The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) intends to issue a sole source firm-fixed-price purchase order to CPM Group LLC for a one-year subscription to precious metals advisory services. The subscription covers monthly reports and supply chain analyses for gold, silver, platinum-group metals, precious metals, copper, niobium, tantalum, and other metals for five users. The period of performance is September 16, 2026, through September 15, 2027. This is a notice of intent to award on a sole source basis under FAR 12.102(a), not a request for competitive quotes. Market research concluded that CPM Group uniquely provides the comprehensive, combined coverage of these metals that USGS mineral commodity specialists require.
