About this award
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Office of Acquisitions and Grants awarded a $40.25K firm fixed-price purchase order to Spectrum Petrographics Inc., a small business located in Vancouver, Washington, for the provision of standard and microprobe polished thin sections. The contract, awarded on March 7, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of March 4, 2027, supports the USGS minerals program research in Alaska's Yukon-Tanana upland region.

The contract is designated as a 100% small business set-aside and includes a base performance period with four potential one-year option periods, with final deliveries made to the USGS Alaska Science Center in Anchorage.

The company has maintained an exclusive relationship with the USGS since its SAM.gov registration in 2003, consistently delivering high-precision rock sample preparations for geological investigations. This award reflects the contractor's demonstrated technical capabilities and relevant experience in producing the specialized geological samples required to support federal scientific research initiatives.
