About this opportunity
The U.S. Geological Survey's Office of Acquisitions and Grants is seeking to procure a Nu Instruments HR MC-ICP-MS torch box and translation stage upgrade for their Geology, Geophysics, and Geochemistry Science Center in Denver, Colorado. The solicitation requires a compatible torch box, XYZ translation stage, instrument software with MDU switch, and preventative maintenance, along with a one-year parts and labor warranty and on-site training. Vendors must provide authentic, manufacturer-certified products in original packaging with technical brochures demonstrating compliance with minimum specifications, and no refurbished, counterfeit, or gray market items will be accepted. The evaluation will be based on the lowest-priced, technically acceptable offer, with the lowest price quote reviewed first for technical acceptability. Questions regarding the solicitation must be submitted by 1:00 PM EDT on July 18, 2025, and quotes are due by 5:00 PM EDT on August 1, 2025, with all submissions directed to sdoutt@usgs.gov.
This procurement is designated as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,000 employees. The solicitation does not identify any current contractors or incumbents, and no specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the documentation. The government intends to award a single, firm-fixed-price purchase order resulting from this solicitation, with delivery required FOB Destination. The procurement is being conducted under FAR Part 12 commercial item procedures in conjunction with FAR Part 13 simplified acquisition procedures, indicating this is likely a relatively straightforward commercial equipment purchase. Performance will occur at the USGS facility in Denver, Colorado, where the torch box upgrade will be installed and the required on-site training will be provided.
