The U.S. Antarctic Program (USAP) is currently conducting market intelligence to further engage with industry and to continue its efforts to capture industry feedback to improve planning for the follow-on Antarctic Services procurement or non-procurement contract.

USAP is seeking feedback on:

• The potential creation and operation of an Antarctica Science and Engineering Support Consortium;
• How USAP might use a consortium model to encourage and attract best sources, including traditional and non-traditional entities; and
• Seeking feedback regarding choice-of-instrument.
