About this award

The U.S. Geological Survey Pacific Coastal & Marine Science Center awarded a purchase order to University of California Irvine on August 26, 2026, for radiocarbon analysis services with a ceiling value of $73,830.00. Work will be performed at UCI's laboratory in Irvine, California through October 1, 2030. The order covers accelerator mass spectrometer analysis of approximately 214 organic samples—plant fragments, bulk peat, and charcoal—collected from sediment cores along the U.S. West Coast and Alaska to support tsunami and earthquake recurrence studies for USGS National Seismic Hazard Maps. Analysis must deliver high precision and accuracy within 2 or 15 years for samples less than approximately 11,000 years old, with capability to analyze samples as small as 15 micrograms of carbon. Required measurements include D14C, fraction modern, uncalibrated 14C age, and 1-sigma error assessments per international radiocarbon standards. The order originated from a full and open solicitation posted August 12, 2026, with quotes due August 18, 2026.
