Laboratory Analysis of Water Samples

The U.S. Geological Survey has a requirement for the laboratory analysis of water samples to determine dissolved helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, 3He/4He isotope ratio of dissolved helium, and the dissolved tritium content of water samples. The analysis results will be delivered to Reston, Virginia.



This requirement is expected to result in the award of a one-year indefinite delivery contract with a period of performance of October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2016, and four one-year option periods thereafter. The total/maximum number of samples for each type of analysis over five years will not exceed:



-Dissolved Helium, Neon, and 3He/4He - 1500 samples

-Dissolved Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon and 3He/4He - 500 samples

-Dissolved Tritium - 500 samples



Competitive request for quotations (RFQ) G15PS00193 will be issued on or about 07/27/2015 with written quotes due on or about 08/19/2015.



The NAICS code is 541380. The size standard is $15.0 million



The U.S. Geological Survey intends to issue a competitive RFQ under FAR Subpart 13.5 - Test Program for Certain Commercial Items. The RFQ will be competed using full and open competition procedures and will not be set aside for small business concerns. The anticipated award date of the contract is 09/06/2015. A vendor must be registered at http://www.sam.gov to be awarded the contract.



All responsible sources may submit a bid or quotation which shall be considered by the agency. Email responses to dgalvin@usgs.gov or mailed to the address specified in the solicitation.



Once issued, the RFQ may be viewed through the FedConnect portal located at https://www.fedconnect.net/FedConnect/.
