Quick Summary
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is conducting a Sources Sought market survey to identify firms capable of providing inspection, recalibration, and repair services for data loggers used by the Great Lakes Science Center (GLSC Ann Arbor). This effort falls under NAICS code 334519ENV (Environmental Measuring Instruments). Responses are due by April 16, 2026, at 12:00 PM EST.
Scope of Work
The requirement involves comprehensive maintenance, repair, operations checks, and recalibration to factory specifications for existing GLSC hardware. Specific equipment includes:
