About this opportunity

USGS conducted market research and confirmed Picarro is the only qualified source to complete the repairs without compromising the equipment. The total estimated value of the requirement is undisclosed. USGS plans to compete future requirements when other sources become available. Interested parties may submit comments by September 4, 2024.
