AI Contract Overview

Show more

The contract seeks to perform preliminary U-Pb isotopic screening of separated zircon grains using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry to identify suitable volcanic zircons for subsequent high-precision geochronologic dating. The work focuses on rapid, efficient analysis to filter viable samples from a larger population, ensuring that only the most promising zircons are selected for more resource-intensive dating procedures. This screening process is critical for optimizing timelines and reducing costs in geological dating projects by eliminating unsuitable material early in the workflow. The solicitation is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541380 and was posted on June 18, 2026, with a response deadline of June 26, 2026. It is managed by the Office of Acquisition Grants under the Department of the Interior, though no specific point of contact, location, or set-aside details are provided. The work is expected to be performed in an analytical laboratory setting equipped with LA-ICP-MS technology, requiring expertise in geochronology, sample preparation, isotopic data interpretation, and quality control protocols for accurate uranium-lead measurements.
