The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with a $450,000 ceiling value to Gold Standard Diagnostics Horsham, Inc. to provide laboratory test kits, including 96-well plate enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits, cell lysis kits, and cyanotoxin standards, to support the agency's Organic Geochemistry Research Laboratory (OGRL) in Kansas. This requirement is not set-aside and aims to equip the OGRL with the necessary tools to evaluate the potentially harmful effects of algal bloom toxins in the nation's water resources. The ELISA kits are used as rapid, reliable screening tools for cyanotoxins like anatoxin-a, cylindrospermopsin, microcystin, and saxitoxins, while the cell lysis kits and cyanotoxin standards support the OGRL's research mission. The contract has a period of performance extending to June 2029, with the initial award made in July 2024. This procurement aligns with the USGS Environmental Health Mission Area and Toxic Substances Hydrology Program, which focus on monitoring and protecting public health from environmental contaminants. The sourcing opportunity was originally posted as a pre-solicitation notice, seeking responses from vendors capable of meeting the salient characteristics of the specified brand-name test kits. The notice specified the NAICS code, size standard, and Buy American requirements. Interested offerors were instructed to provide details on their ability to supply domestically manufactured products, business size and status, and relevant contact information. While this was a sources sought notice and not a formal solicitation, the government outlined the specific ELISA, cell lysis, and cyanotoxin standard requirements to support the OGRL's research and monitoring activities.
