Technical Services

The Ohio-based government authority is seeking a vendor to provide comprehensive laboratory technical services. The agency requires the receipt, tracking, processing, and preparation of samples through the completion of all required analyses and archival storage. Additionally, the selected vendor must manage staff sizes and technical expertise dynamically to meet the analytical and sample load requirements of individual Task Orders. The scope of work involves conducting required analyses within designated holding times using approved standard operating procedures. The agency is asking the vendor to develop or modify analytical methods, implement rigorous quality assurance and quality control practices, and maintain a laboratory quality assurance plan. To ensure compliance, the vendor must participate in external performance evaluation programs and document analytical performance to prepare annual data quality summary reports. Bidders must be onshore organizations located in the United States to be eligible for this opportunity. The agency requires all performance of the work to be conducted offsite. The authority is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget and has not provided key dates or specific evaluation criteria in the initial request.
