USGS RF Spectrum Survey

The US Geological Survey (USGS) is undertaking a project to assess its radio frequency (RF) spectrum usage, specifically focusing on equipment operating within the AWS-3 frequency bands. Congress has mandated and funded the USGS to vacate these AWS-3 frequencies due to their auctioning for commercial use. However, some USGS systems in these bands may not have been upgraded yet, potentially causing interference or compliance issues. This contract aims to identify those systems that still use the AWS-3 spectrum and require remediation or upgrades to ensure they no longer operate within those frequencies. The contract, titled "USGS RF Spectrum Survey," is forecasted under solicitation number USGS0070329594 and is classified under the NAICS code 541611, which pertains to administrative management and general management consulting services. The work will primarily be performed in Reston, and although the contract specifies an "Other Than Small Business" set-aside, further details on the organization type or specific address are not provided. The USGS is the awarding agency, and the Department of the Interior oversees the process. For additional information or inquiries, Sean Jones serves as both the point of contact and small business specialist.
