Description
The USGS GGGSC needs to replace aging sample‑preparation equipment to support its analytical chemistry program, which processes ~30,000 geological samples per year. The solicitation calls for three SM‑200 enclosed shatterboxes and three high‑energy 8000M mixer mills, each meeting strict size, power, motor, grinding‑media (alumina oxide only), safety, and noise‑reduction specifications. Delivery is required to the Denver Federal Center by 10/09/2026, with a 30‑day ARO window after order receipt. The award will be made to the lowest‑priced, technically acceptable offer (LPTA) under FAR Part 12, and the contract is a small‑business set‑aside (NAICS 334516). Vendors must be manufacturers or authorized distributors, be SAM‑registered, and provide new, authentic equipment in original packaging.
