R--Intent to Award - ANSI membership

The US Geological Survey (USGS) has a requirement to obtain American National Standard Institute (ANSI) membership. The ANSI membership is to standardize the collection of hydrological data to permit broader and more effective sharing of hydrologic research and development of better international water monitoring indices. The USGS is aware of no other source that can provide the above. Therefore, it intends to make an award to ANSI, unless it is contacted by any vendor who believes they obtained similar technical expertise and can provide the same service, in accordance with the attached Instruction to Vendors and Sole SourceJustification and Approval. Vendors are invited to contact the Contract Specialist, Bonita Lucas ([email protected]) no later than 1:00 PM ET, Thursday, 05/23/2013 with an affirmative answer.
