- Description
- SOURCES SOUGHT: This is a SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is conducting a MARKET SURVEY to determine the interest and capability of any firm eligible to compete under NAICS code 334516 Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing with a Small Business size standard in number of 1,000 employees for an upcoming requirement of a DNA Tracker. The USGS Central Midwest Water Science Center will deploy a DNA Tracker unit in the Illinois River Basin for the detection of algae species critical to the formation of harmful algae blooms. Required specifications / instrument capabilities: 1. field-deployable: The instrument is intended for deployment to the field and be sized such that typical USGS field crews can transport and install. The instrument must be rugged to withstand field conditions typically encountered in the Illinois River Basin. This includes operation in air temperatures that may range from sub-zero to 100 F. 2. automatic: The instrument will be deployed for both manned- and autonomous deployments. Autonomous deployments will rely on USGS flow-through sampling setups designed to work with the Tracker unit. 3. web-connected: The instrument must include telemetry for web-based data transfer and display. 4. real-time data: The instrument must be capable of near real-time data processing and display. In the Illinois River Basin deployments, the anticipated data sampling/processing/display time-steps of 30-60 minutes is sufficient. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION. ALL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH PROVIDING INFORMATION AS REQUESTED BY THIS SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE SHALL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CONTRACTOR. Submission is voluntary. A scope of work will be provided with any solicitation that may be issued. The Government is not required to issue a solicitation.

In response to this announcement, please indicate your firm's socioeconomic status (e.g. small business, service-disabled veteran-owned, women owned, HUBZone, etc.) This information will assist the Government in determining how small businesses can fit into the acquisition strategy. A firm is considered small under NAICS 334516 code if they have a size standard in number employees of 1,000. Any information submitted is voluntary. If sufficient interest and capability is not received from firms in categories (A) through (E) above, any solicitation may be issued as unrestricted without further consideration.
