Special Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Procurement.

THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTE.

THIS IS A NOTICE OF THE GOVERNMENT'S INTENT TO ISSUE A SOLE SOURCE AWARD.

This Notice is to announce that the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Geology, Geophysics, and Geochemistry Science Center is proposing to negotiate a contract with JEOL USA, Inc. on a sole source basis for the purchase of a demo unit JEOL JSM-IT800(HL) in-lens field emission gun scanning electron microscope (FESEM).

The proposed action is for products/services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). The reason justifying this sole source procurement is that the Government believes only one responsible source can provide the products/services that will satisfy the agency's requirement.
