Trace Organic Laboratory Services

The City of Atlanta, Georgia, is seeking a qualified contractor to provide trace organic laboratory services. The agency needs these services to analyze grab and composite samples collected by government personnel. This initiative solves the agency's need for compliant, high-precision laboratory testing and ongoing expert consulting on new or unusual testing requirements and procedures. The scope of work requires the contractor to provide sample bottles, sample identification labels, shipping labels, and chain of custody forms at the time of sample bottle pick-up. The contractor must conduct all testing in accordance with the methods presented in 40 Code of Federal Regulations Part 136. Additionally, the contractor must provide the method detection limit, minimum level, or other designated method endpoint reflecting the precision of the analytical method used. The agency requires all data to comply with the quality assurance and quality control requirements of 40 Code of Federal Regulations Part 136, or other appropriate Standard Methods for analytes not addressed by those federal regulations. In the event that results are disputed, the contractor must perform additional testing to resolve the discrepancy. The performance of all laboratory work will take place offsite. Eligibility is strictly limited to onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency is currently looking for proposals to establish the budget for these services. The source document does not contain specific evaluation criteria or key dates for this opportunity.
