SAM #140GG027Q0001

USGS stable isotope analysis of carbonate microfossils

The U.S. Geological Survey is seeking laboratory analysis of carbonate microfossils for stable carbon and oxygen isotope measurements. - Government buyer: U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Department of the Interior. The materials identify both USGS Programs–Reston and the Florence Bascom Geoscience Center. - Requested service: Stable isotope analysis under solicitation 140GG027Q0001, including a schedule entry for CLIN 00010 and work described in the Statement of Work. - Scope and quantity: Up to 2,000 measurements of carbonate microfossils, primarily benthic foraminifera and ostracodes; the schedule entry itself does not state a quantity. Additional measurements may be requested in later years. - Technical requirements: Prepare and analyze small specimens (including 5–9g specimens); document preparation and analytical methods; use mass-matched Carrara Marble standards; and meet stated analytical precision thresholds. Deliver corrected carbon and oxygen isotope values and supporting analytical data. Reanalyze work that does not meet the quality standard at no additional cost. - Performance: Complete sample preparation and analysis within six months of sample receipt, subject to mutual agreement for unforeseen circumstances. The described main scope is targeted for completion within FY27; additional work may occur in later years. The initial release also describes a one-year period after receipt of order with no option periods. - OEMs and vendors: No commercial OEMs, vendors, or named laboratory providers are identified.
