information are multi-client 

(speculative) data sets available directly 

from geophysical contractors or 

exclusive (proprietary) data sets 

specially processed for or by bidders. 

In addition, the GDIS should clearly 

identify the data type (2–D or 3–D, prestack or post-stack and time or depth); 

areal extent (i.e., number of line miles 

for 2D or number of blocks for 3D) and 

migration algorithm (Wave Equation 

Migration, Reverse Time Migration, etc.) 

of the data and information. The 

statement must also include the name, 

phone number and full address of a 

contact person, and an alternate, who 

are both knowledgeable about the 

information and data listed and 

available for 30 days post-sale, the 

processing company, date processing 

was completed, owner of the original 

data set (who initially acquired the 

data), original data survey name and 

permit number. The MMS reserves the 

right to query about alternate data sets 

and to quality check and compare the 

listed and alternative data sets to 

determine which data set most closely 

meets the needs of the fair market value 

determination process. 

The statement must also identify each 

block upon which the bidder submitted 

a bid or participated as a partner in a 

bid, but for which it did not use 

enhanced or reprocessed pre- or poststack geophysical data and information 

as part of the decision to bid or to 

participate in the bid. The GDIS must be 

submitted, even if no enhanced 

geophysical data and information were 

used in bid preparation for the tract. 

In the event your company supplies 

any type of data to MMS, your company 

must meet the following requirements to 

get reimbursed: 

1. Your company must be registered 

with the Central Contractor Registration 

(CCR). The initial registration is valid 

for one year and must be updated 

annually thereafter. The Web site for 

registering is: http://www.ccr.gov. This 

is a requirement that was implemented 

on October 1, 2003, and requires all 

entities doing business with the 

Government to complete a business 

profile in the CCR. It must be updated 

annually. Payments are made 

electronically based on the information 

contained in the CCR. Therefore, if your 

company is not actively registered in the 

CCR, MMS will not be able to reimburse 

or pay your company for any data 

supplied. 

2. Your company must complete an 

on-line application for your 

Representations (Reps) and 

Certifications (Certs) at http:// 

orca.bpn.gov. ORCA (On-line 

Representations and Certifications 

Application) is an E-Government 

initiative. Even though your company 

may have never provided Reps and 

Certs previously, they are now 

mandated in order to do business with 

the Government or receive 

reimbursement. 

Please also refer to the Final NOS 210 

Package for more detail concerning 

submission of the GDIS, making the data 

available to MMS following the lease 

sale, preferred format, reimbursement 

for costs, and confidentiality. 

Force Majeure: The Regional Director 

of MMS Gulf of Mexico Region has the 

discretion to change any date, time, 

and/or location specified in the Final 

NOS 210 Package in case of a force 

majeure event which the Regional 

Director deems may interfere with the 

carrying out of a fair and proper lease 

sale process. Such events may include, 

but are not limited to, natural disasters 

(earthquakes, hurricanes, and floods), 

wars, riots, acts of terrorism, fire, 

strikes, civil disorder or other events of 

a similar nature. In case of such events, 

bidders should call (504) 736–0557 or 

access our Web site at: http:// 

www.gomr.mms.gov for information 

about any changes.
