AI Contract Overview
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Office of Acquisition Grants is soliciting firm-fixed-price quotations for laboratory analytical services to perform quantitative characterization and identification of microplastic particles in environmental samples. This total small business set-aside under NAICS 541380 supports the Chickasha project, involving the analysis of approximately 20 to 45 samples annually from agricultural fields, wastewater treatment plants, and surface waters in Oklahoma, Texas, and Galveston Bay. The contract structure includes a base period from October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027, with four subsequent option years extending the total duration to September 30, 2031. The scope of work requires the contractor to perform all principal analytical functions in-house, including sample extraction using a 4-mesh sieve, chemical oxidation, and characterization via optical, fluorescent, and Raman microscopy. Strict quality assurance protocols are mandated, including the use of specific polyethylene and cellulose acetate internal standards, weekly atmosphere quality checks, and Raman microscope calibration using pure silicon. Award will be based on a best-value comparative evaluation where non-price factors, specifically technical capability, key personnel qualifications, and QA/QC programs, are significantly more important than price. Quotations from brokers or pass-through entities are explicitly deemed technically unacceptable.
