to purchase passive soil gas samplers, drill bits, analysis of passive soil gas samplers, delivery of Leve IV data package, and delivery of isopleth maps

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Office of Acquisitions and Grants is seeking to procure environmental assessment services for NARL Lagoons through a non-competitive, firm-fixed price contract. The procurement involves purchasing passive soil gas samplers, drill bits, conducting analysis of soil gas samplers, delivering a Level IV data package, and generating isopleth maps. The evaluation criteria will be based on a technically acceptable/unacceptable rating for the technical approach, with the award going to the lowest-priced offer that meets the minimum requirements. While the solicitation suggests potential for competitive bidding, USGS intends to award the contract directly to Batta Environmental Associates, Inc., which they identify as the only known source capable of providing these specialized services. The solicitation was posted on February 26, 2025, with responses due by February 28, 2025, and an anticipated contract award date of March 3, 2025.

The contract does not have a specific small business set-aside and falls under NAICS code 541380 for Testing Laboratories and Services, with a size standard of $19.00. The work will be delivered to the USGS Northern Appalachian location in Wellsboro, Pennsylvania, with a performance period from March 3, 2025, to July 2, 2025. Vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) to be eligible for contract award, and all responses should be emailed to hnair@usgs.gov. The contract has no option years and will be a firm-fixed price arrangement. The specific quantity of services or exact budget range is not explicitly detailed in the solicitation documents, but the procurement is focused on environmental sampling and analysis services for the NARL Lagoons project.
