About this opportunity
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), an agency within the Department of the Interior, is soliciting firm, fixed-price quotations for accelerator mass spectrometric (AMS) analysis of Iodine-129 in groundwater samples from the Idaho National Laboratory. The primary objective is to establish a long-term dataset of Iodine-129 concentrations and assess migration potential from perched groundwater to the aquifer near the INL's southern boundary. Key requirements include analyzing approximately 60 groundwater samples using AMS methods, achieving 5% concentration uncertainty with 95% confidence, providing laboratory blanks for every ten samples, documenting the use of NIST-traceable reference standards, and submitting analytical results within 180 days of receipt in electronic Excel format with transparent data reduction calculations. Evaluation will be conducted on a trade-off basis using four factors: firm fixed price (most important), technical capability demonstrating understanding and ability to meet requirements, past performance on similar work, and past experience frequency and recency. The quotation deadline is April 1, 2026 at 1130 hours Eastern Time, with quotes to be submitted by email only to Joahnne_Ongjoco@ios.doi.gov; all interested parties must be actively registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) at the time of submission.
This is an unrestricted opportunity with no small business set-aside designation. No incumbent contractor or budget range has been identified in the solicitation. The estimated period of performance extends from April 15, 2026 through April 30, 2027, with groundwater samples to be collected in three events during April, June, and October 2026. All analytical work must be performed at the contractor's facility with delivery on a firm, fixed-price basis to Idaho Falls, Idaho 83402. The contract is subject to Service Contract Labor Standards wage determination requirements applicable to the place of performance, and all data produced becomes Government property intended for public domain release.
