Responses submitted by hardcopy shall not be accepted or considered. U.S. Geological Survey California Water Science Center, San Diego Projects Office Statement of Work I. GENERAL INFORMATION A. Introduction The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) requires analysis of strontium isotopes in water. B. Background The USGS California Water Science Center (CAWSC) has typically used the USGS Trace Metals Laboratory in Menlo Park, CA to analyze strontium isotopes in water samples. This is a specialized analysis that relatively few laboratories can perform. The Trace Metals Laboratory suddenly and unexpectedly shut down on December 1, 2021, leaving some projects unable to complete the analysis within the timeframe required in the existing joint project with the California Department of Toxic Substances Control. C. Scope Analyze up to 87 environmental water samples for strontium isotopes. Provide internal laboratory quality control sample results. II. WORK REQUIREMENTS A. Technical Requirements. 1. Analyze strontium isotopes in water samples. Laboratory must provide good quality sample measurements in a timely fashion, so the project is able to meet deadlines as required by the project. 2. Laboratory quality control sample results will be analyzed by USGS staff to ensure environmental sample measurements are of good quality. B. Deliverables. 1. Up to 87 strontium isotopes measurements and associated quality control sample results. 2. Sample results to be delivered in an electronic data format between four and six weeks after the laboratory has received the samples. III. SUPPORTING INFORMATION A. Place of Performance Vendor's Facility B. Period of Performance March 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022
