The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), EROS Data Center (EDC) Photographic Laboratory, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, has a requirement for a Durst auto-focus/auto-enlarging vertical enlarger for custom enlargements from declassified satellite photography and other aerial and satellite film sources. The declassified satellite photography film inputs range in size and length from 70mm to 9.5" in width and the length of most input rolls is variable.

Based on information available at this time, and in accordance with 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1), implemented by FAR 5.302-1, the Government considers the specified supplies as a sole source from Durst-Pro-USA, Inc., 1600 NE 25th Avenue, Hillsboro, Oregon, and proposes to negotiate a contract with that 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 document exists, requests 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. See Note 22.
