Water Quality Laboratory Testing Service

The government authority in St. Cloud, MN, requires a vendor to provide water quality laboratory testing services for critical water, utility water, and steam condensate. Agency staff will collect the samples, while the contractor must test multiple monthly and quarterly samples, excluding daily visual inspections. The contractor must supply all sterile, properly preserved sampling supplies, bottles, containers, shipping labels, and strict chain-of-custody procedures. The scope includes sixteen courier trips per year to pick up samples, twenty annual retests, and a mandatory review of out-of-compliance tests for errors. Response times for courier and sample processing cannot exceed the duration of a valid test sample, and local retest and courier services must respond within 3 hours when needed. Bidders must be USA organizations (onshore), and the work will be performed onsite. Bidders may submit proposals digitally via email or online. Budget details state the buyer is looking for proposals.
