About this award
The U.S. Geological Survey awarded a $32,850 firm fixed-price purchase order to Geosep Services, LLC for apatite fission-track and uranium-lead thermochronometric analyses on geological samples from the Kuskokwim Mountains region in Alaska. The Moscow, Idaho-based contractor will perform mineral separation on 20 bulk rock samples and conduct 25 total analyses to determine rock exhumation timing and rates for ore deposit formation modeling and mineral prospectivity mapping. Deliverables include Excel spreadsheets containing raw fission-track counts, kinetic parameters, elemental measurements, fission-track lengths, and final calculated ages, with completion required by December 31, 2026. The contract was awarded without a small business set-aside designation.
Geosep Services, a specialized geological laboratory with over 30 years of experience, is well-positioned to execute this technical work through its existing $1.3 million indefinite delivery contract with the USGS Geology, Energy & Minerals Science Center. The company has demonstrated expertise in advanced geochronological dating techniques, including conventional track counting, californium-252 irradiation methods, and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry analysis. This award supports the USGS's energy, minerals, and earth science research objectives and represents typical task order activity under the company's existing five-year IDC vehicle, which was awarded on July 1, 2021.
