POC: Tangee Brookie, U. S. Geological Survey, Box 25046, MS-204A, Denver, CO 80225, e-mail: [email protected] The U. S. Geological Survey, Geologic Division, has a requirement for a database with extensive worldwide coverage that contains organic geochemical data on oil and gas samples from exploratory wells and producing fields. The database must be in digital form with precise location information such that data can be plotted on maps using Geographic Information System computer software. The database shall include information on over 4,000 oils and 3,000 gases from exploratory wells and producing fields from around the world. Access to such database is critical to the identification and mapping of petroleum systems for the World Energy and National Oil and Gas Assessments, and is required by the USGS to provide adequate coverage of geochemical data worldwide. Based on information at this time, and in accordance with 41 U.S.C. 253(1), implemented by FAR 6.302-1, the Government considers the services specified as a sole source from Geomark Research, 9748 Whithorn Drive, Houston TX, 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 services 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, 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 Numbered Note 22.
