South Carolina Water Science Center

The U.S. Geological Survey South Carolina Water Science Center, a civilian sub-agency within the Department of the Interior, funds scientific and technical work supporting water-resource assessment, monitoring, and research in South Carolina. The center procures contracts for hydrological data collection, water-quality analysis, and related field and laboratory services that inform state and federal water-resource policy and management decisions.

The South Carolina Water Science Center has awarded 52 federal contracts since 2007, with combined potential value of $1.5 million and combined dollars obligated of $1.5 million (100% of potential value). Contract award activity peaked in 2010 with 20 awards and in 2015 with 18 awards; subsequent years saw lower volume with 11 awards in 2016, 1 award in 2014, and 2 awards in 2007. The most recent recorded award closed on March 16, 2016, indicating no active contracting activity on file for approximately a decade. The center has worked with 28 distinct prime contractors across the portfolio history; with limited recent activity and no recent contract awards on record, current competitive positioning cannot be characterized from available data. Set-aside designations are minimal, with 92 percent of awards issued without set-aside (48 awards) and 8 percent awarded to small business (4 awards), reflecting the center's reliance on open competition and specialized technical vendors.
