- Description
- Sources Sought This is a Request for Information. This synopsis is for information and planning purposes only and is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government. No contract will be awarded as a result of this Sources Sought announcement. The United States Geological Survey, Office of Acquisition and Grants is soliciting information from qualified sources; the results of this announcement will be evaluated to determine if there are businesses capable of performing the proposed work. The US Geological Survey, Office of Acquisition and Grants seeks responses from vendors that possess the capability to provide a taxonomic description and published description of a new species of Ooencyrtus wasp. The USGS Pacific Islands Ecosystems Research Center requires a taxonomic description and publication of findings of a new species of Ooencyrtus wasp. This analysis and publication is part of a research project to identify threats to the Samoan swallowtail butterfly. The USGS�s research on the Samoan swallowtail butterfly will be much more relevant and better supported with a published description of the wasp in question. The work will morphologically compare the new species with others in its genus using specimens from repositories as necessary. The morphological description will be complimented by PCR extraction and DNA sequencing of the genome for phylogenetic analysis. To the extent possible, methods, terminology, and publication of results should follow those in Polaszek et al. (2020). See citation below. Interested parties please contact Elizabeth Adam, eadam@usgs.gov. 1. Polaszek, A., J. S. Noyes, S. Russell, and M. M. Ramadan. 2020.
