Thermogravimetric Analyzer

The United States Geological Survey (USGS) Office of Acquisitions and Grants is seeking to procure a Thermogravimetric Analyzer for scientific research purposes. The solicitation, identified by the contract opportunity ID 53e8fb7b3f0e443b99e9932db93fa8ca, is open to vendors in the Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing sector (NAICS 334516). The procurement is specifically for a Chemical Analysis Instrument (PSC 6630) that will be used for specialized laboratory analysis. The solicitation was posted on February 18, 2025, with responses due by March 4, 2025, providing potential vendors approximately two weeks to prepare and submit their proposals. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the provided documents, vendors can expect a comprehensive review of technical specifications, pricing, and compliance with the attached solicitation documents.

The contract opportunity does not have a specific set-aside designation, indicating it is open to all qualified vendors. The place of performance is located at 2885 Mission St, Santa Cruz, CA 95060, suggesting the analyzer will be deployed at a USGS research facility in California. Without additional context from the attached documents, the exact budget range and potential award value cannot be definitively stated. The solicitation appears to be for a single Thermogravimetric Analyzer, implying a focused procurement rather than a bulk purchase. The three amendment documents (Amd_0001, Amd_0002, and Amd_0003) suggest potential modifications or clarifications to the original solicitation, which vendors should carefully review to ensure full understanding of the requirements and expectations.
