The USGS Cooperative Research Units in Reston, Virginia, requesting a jetboat, motor, and trailer combination under solicitation number 140G0126Q0178, seeks to acquire a vessel equal to or larger than 18 feet in length with a 60-inch bottom width, powered by a 4-stroke Mercury 80hp jet engine, and a trailer equipped with all necessary towing accessories including tie straps, lights, and a winch.

The contract requires delivery of the jetboat, trailer, and motor within 45 days of award, with each item subject to government inspection and acceptance before payment. Nonconforming items must be repaired or replaced at no additional cost to the government, and acceptable remedies for uncorrectable defects include equitable price adjustments. Invoicing must be submitted electronically via the Treasury’s Internet Payment Platform System, with strict formatting requirements including contract number, line item, description, quantity, unit price, shipping details, and taxpayer identification number where applicable. Payment will follow the Prompt Payment Act and 5 CFR Part 1315 regulations.

66--Indefinite Qty Contract for Hydrological Equipment
Solicitation # 140G0126Q0115
This solicitation, numbered 140G0126Q0115, is a full and open request for quotations under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) Part 12 for an indefinite quantity contract to supply hydrological equipment to the U.S. Geological Survey’s Hydrological Instrumentation Facility in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The contract period extends from September 13, 2026, to September 12, 2031, with no option periods, and delivery is FOB destination, meaning the vendor assumes all costs and risks until the equipment reaches the specified delivery point. Quotations must be submitted via email to Daniel Galvin at daniel_galvin@ios.doi.gov by 11:00 AM Eastern Time on August 12, 2026, and must include pricing structured as fixed-price per unit for equipment and fully burdened hourly rates for calibration and repair services, as detailed in Attachment 1 – Schedule of Supplies. The NAICS code is 334513, with a size standard of 750 employees, and vendors must be registered in SAM.gov to be eligible for award, which is anticipated for August 19, 2026. The scope encompasses a comprehensive range of field instrumentation including non-contact radar discharge measurement systems, tipping bucket rain gauges, cableway gaging systems, bubbler orifice chambers, snow melt analyzers, and associated accessories, all with specified model equivalents and detailed packaging requirements such as individually boxed orifices, lockable carrying cases with foam inserts, and government-supplied barcode labels applied post-award. The solicitation incorporates numerous FAR clauses by reference or attachment, including those addressing indefinite quantity ordering, trade agreements, payment by electronic funds transfer, whistleblower rights, and prohibitions on contracting with inverted domestic corporations and entities requiring internal confidentiality agreements. Critical deviations from standard FAR provisions have been applied to several clauses effective May 2026, particularly those related to System for Award Management maintenance, subcontracting, FOB destination terms, and representations and certifications. A unique and significant requirement mandates that contractors prohibit any racially discriminatory diversity, equity, and inclusion activities across recruitment, employment, contracting, and program participation, and must flow this clause down to all subcontracts unless performance occurs outside the United States. Offerors must submit technical descriptions sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the salient characteristics defined in Attachment 2, along with up to three relevant past performance contracts including
