About this award
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has awarded a $53,100 firm fixed-price purchase order to Aquatic Biology Associates Inc. (ABA), a small disadvantaged and woman-owned business, to analyze approximately 180 invertebrate drift samples collected from the Willamette River Basin. Under this Total Small Business set-aside contract, ABA will provide specialized laboratory services including sorting invertebrates from debris, conducting expert taxonomic identification, enumerating organisms by taxonomic groups and life stages, and characterizing size distributions of sub-samples. The analytical work supports USGS ecohydraulic modeling efforts designed to predict juvenile Chinook salmon habitat and growth potential in the region. The contract runs from February 2, 2026 through February 1, 2027, with work performed at USGS facilities in Cook, Washington.
ABA's selection reflects its established expertise in aquatic macroinvertebrate analysis and prior experience with federal agencies including the Forest Service and Department of the Interior. The solicitation prioritized technical capability and past performance significantly over price, with particular weight given to vendors with demonstrated experience analyzing samples from the Willamette River Basin—a qualification ABA appears to meet based on its contract history. This award represents part of the USGS's broader aquatic resource assessment and fisheries research mission under civilian agency funding.
