The U.S. Geological Survey awarded a purchase order to Verder Scientific Inc. on September 24, 2026, for one Camsizer 3D instrument with data evaluation unit, with a ceiling value of $91,283.00 and firm fixed-price terms. This is a sole-source, non-competitive procurement; the USGS determined that Microtrac Inc. (the original equipment manufacturer) is the only provider of the Camsizer 3D instrument offering the specific combination of analytical capabilities required for sediment analysis—including 2D and 3D particle morphology, sphericity, and roundness analysis across 20 micrometers to 30 millimeters (2D) and 150 micrometers to 20 millimeters (3D)—at analysis speeds of 2–5 minutes per sample. Performance will occur in Newtown, Pennsylvania, with delivery required to Reston, Virginia within 30 days of award. Ultimate completion is November 24, 2026.
