Solicitation # 140GG027Q0012
Solicitation 140GG027Q0012 is a firm fixed price contract issued by the USGS Contracting Activity within the Department of the Interior for expert veterinary services. The primary objective is to support waterfowl research in the San Francisco Bay by surgically implanting GPS-GSM transmitters into up to 100 after second year male and female diving ducks and providing necessary postoperative care. These surgeries must be completed within 10 hours of capture, and the contractor is also responsible for collecting blood samples for contaminant analysis and advising support crews. Services will be performed at the Don Edwards National Wildlife Refuge in Newark, California, and the San Francisco Bay Estuary Field Station in Moffett Field, California. The contract consists of a base year from October 30, 2026, to October 29, 2027, with one option year extending to October 29, 2028. To be eligible, the veterinarian must be licensed in California and demonstrate the ability to independently perform diving duck implant surgery. Award decisions will be based on a tradeoff process where technical capability, experience, and past performance are collectively weighted approximately equal to price. Offerors must submit a signed SF-18, a firm fixed price quote, and technical documentation, including at least two references and personnel resumes, to Contracting Officer Anthony Berry. Invoicing is managed electronically through the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Invoice Processing Platform System.

B--USGS Detrital zircon U/Pb, Hf, and T/REE analyses
Solicitation # 140GG027Q0015
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is seeking specialized analytical services for detrital zircon U/Pb, Hf, and T/REE analyses on rock and modern sediment samples. This work supports multiple scientific initiatives, specifically the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska Petroleum Systems Projects. The scope of work includes U-Pb geochronologic analysis for 100 to 300 zircons per sample, with the potential for 600 or more analyses upon request, followed by SC-ICPMS measurements of T/REE and Hf isotopic concentrations. Deliverables consist of formatted Excel spreadsheets containing age data, isotope ratios, and concentration measurements, accompanied by annotated BSE map images or data files indicating analysis locations. The contract requires the service provider to be a professional with at least a Master's degree in analytical geochemistry and continental tectonics. Technical performance must adhere to specific protocols from Gehrels et al. and Sundell et al., utilizing nondestructive methods with strict reproducibility standards for isotope ratios. The total performance period for all samples shall not exceed one year, with individual orders typically completed within one to three months. The USGS intends to award this contract to the University of Arizona LaserChron Lab as a sole source, though other qualified vendors were invited to respond by November 4, 2026. Final acceptance of the work is managed by a USGS Technical Liaison based on the completion of all required geochronologic measurements.
