Building Strong-Motion Data Interpretation Service

The United States Geological Survey is seeking proposals to utilize strong-motion data recorded from selected instrumented buildings to further the understanding of seismic responses in building structures. The agency requires the study to address at least one of three specific objectives, which include validating or improving seismic analysis procedures, improving seismic provisions in the building code and seismic design practices, or increasing the utilization of strong-motion data in post-earthquake response. Performance of the requested work will occur offsite. Eligibility is restricted to onshore organizations based in the United States. Bidders must submit any questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 1, 2026. The agency is looking for budget proposals to fund the study and will accept digital submissions via email or through their online portal.
