B--GROUNDWATER MODELINGThe U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey, intends to award a sole source purchase order to the KBIC Natural Resources Department for the compilation of historical hydrologic data and associated modeling support related to groundwater and streamflow within the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community L’Anse Reservation and surrounding basins. This action is justified under FAR Subpart 12.102(a) as a commercial product or service acquisition at or below the Simplified Acquisition Threshold, with market research confirming KBIC as the only source capable of providing the required datasets and irreplaceable local knowledge regarding wetlands, streamflow continuity, and flowing wells. The effort requires the submission of machine-readable hydrologic records spanning from 1950 to 2026, including groundwater elevations and streamflow rates with precise geographic coordinates and collection dates, delivered in .csv, Excel, or shapefile formats. In addition to data compilation, the contractor must actively participate in quarterly check-in calls and iterative technical reviews with USGS modelers to refine model accuracy using tribal expertise. The procurement is conducted under NAICS code 541360, with a size standard of $28.5 million in average annual receipts, and responses are solicited exclusively through a capability statement submitted via email to Lisa Williams by the specified deadline. No formal solicitation exists, and this notice is purely for informational and market research purposes; the government retains full discretion to proceed with sole source award based on submitted information. All respondents must be registered in SAM.gov with an active Unique Entity ID and must represent their size and socioeconomic status accurately, including eligibility for Indian Small Business Economic Enterprise status, though no formal evaluation factors, pricing, or contract line items are established at this stage. Physical packaging, delivery terms, payment details, and contracting officer roles are not defined as this is not a solicitation for bid or proposal but a market research notice to verify the uniqueness of the capability and confirm the necessity of a sole source award.

B-- BOEM Study-Sand, sediments and critical mineralsThis contract supports the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management’s (BOEM) objective to identify, characterize, and document offshore sand, sediment, and potential critical mineral resources in federal waters along Southwest Florida, specifically targeting areas off Sarasota, Charlotte, Lee, and Collier Counties. The requirement is structured as a Time-and-Materials (T&M) solicitation with a Not-to-Exceed (NTE) ceiling price, issued under FAR Part 12 as a commercial services procurement, and is designated as a 100% Total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 541360 for Geophysical Surveying and Mapping Services. The scope includes the development of a reconnaissance-level investigation plan consistent with the USGS Science Data Lifecycle Model, acquisition of approximately 300 line-miles of geophysical survey data, and collection of 75 vibracore or rotary boring samples—each requiring at least 80% recovery—with 75 samples to be analyzed for critical minerals. Data must be processed, interpreted, and formatted for ingestion into the Marine Minerals Information System (MMIS), and all deliverables, including final reports and digital files, must meet strict quality standards for accuracy, clarity, consistency, and editability by the Government. Performance is expected over a two-year period from the award date, with quarterly progress reports, meeting minutes, and a final summary report required for submission via electronic means to the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). The contractor must comply with BOEM’s mandatory mitigation protocols and NTL 2005-G07 for archaeological considerations, while adhering to all cybersecurity, accessibility, and environmental requirements.

Subcontracting is strictly limited under FAR 52.219-14, and the contractor must maintain Small Business eligibility throughout performance. Payments are processed monthly in arrears via the U.S. Treasury’s Invoice Processing Platform (IPP), in accordance with the Prompt Payment Act. All submissions must be accompanied by certifications regarding ownership, registration in SAM.gov, prohibition of inverted corporations, and compliance with socioeconomic, labor, and security provisions, and any significant changes exceeding 10% in labor, materials, or subcontractors require prior COR approval. The Government will evaluate proposals based on technical approach, past performance, and price, with technical and past performance collectively weighted more heavily than price, though award will be made to the
