Summary

The opportunity titled 'B--Permafrost Core Samples Lab Testing & Thermal Anal' is a sources sought notice issued by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) aimed at identifying qualified vendors for laboratory testing and thermal analysis of permafrost core samples collected from northern Alaska. The work involves advanced testing of frozen permafrost samples, including thaw consolidation testing, thermal conductivity measurements, and unfrozen water content analysis. Contractors with expertise in frozen soil testing, particularly those with facilities capable of maintaining sub-zero temperatures and experience with advanced testing methods such as pulsed nuclear magnetic resonance (P-NMR), are encouraged to respond. This opportunity is particularly relevant for businesses specializing in geotechnical and thermal testing in Arctic environments, as the results will support critical USGS research in validating remote sensing technologies for ground ice mapping.
Description
The Department of the Interior, United States Geological Survey (USGS), is conducting market research to identify qualified vendors capable of providing laboratory testing and thermal analysis of permafrost core samples collected from northern Alaska.
