- Description
- Radiogenic isotope and platinum group element analyses Notice of Intent This is a notice of intent to solicit from a single source. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), intends to award a purchase order to University of Southern Carolina for radiogenic isotope and platinum group element analyses. Award will be made in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b) and the procedures at FAR Part 12 entitled, Acquisition of Commercial Items and FAR Part 13 entitled, Simplified Acquisition Procedures. University of Southern Carolina developed high-precision techniques for Lu/Hf and Sm/Nd isotope ratios by isotope dilution methods that, with similar analyses on cogenetic rocks, can provide geochronological constraints on the timing of melt extraction events. USC is, to the USGS� knowledge, the only source who can provide the combination of analyses requested. These techniques, combined, can provide information on age, source material, chemical conditions (e.g., redox conditions), and tectonic context of the source rock assemblages. Furthermore, this work contributes to a continuing investigation in collaboration with researchers at USC, and data continuity is crucial. The purpose of this notice is to satisfy the requirements of FAR Subpart 5.101(a)(2) and FAR 5.2. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotes. However, all responsible parties may submit a quotation by the closing date of this announcement which shall be considered by the agency. No solicitation will be issued. A determination not to compete this action based upon responses received is in the sole discretion of the Government. The NAICS code for this action is 541380, Testing Laboratories, and associated standard size of $16.5 million. Responses or inquiries shall only be accepted through electronic mail addressed to yangzhideng@usgs.gov and must be uploaded and received in their entirety no later than August 9, 2023 at 1500 PST.
