Summary

The opportunity titled 'B--Plankton Analysis, European Green Crab Larvae Identification & Enumeration' is a Sources Sought announcement issued by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) aimed at gathering information on qualified businesses capable of conducting plankton analysis specifically for the identification and enumeration of European Green Crab (EGC) larvae. This work is critical for validating DNA detection methods being developed for early detection of EGC, an invasive species that poses significant ecological and economic threats. Contractors with expertise in microscopic identification of crab larvae and experience in taxonomic analysis are encouraged to respond, as the project requires precise identification of EGC larvae and their developmental stages from plankton samples. The information collected will assist the government in planning its acquisition strategy, although it does not constitute a request for proposals or quotes.
