R--TRITIUM ANALYSIS

The U.S. Geological Survey’s Office of Acquisition and Grants in Denver is conducting market research to identify qualified sources capable of providing non-personal analytical laboratory services for low-level tritium analysis in aqueous samples, such as those collected from groundwater monitoring wells and surface-water sites. The requirement is intended to support the National Water Quality Laboratory’s data-quality objectives and includes responsibilities for comprehensive documentation, metadata, and technical support for data users. This sources sought notice is not a solicitation, does not obligate the government to award a contract, and all costs associated with responding are borne by the submitter. Responses must be submitted by June 11, 2026 at 2:30 p.m. MST via email to the designated point of contact, and must be submitted separately from any future formal solicitation that may be issued. The North American Industry Classification System code for this requirement is 541380. The solicitation number is 140G0226R0013, and all potential vendors should note that no formal bid or proposal process is currently open. Any future contract opportunity will be publicly announced through SAM.gov or FedBizOpps, with no paper copies distributed. The point of contact for inquiries is Yvette Sornberger, reachable via email at yvette_sornberger@ios.doi.gov or by phone at 303-236-9332. Submitters are encouraged to provide detailed information on capabilities, methodologies, and experience relevant to tritium analysis and compliance with USGS data standards. Participation in this market research does not guarantee inclusion in any subsequent procurement process, and all future responses to actual solicitations will be treated as separate submissions.
