R--deformation mapping using high-resolution Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Ra

This is a notice of intent to solicit from a single source.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), intends to award a purchase order with Aloft Sensing, Inc., Ann Arbor, Michigan for deformation mapping using high-resolution Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar as described in the attached Statement of Work.

Award will be made in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b) and the procedures at FAR Part 12 entitled, Acquisition of Commercial Items and FAR Part 13 entitled, Simplified Acquisition Procedures. Aloft Sensing, Inc. is, to the USGS knowledge, the only source that has developed a UAS-based InSAR system with the following specifications required: sub-millimeter surface deformation precision at sub-meter level spatial resolution, up to 100s of meters in wide-area coverage, deployable from a Part 107 UAS for safe remote and ready access.

The purpose of this notice is to satisfy the requirements of FAR Subpart 5.2. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes. However, all responsible parties may submit a capability statement by the closing date of this announcement which shall be considered by the agency. No solicitation will be issued. A determination not to compete this action based upon responses received is in the sole discretion of the Government.

The NAICS code for this action is 541370 Surveying and Mapping (except Geophysical) Services with the associated standard size of $19 million
