- SOURCES SOUGHT: This is a SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is conducting a MARKET SURVEY to determine the interest and capability of any firm eligible to compete under NAICS code 541380 Testing Laboratories with a Small Business Size Standard of $15.0 M for an upcoming quantification of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) analysis services. The USGS Upper Midwest Science Center coordinates a large-scale Great Lake tributary surveillance program for the Great Lake Restoration Initiative that requires monitoring of numerous organic contaminants in water, sediment, and passive samplers throughout the Great Lakes Basin. For this program, samples were collected using polar organic chemical integrative samplers (POCIS) that have been extracted and archived. Analysis for quantification of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in these POCIS extracts is needed to complete this project. A project for defining the extent of contaminants of emerging concern in Great Lakes tributaries was initiated in 2010 and continues currently. To date, over 800 chemicals have been monitored for this program, but PFAS is an important class of compounds has yet to be investigated for this program. The POCIS extracts provide an opportunity to assess PFAS contamination at 61 stream sites within the Great Lakes basin. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION.
