Description
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) intends to award a purchase order to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution for the analysis of 60 samples of ferromanganese crusts and nodule samples. The analysis will utilize an Anton Paar high pressure asher with both 5 and 18 quartz vessel conversion kits for sample digestions, and a Neptune multicollector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer with an 1013 ohm amplifier.
The key aspects of this opportunity include:
• Analysis of ferromanganese crusts and nodule samples
• Utilization of specialized equipment, including an Anton Paar high pressure asher and a Neptune multicollector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer
• The USGS is soliciting from a single source, but other responsible parties may submit a capability statement for consideration
• The NAICS code for this action is 541380, Testing Laboratories and Services
