Description
The US Geological Survey (USGS) is seeking a one-year subscription to The Project Blue Group Limited to purchase 26 reports. The reports will provide comprehensive information on 22 critical mineral commodities, including market intelligence and data. The subscription will support the National Minerals Information Center's mission to assess critical mineral supply-chain risks and inform Federal agencies. The USGS is aware of no other source that can provide the required information, and therefore intends to make a non-competitive award to The Project Blue Group Limited.
* The subscription will provide access to regularly updated market data and comprehensive reports on global production, consumption, trade, processing, technology, and supply chains for critical minerals.
* The information provided by Project Blue is not readily available from other sources, particularly for minerals affected by foreign supply restrictions and limited international reporting.
* The subscription will support the National Minerals Information Center's mission to assess critical mineral supply-chain risks, inform Federal agencies, and provide the mineral supply and demand analysis required by Federal law and national policy.
