This addendum to FAR 52.212-1 outlines the instructions for submitting offers for a government solicitation. Offers must be submitted electronically to Mindie Dixon at mdixon@usgs.gov by the due date. The submission requires one electronic copy organized into four tabs: Tab A for the Offer Form with original signature and administrative data, Tab B for detailed pricing on the SF 1449, Tab C for completed FAR clauses if not updated in SAM.gov, and Tab D for evaluation factor responses. The evaluation factors include providing 60 line-miles of 2D seismic reflection data in SEG-Y format with pre-stack time migration, ensuring the data is located within the northern portion of Cook Inlet, Alaska, and including complete and accurate navigation metadata.
This government Request for Proposal (RFP) (Solicitation Number 140G0125Q0225) seeks bids for "Digital Reprocessed 2D Reflection Seismic Data" for the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska. Administered by USGS OAG Reston Acquisition Branch, the acquisition is unrestricted with a NAICS code of 541360 and a size standard of $28.5 million. Offers are due by September 18, 2025, at 10:00 AM MD, with inquiries directed to Mindie Dixon. The RFP outlines critical terms, conditions, and clauses, including F.o.b. Destination, various FAR clauses (e.g., relating to whistleblower rights, reporting executive compensation, prohibition on ByteDance applications, Buy American, restrictions on foreign purchases, and combating trafficking in persons), and electronic invoicing via the IPP system. Offerors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) and comply with Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act (FASCSA) orders. The document also details instructions for offer submission, including technical descriptions, pricing, and required representations and certifications.
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) requires the acquisition of digital, reprocessed two-dimensional (2D) seismic data for the Alaska Basins and Petroleum Systems Project. This data is crucial for assessing undiscovered oil and gas resources, aligning with Executive Order 14153 and Secretarial Orders 3422 and 3512. The scope of work mandates the contractor to provide reprocessed 2D seismic data covering specific geographic areas within Alaska and adjacent lands to the west, including the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (NPRA). The data must be reprocessed using state-of-the-art technology from 2022 or later, incorporating advanced techniques such as pre-stack time migration and noise attenuation. Deliverables include reprocessed 2D seismic data in pre-stack time migration format, raw seismic data in SEG-Y (sgy) format, and complete navigation data. The USGS will not provide any government-furnished information; all data must be sourced and reprocessed by the contractor.
