    Description

    The U.S. Geological Survey has issued a presolicitation notice for a non-competitive purchase order. The primary objective is to acquire an Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP-OES) from Horiba, a sole proprietor of this equipment, to quantify geochemically essential elements.

    The ICP-OES instrument, a Horiba Ultima Expert (2015 Model), is crucial for maintaining data continuity and adhering to internal quality management systems. Due to unique ownership rights and calibration methods, acquiring the equipment from any other source would compromise data integrity. Therefore, the USGS intends to award a firm fixed-price contract to Horiba.

    While all responsible sources may submit bids, this notice is for informational purposes only, and a noncompetitive award is anticipated. Vendors interested in responding should contact Rafael Anderson at rlanderson@usgs.gov and ensure their registration on the System for Award Management (SAM) database.

    Please note that the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 334516, and the size standard is set at 1,000 employees.
