The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP) is interested in highly experienced organizations able to maintain the National Laboratory Certification program. The National Laboratory Certification Program (NLCP) is specified in the mandatory guidelines for workplace drug testing programs published in the Federal Register on June 9, 1994. The NLCP ensures that drug testing results reported by Laboratories for Federal agencies and for industries regulated by the Department of Transportation and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission are scientifically and legally supportable. There are 56 certified laboratories currently participating in the NLCP. This contract will provide the technical evaluations and reports CSAP/SAMHSA requires to ensure complete oversight of the NLCP. The contractor will be required to prepare performance testing samples, technical evaluations of the results on the performance testing samples, maintain a semi-annual laboratory inspection program, prepare technical reports, and conduct various administrative tasks. In addition, the contractor will develop and present inspector training workshops, develop special reports, and conduct special research projects related to testing biological specimens on-site drug testing devices. The NLCP is a self supporting program. The contractor collects various fees from participants to offset the costs associated with applying and maintaining certification.
