- Description
- The U.S. Geological Survey, Southwest Biological Science Center, Colorado Plateau Research Station, Kanab, UT intends to make a sole source award to Brigham Young University, Soil Testing Lab, University Hl, 1-285 Administration Bldg, Provo, Ut 84602-1231 to provide soil and plant sample chemical analysis/testing. The Brigham Young University Plant and Soil testing lab has been analyzing soil samples for USGS from the inception of our current research program. In order to ensure that research results from previous years and sites are comparable with current and future research activities, it is necessary to continue working with the same testing facility. Other laboratory facilities use different analytical protocols and instrumentation, and thus provide data which often are not directly comparable to those provided by the BYU Lab. Use of other sources would compromise the integrity and future research and the value of past research. Services to be provided are laboratory analyses of soil and plant samples (physical and chemical properties). USGS will provide samples for analysis which will be due 90 days after receipt. One or more of the following tests will be performed on samples: Nitrate; Phosphorous; Potassium; Organic Matter; An, Fe, Mn, cu, pH & Salinity; pH, BC, SAR; CBC; Texture; Exchangeable ions; Total nitrogen; Particle size analysis; Sand size fractions; Calcium carbonate; Mineralizable N; Resin capsules with incubation; Resin capsules without incubation; Resin bags; PLANT ANALYSIS; P1-N, P, K, Zu, Fe, Mn, Cu, Cs, Mg, S; N; Nitrate; Root CEO. Period of performance: Date of Award for 1 year and up to 2 option Years. This notice is for informational purposes only. Simplified Acquisition procedures will be used with an estimed award date of 07/03/2006. This is not a request for competive quotes. Interested vendors may identify their interest and capability to respond within 10 days of this announcement. All responses must be in writing by facsimile to the Contracting Officer at (209)742-5089 or email amargrave@usgs.gov. A determination not to continue with this acquisition based upon response to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive acquisition.
