The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) intends to award a purchase order to American Geophysical Corporation for the acquisition of historical seismic data, specifically active seismic lines crucial for geological research in the Stillwater Complex, Montana. The procurement aims to obtain 2-D active seismic data from around 1982, which is vital for evaluating the region's geology, including the potential for critical mineral resources and environmental management strategies. This initiative supports ongoing assessments of mineral wealth and carbon capture capabilities, with the project period estimated from December 16, 2024, to January 30, 2025. Interested parties may submit inquiries via email to rlujan@usgs.gov by December 27, 2024, at 0800 hrs central time, as no formal solicitation will be issued.
