The Department of the Interior's United States Geological Survey (USGS) Office of Acquisitions and Grants awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), a private non-profit research organization, with a ceiling value of $1,274,176. The contract is for WHOI to provide radiocarbon dating and heavy noble gas isotope analytical laboratory services to support USGS research in areas such as geology, hydrology, and climate science. This single-award IDC allows the USGS to issue task orders to WHOI for specialized isotope analysis and measurement services on an as-needed basis. The contract has a period of performance through April 2025. The task orders awarded to date, valued up to $365,272 each, fund WHOI's continued work under the IDC for radiocarbon dating, ocean research, and other oceanographic services in support of the USGS's coastal and marine science programs. No set-asides were used for this contract. The original solicitation from the USGS sought a single requirements-type contract for carbon-14 and related isotope analytical laboratory services. The contract aims to provide the USGS access to WHOI's specialized expertise and facilities in areas like paleoclimate reconstruction, groundwater dynamics, and marine biogeochemistry. Through this IDC, the USGS can rapidly acquire these analytical services to support its broader Earth science research and monitoring efforts across various geological, hydrological, and oceanographic applications.
