the criteria specified herein) are invited to submit in writing an affirmative response to this announcement. An affirmative response would include literature, brochures 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 document exists, request for such document without accompanying information will be considered non-responsive to this request without further consideration. This notice may represent the Government's only official notice to the procurement. This is open to both large and small business. See note 22.
