Contract Overview

Solicitation details, issuing organization, response deadlines, documents, and interested companies for this government contract opportunity.

AI Contract Overview

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) Mineral Assessment Program is collaborating with Carnegie Minerals, PLC through a Cooperative Research & Development Agreement (CRADA) to enhance modeling techniques for mineral deposits, focusing on updated mineral suites. The initiative aims to leverage diagnostic, textural, geophysical, and geochemical signatures of mineral resources exposed near the Earth's surface to provide high-quality information on both domestic and international mineral resources. Unlike traditional procurement contracts, this partnership involves mutual contributions of funds, equipment, and in-kind services from both parties to advance research efforts. This agreement reflects USGS's commitment to applied research and the development of innovative methods in mineral assessment. The Department of the Interior’s Office of Acquisition Grants-National manages the engagement, with the office located in Reston, Virginia. The collaboration serves as a platform for technology transfer and research enhancement, with designated contacts available for further inquiries regarding the scientific and technology transfer components of the agreement.

Full Description

The United States Geological Survey's (USGS) Mineral Assessment Program conducts assessments and applied research on the developing new techniques that can provide quality information about domestic and international mineral resources. When exposed at or near the surface of the earth, mineral resources produce diagnostic, textural geophysical and geochemical signatures. USGS is entering into a Cooperative Research & Development Agreement (CRADA) with Carnegie Minerals, PLC to test and improve its modeling capability of mineral deposits for updated suites of minerals. This is not a procurement, the partners in a CRADA contribute funds, equipment and in-kind services to the research effort. For more information on the science effort contact Andrew E. Grosz, +1 (555) 000-0000; email contact@example.gov. For information on Technology Transfer mechanisms contact Julia M. Giller, Technology Transfer Office, +1 (555) 000-0000 or contact@example.gov.
