No contract will be awarded as a result of this Sources Sought announcement. The United States Geological Survey (USGS), Office of Acquisition and Grants (OAG) is soliciting information from qualified sources; the results of this announcement will be evaluated to determine if there are businesses capable of meeting the requirement in accordance with the attached technical specifications. The USGS is actively engaged in studies where groundwater availability is a concern, and airborne transport and exposure risks associated with trace elements are unknown. The studies share a common goal of evaluating water resource-scarce regions in the arid west; however, each study differs in sampling nature and requires a vendor that can handle a variety of sample mediums and diversity in analyses. The success of these studies depends on reliable and affordable analytical services that can provide timely results. The USGS, OAG seeks responses from vendors who can provide services for the following: 1) high-quality, precise measurements of tritium (3H) and other dissolved gases (isotopes of noble gases, and environmental tracers including methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2), chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) to determine groundwater age, transit times, and recharge conditions, and 2) timely, reproducible, high-quality measurements of strontium isotopes (87Sr/86Sr) in groundwater and trace elements in groundwater, dust, and plant material to further characterize groundwater age, system flow paths, and mixing and to determine dispersal of uranium and other priority pollutants and evaluate potential exposure risks. NAICS Code: 541380 - Testing Laboratories and Services, associated size standard $19 million. PSC Codes: B529 Special Studies/Analysis - Scientific Data B533 Special Studies/Analysis - Water Quality All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, which shall be considered by the Government. The information received in response to this notice will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct a competitive procurement. Responses must include complete description of capabilities to be provided and contain sufficient technical information to allow agency analysis to establish bona fide capabilities. This is not a request for quotation, and the Government does not intend to pay for information received. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government. Respondents will not be notified of the results of any Government evaluation of the information received. Capability statements shall only be accepted through email addressed to jongjoco@usgs.gov.

A determination not to compete this action based upon responses received is in the sole discretion of the Government. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Utah Water Science Center (UT WSC) intends to award an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to University of Utah, Department of Geology and Geophysics, at the Dissolved and Noble Gas Service Center and at the University of Utah ICP-MS Metals and Strontium Facility for analytical services providing reproducible, high-quality measurements of tritium ( 3H) and dissolved gases including noble gases, methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2), chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6). Tritium concentrations in association with dissolved gases are used to characterize groundwater systems. Data continuity is a vital component of UT WSC projects. As such, all analyses performed for tritium requires using the helium-ingrown method to ensure detections limits of at least 0.01 tritium units, and dissolved gases from samples collected in either copper tubes or diffusion samples (noble gases). UT WSC also requires the same vendor to analyze water samples for anions and strontium isotopes ( 87Sr/86Sr), and water, dust and plant samples for trace elements (Li, Be, B, Na, Mg, Al, K, Ca, Sc, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Rb, Sr, Y, Mo, Cd, Sb, Cs, Ba, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Yb, Lu, Pb, Th, U). The turnaround times for these analyses must be within 15 days of sample delivery for anions and trace elements in water samples and within 60 days of sample delivery for strontium isotopes. UT WSC requires the same vendor to perform all analyses above based on the necessity of inter-comparability for different projects that share the common goal of bettering the economic development in the arid west. University of Utah is the only vendor known to USGS that can fully meet the requirement.
