Description

The U.S. Geological Survey intends to negotiate on a sole source basis with Frontier Geosciences, Inc., 414 Pontius North, Seattle, WA 98109. The proposed contract is to determine mercury for various combinations of species and sample matrices as follows: Total Hg in water, 0.2 ng/L; methylhg in water, 0.02 ng/L; Total Hg in sediment 0.5 ng/g; methy1Hg in sediment, 0.015 ng/g. Filtration must be by ultraclean methods, so that the same detection limits apply for filtered samples. Owing to dilutions involved in the six step sequential selective extraction procedure method to determine Hg sprciation in sediments, method detection limits will be approximately 3 x the numbers given above. Frontier Geoscience has participated in world-wide interlaboratory comparison tests, and met the requirements of world-wide QA/QC standards. Their level of QA/QC is not excelled by any other laboratory. Frontier Geoscience provides consultation on analytical, sampling, and contamination issues, and interpretation of results. Since the sequential extraction procedure is new, this service is particulary important. THIS NOTICE IS FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR COMPETITIVE PROPOSALS. Information will be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. Determination to compete this requirement is solely within the discretion of the Government; no additional synopsis will be published.
