The U.S. Geological Survey intends to award a non-competitive purchase order to Eurofins of Tampa Bay, Florida for a series of water samples to be collected by the USGS scientists for the analysis of a specific set of chemical constituents. The required service is the analysis of water samples collected from laboratory experiments for a list of chemical constituents from relatively small volumes of sample (< 75.0 mL) and at detection limits as described by state and federal regulatory agencies. The contracted laboratory will provide the containers for collecting and the coolers for transport of the samples. The contracted laboratory will provide a detailed results report that provide the USGS scientist with the concentrations of the chemical constituents in each sample, if a sample is below detection limits and all associated QA/QC data. In accordance with FAR 5.207, all responsible sources may submit a bid, proposal or quotation which shall be considered by the agency, however, THIS NOTICE IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. The Government intends to award this requirement noncompetitively in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1). Email responses to rlanderson@usgs.gov. The North American Classification System (NAICS) code is 541380. The size standard in number of is $16.5 million. The anticipated contract will be firm fixed-price. A vendor must be registered at https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/ to be awarded the contract.

This is not a request for proposal, but a survey to locate potential sources. This Sources Sought does not constitute an Invitation for Bids, Request for Proposals, or a Request for Quotations, and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government to issue an order or otherwise pay for the information solicited, nor is it a guarantee of a forthcoming solicitation or contract. It is for market research purposes only. Respondents will not be notified of the results of the evaluation. The purpose of this Sources Sought Notice is to gain knowledge of interest, capabilities, and qualifications of various members of industry, to include the Small Business Community: Small Business, Section 8(a), Historically Underutilized Business Zones (HUB-Zone), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB), and Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB). The Government must ensure there is adequate competition among the potential pool of responsible contractors. Small business, Section 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, WOSB, & EDWOSB businesses are highly encouraged to participate. NAICS Code: 541380 SPECIAL STUDIES/ANALYSIS- WATER QUALITY NAICS Size Standard: $16.50 million Subject: Water Sample Analysis Sources Sought Closing Response Date: Four (3) Calendar days after posting. Contact Point: Rafael Anderson, rlanderson@usgs.gov Objective: To find sources that are qualified to meet the supplies/services as listed below. Note that the specific requirements are subject to change prior to the release of any solicitation. Due to the stability of a sub-set of chemical constituents in the water samples to be analyzed, the holding times for these samples are shorter than guaranteed delivery times by commercial carriers and the U.S. Postal Service. This short holding time issue can only be resolved by hand delivering the water samples to the commercial laboratory. Additionally, the commercial laboratory has to be NELAP certified nationally and within the State of Florida for the analyses of the chemical constituents in the water samples from the USGS project. The driving time between the USGS laboratory and the Eurofins Tampa laboratory location is approximately 40 minutes (25 miles). Responses: All interested parties should notify this office via e-mail within the posted date. Responses shall include: (I) To what extent each of the specifications can be met. (II) Include your type of business (i.e. commercial, academia), whether your organization is classified as a large or small business. If a small business, you must also list any small disadvantaged status you hold [HUBZone, 8(a), Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), Women Owned Small Business (WOSB), Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB), etc.]. (III) Experience/ performance through the description of completed projects.
