Sample Preparation from Sediment, ICP Analysis, Quartz purification, clean lab extraction…

The College of William & Mary has awarded a contract to the University of Vermont for analytical laboratory services with a cumulative contract value of $5,200.00. The award was executed on June 13, 2026, in Virginia. The prime contractor will deliver specialized sample preparation and analysis services, specifically sediment sample preparation, inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analysis, quartz purification, and clean laboratory extraction of meteoric materials. The deliverable quantity is specified as one complete service package, with delivery directed to Lindsey Donovan.

The contract encompasses comprehensive laboratory analysis services focused on geological and environmental sample processing. The scope of work includes multiple analytical methodologies designed to isolate and purify sediment constituents and meteoritic materials utilizing clean laboratory protocols to prevent contamination. While the contract documentation does not specify an explicit period of performance, the June 2026 award date and the nature of the discrete analytical services suggest a project-based engagement. The relatively modest contract value of $5,200.00 indicates this represents either a focused research support task or a component of a larger research initiative conducted through the College of William & Mary.
