Since 1966, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has been conducting ship-based scientific studies aboard the Research Vessel (R/V) Polaris. It is bittersweet to announce the end of an era for the R/V Polaris with USGS but an exciting opportunity for yet another page of history to be added to the vessel under new ownership.

GSA will conduct an auction for the R/V Polaris which is scheduled to run from September 19, 2016 to October 4, 2016. To access the auction site, visit www.GSAAuctions.gov and search under the category “Boats and Marine Equipment”.
