WATER SAMPLE ANALYSIS IN ACCORDANCE WITH PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

Description:

ANALYTICAL Laboratory Services: Characterize complex carbon-based constituents in dissolved organic matter present in water from Lake Okeechobee and associated influent and discharging streams In Accordance With The Performance Work Statement

INTENT TO AWARD SOLE SOURCE

The U.S. Geological Survey, Reston, VA, intends to make a non-competitive award to the Florida International University, located in Miami, Florida for Analytical Laboratory Services to be delivered to USGS St Petersburg Coastal Marine by August 14, 2023. There is a base period of performance and 1 option period. The period of performance is:

BASE PERIOD: 08/15/2022 thru 08/14/2023
OPTION PERIOD ONE: 08/15/2023 thru 08/14/2024

Florida International University services are required in order to maintain consistency with the analyses of samples and the requirement for organic carbon data to be included in the Florida International University Everglades National Park organic carbon database. As the methods for analyzing organic carbon in water can differ significantly from laboratory-to-laboratory, the sole requirement for organic carbon data to be included in the Florida International University Everglades National Park organic carbon database is the samples have to be analyzed by the Florida International University. This requirement minimizes sample-to-sample data variability, thereby ensuring a high level of data reliability for analyses and interpretations.

In accordance with FAR 5.207, all responsible sources may submit a quotation which shall be considered by the agency, however, THIS NOTICE IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE QUOTATIONS. The Government intends to award this requirement noncompetitively in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1).
