34--Proprietary Infrasound Wind Reduction Devices

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) intends to award a non-competitive purchase order for proprietary infrasound wind reduction devices. The devices are required for monitoring active volcanoes around the world and must be transportable, accurate, and have a high signal-to-noise ratio. The custom-made devices have eight alternating hinges that allow them to reduce their volume by 10X for transportation without compromising strength, durability, or functionality. The devices are vital for the USGS Volcano Disaster Assistance Program (VDAP) and require less than 0.1 man hours to deploy. • The devices must be able to reduce background noise and increase signal power. • The devices must be transportable and have a high signal-to-noise ratio. • The devices must be able to be deployed quickly, in less than 0.1 man hours. • The devices are custom-made and have proprietary engineering drawings. • The USGS is seeking a sole source provider for these devices, but other interested concerns may submit a capabilities statement.
