Quick Summary
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has issued a cancellation for the Sources Sought notice regarding Logistical Support Services in Utqiaġvik, Alaska. The Government no longer requires market research for this specific requirement.
Scope of Change
This Special Notice (Modification 1) explicitly cancels the previously issued Sources Sought notice. Consequently, the entire market research effort for logistical support services is terminated, and no further action is required from interested parties.
Original Requirement (for context)
The original Sources Sought, posted on February 3, 2026, was for market research to identify businesses capable of providing logistical support for a 3-person polar bear research field crew in Utqiaġvik, Alaska, from March 9-25, 2026. Key requirements included lodging, a 4-door truck, and dedicated office/lab/storage space. The original NAICS Code was 561210 (Facilities support services) with a $47.0 million size standard.
