AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is seeking proposals for laboratory analytical services to support its Water Resources Discipline’s groundwater dating efforts. The contract requires the provision of all necessary equipment, labor, and materials to analyze dissolved gases including Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, along with the 3He/4He isotope ratio of dissolved Helium and dissolved Tritium in water samples. These analyses are crucial for determining groundwater age, an important element in managing and understanding the nation’s water resources. The services will support various national and regional water programs such as the National Water Quality Assessment Program and the Groundwater Resources Program. This procurement is issued as a Request for Proposal (RFP) under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15 framework for contracting by negotiation. The contract will be a firm fixed price, Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) type, initially covering a base year with four one-year option periods. Proposals are open to all responsible sources registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) with a valid Dun & Bradstreet number. The solicitation, identified by the number 10HQSS0025, is anticipated to be available for viewing or download online, with proposal submissions due about three weeks after issuance. The award date is expected around late August 2010. The USGS reserves the right to cancel the solicitation if necessary, and no paper copies or fax requests will be accepted.

Full Description

Background:The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is a world leader in the natural and physical sciences. The USGS provides reliable scientific information to describe and understand the earth; minimize the loss of lives and property from natural disasters; manage biological, water, mineral and energy resources; and enhance and protect our quality of life. The Water Resources Discipline (WRD) of the USGS collects information needed to understand the Nation's water resources. Groundwater dating is being used widely in the USGS, WRD, through national programs such as the National Water Quality Assessment Program, the Groundwater Resources Program, and in numerous State and local water resources investigations conducted by our Water Science Centers. One of the most important tools for groundwater dating is based on the radioactive decay of tritium to helium-3 in groundwater. Further information on the groundwater dating capabilities of the USGS is discussed at http://water.usgs.gov/lab. Basic Requirement: The USGS has a requirement for non-personal, laboratory analytical services to provide all plant equipment, labor, and materials necessary for the analysis of dissolved Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, the 3He/4He isotope ratio of dissolved Helium, and dissolved Tritium in water to calculate age. Important General Requirements:This procurement is a "Request for Proposal" (RFP) and is subject to the provision of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15, Contracting by Negotiation.
