The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has issued a combined synopsis/solicitation (Number 140G0226Q0113) for a firm-fixed price contract to provide professional laboratory services for the validation of the antimycin A (ANT) high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. This requirement, categorized under NAICS code 541380 for Testing Laboratories and Services, is a small business set-aside. The selected contractor will be responsible for providing all necessary plant, equipment, labor, and materials to validate the HPLC-DAD instrument method and create standard calibration curves for four antimycin A homologs. All work must be performed at an independent, certified laboratory in strict compliance with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) standards, and the contractor must demonstrate a history of performing GLP studies for products regulated by the FDA and EPA. The period of performance is 90 days from the date of the signed purchase order. The government will award the contract to the responsible offeror whose proposal is deemed most advantageous based on a best-value determination.

Technical approach, experience, and past performance are considered of equal importance and are significantly more important than price. Proposals must be submitted via email to Mary Beth Wilson no later than September 21, 2026, at 5:00 PM EDT. Submissions must include a completed SF18, documentation regarding evaluation factors, and a formal statement regarding the acceptance of the solicitation's terms and conditions.
