Opportunity: XRF and Electronics Rack

The United States Geological Survey intends to make a non-competitive firm fixed price award to Geotech Limited, located in Daventry, UK for a Geotek XRF and Geotek Electronics rack. The Government requires an upgrade to the existing Geotek Multi-Sensor Core Logger (MSCL-S) in order to conduct down-core elemental analysis. Only Geotek can provide software upgrades, instrumentation, and electronics compatible with existing Government Geotek inventory. The addition of an XRF to the MSCL-S also requires replacing the existing and obsolete Geotek electronics rack to support all the existing MSCL sensors and the new XRF. A new electronics rack is required to drive all existing sensors on the MSCL-S and to control the XRF or any future sensors that the government may procure to enhance the existing Geotek MSCL Geotek maintains proprietary data rights to their equipment and software and have no authorized resellers.
