About this opportunity
The Department of the Interior's US Geological Survey Office of Acquisitions and Grants has issued a Limited / Sole Source Justification Notice for a Laser Induced Breakdown Spectrometer (LIBS) TANDEM PRISM UPGRADE for the Geology Geophysics Geochemistry Science Center in Denver, CO. The sole source contract will be awarded to Applied Spectra to provide a customized LIBS detection system specifically designed to integrate with the existing Resolution SE laser system located in the PlasmaLab at the Denver Federal Center. The upgrade includes a higher sensitivity spectrometer, computer control system, Clarity NeXt control software, a custom ablation cell window, and a second laser cell for ultra-clean samples. Applied Spectra was selected as the sole source vendor because they are the only company capable of providing a LIBS detector fully integrated with the existing laser ablation system, which will enable simultaneous elemental compositional data collection with improved analytical capabilities for measuring elements like Sr, Hf, Nd, and Pb. While specific award values were not disclosed, the opportunity is categorized under Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing (NAICS 334516) and Geophysical Instruments (PSC 6655), with the agency noting that future similar requirements will be competitively bid to the maximum extent practical.
