The Department of the Interior, specifically the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), is seeking proposals for the procurement of high-security and weather-resistant padlocks to secure equipment and shelters in outdoor environments. The requirements include padlocks with a heavy laminated steel body, hardened boron alloy shackles, and dual ball bearing locking mechanisms, all designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions. This procurement is crucial for ensuring the safety and security of government-owned equipment in challenging field conditions, emphasizing the importance of operational efficiency. Interested small businesses, particularly those owned by service-disabled veterans and economically disadvantaged individuals, must submit their proposals by March 6, 2025, and can contact Cynthia Nicanor at cnicanor@usgs.gov for further information.
