About this opportunity
The US Geological Survey issued an intent-to-award notice on September 16, 2026, for a sole-source contract renewal to Mordor Intelligence Pvt Ltd. for a subscription to market research reports, with a response deadline of 9:00 AM Eastern on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, for competing vendors to challenge the sole-source justification.
USGS intends to award a non-competitive firm fixed price contract for a base year plus two option years (September 24, 2026 through September 23, 2027) covering global mineral commodity markets, including critical minerals such as rare earth elements, antimony, tantalum, zirconium, and battery materials. The subscription provides 10 on-demand custom reports, up to 400 off-the-shelf reports from a library exceeding 19,000 titles, up to 500 analyst hours, and 400 AI credits for efficient report searching. All reports carry a corporate license for internal use by USGS National Minerals Information Center staff only. USGS justifies sole-source procurement on the basis of Mordor Intelligence's proprietary datasets and analyses, which the agency asserts are not readily available from other sources in the required scope, format, and level of detail, and supports critical federal priorities in critical minerals, domestic production, supply-chain security, energy security, and national security. Vendors believing they can provide substantially similar products meeting these requirements must contact Contract Specialist Patrick Anderson at patrick_anderson@usgs.gov no later than the September 22 deadline with an affirmative response.
