Notice of Intent to Sole Source for GEOTEK Ltd. Upgrade parts, installations and training In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services, the Department of Energy (DOE), National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) intends to negotiate and award a purchase order on a sole source basis to GEOTEK Ltd. to purchase the following parts for upgrade: 1. Multi-Sensor Core Logger (MSCL) Acquisition PC (Windows 11) 1 Qty. 2. Additional magnetic susceptibility loop sensor for MSCL-S (MS2C) 1 Qty. 3. MSCL Electronics 1 Qty. 4. Pair of ARC P-wave Transducers for whole plastic-lined unconsolidated sediment cores 1 Qty. 5. Core Boats for Rock Core Logging PQ and HQ (1 each) 2 Qty. 6. Gamma Density Measurement System - Cs-137 Source for MSCL-S and MSCL-SXZ 1 Qty. 7. Gamma Density Measurement System (MKII) - Detector for MSCL-S and MSCL-SXZ 1 Qty. 8. Packaging & Shipping 1 Qty. 9. Installation and Training: Geotek will provide 1 installation engineer who will come to site for 3 working days 1 Qty. In order to assure satisfactory operation of the existing NETL owned GeoTek Multi-Sensor Core Logger-Standard (MSCL-S) system, the parts for upgrades must be obtained from GEOTEK Ltd. for compatibility and warranty purposes. In addition, these upgrades require integration with GEOTEK proprietary hardware and software. No other vendors have access to this proprietary technology or the source code required to interface new components with the legacy system. As such, this is considered a sole source to GEOTEK Ltd. because, to the best of the NETL's knowledge, based on market research conducted GEOTEK Ltd. is the only known source that can provide these parts. No known potential alternate sources exist which could satisfy NETL's requirement. This notice of intent is not a request for quote/proposal. Any interested party that believes it is capable of meeting the NETL requirement described herein may identify themselves and must provide evidence of their capability to fulfill the requirement being requested by 5:00PM ET on June 26, 2026. Responses must be submitted in writing to the Contract Specialist, Arturo Manantan via email at arturo.manantan@netl.doe.gov no later than the time and date noted above. Telephone responses and requests will not be received. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based on responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
Background The Department of Energy (DOE), National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) intends to negotiate and award a purchase order on a sole source basis to GEOTEK Ltd. The goal of this contract is to procure upgrade parts, installations, and training for the existing NETL owned GeoTek Multi-Sensor Core Logger-Standard (MSCL-S) system. GEOTEK Ltd. is the only known source that can provide these parts due to their proprietary technology and integration requirements. Work Details The following items are to be purchased from GEOTEK Ltd.: 1. Multi-Sensor Core Logger (MSCL) Acquisition PC (Windows 11) – 1 Qty. 2. Additional magnetic susceptibility loop sensor for MSCL-S (MS2C) – 1 Qty. 3. MSCL Electronics – 1 Qty. 4. Pair of ARC P-wave Transducers for whole plastic-lined unconsolidated sediment cores – 1 Qty. 5. Core Boats for Rock Core Logging PQ and HQ (1 each) – 2 Qty. 6. Gamma Density Measurement System - Cs-137 Source for MSCL-S and MSCL-SXZ – 1 Qty. 7. Gamma Density Measurement System (MKII) - Detector for MSCL-S and MSCL-SXZ – 1 Qty. 8. Packaging & Shipping – 1 Qty. 9. Installation and Training: Geotek will provide 1 installation engineer who will come to site for 3 working days – 1 Qty. Period of Performance The period of performance includes the installation by GEOTEK's engineer over a span of 3 working days. Place of Performance The installation will take place at the NETL site where the existing GeoTek Multi-Sensor Core Logger-Standard (MSCL-S) system is located. Bidder Requirements Bidders must demonstrate capability to fulfill the requirement as specified, particularly in relation to compatibility with GEOTEK proprietary hardware and software. No other vendors have access to the necessary proprietary technology or source code required for integration. Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent, as NETL previously awarded Geotek contract 89243324PFE000817 (value $748,888) for an IRA-funded purchase of the Multi-Sensor Core Logger to non-destructively characterize rock cores. The current requirement is for upgrade parts, installation, and training for the existing NETL-owned GeoTek Multi-Sensor Core Logger-Standard (MSCL-S), including additional sensors and gamma density components that are intended to operate with the legacy MSCL system. The prior work centers on acquiring the same core logging platform, and the upgrades described here are consistent with a continuation of that system’s expansion and integration.
