Any other documentation or SOPs (e.g., canister cleaning and certification, flow regulator calibration, sample dilution, OA/QC corrective action plan) relating to the laboratory's analytical process for EPA Method T0-15. 3 A copy of the laboratory's most recent Method Detection Limit/Demonstration of Capability (MDL/DOC) Study for the compounds listed in Table 1 analyzed by EPA Method T0-15 in Full-Scan mode and SIM scan mode. 4 A copy of the laboratory's routine Quantitation Limits Reporting Limits (QLIRLs) for Full-Scan mode and for SIM Scan Mode analysis for compounds listed in Table 1. [Acceptable QL/RLs are either at or below the Reporting Limits for Full-Scan Mode Analysis and SIM Analysis for each compound listed in Table1. Laboratory's calculated MDL for each compound will be evaluated against the SCAN and SIM reporting limits listed in Table 1.] 5 A copy of the results from the most recent 'blind' Performance Evaluation samples analyzed by the laboratory for "VOCs in Air by Method T0-15." Report shall include laboratory reported results, 'true values' and acceptance value range for each compound. 6 Documentation indicating your laboratory żs capability to produce analytical data package, as described in Section Q of this SOW, and documentation indicating its capability to produce an electronic data deliverable (EDD), as described in Section R. Technically Acceptable Evaluation Criteria: Criteria will be evaluated and determined as Pass or Fail in accordance with the evaluation scheme set forth below. A vendor will "Pass" if the submitted documentation demonstrates that the vendor has an established, comprehensive quality control system; that it has active certificate(s) of accreditation/certification or that its SOPs are relevant to the SOW; and that the results of its testing meet the required floors and ceilings as provided in this solicitation. #1 The evaluation of the vendor's Quality Manual will be performed in order to determine whether the vendor has an established quality management system, including its policy and goals, procedures, systems, and any other resources that relate to producing high quality test results. #2 - The evaluation of the vendor's documentation of competency/ qualifications (that is, either 2a alone, or 2b and c together) will be performed in accordance with Environmental Protection Agency Policy Directive FEM-2011-01 http://www.epa.gov/fem/pdfs/fem-lab-competency-policy.pdf and the referenced documents within that Policy Directive. This FEM requires all organizations generating environmental data to submit documentation of their competency and qualifications in the fields of sampling and/or analysis to be conducted. The applicable field of analysis is VOCs in Air by EPA Method T0-15. For the documentation requested under this criteria, laboratories will not be given extra or less evaluation credit for selecting one type of documentation over the other. If an offeror submits all three items, the government will look only at the documentation under 2(a). #3- Passing MDL/DOC submission meeting, at a minimum 40 CFR Part 136 standards for acceptable MDL and DOC procedures. #4- QLs/RLs need to be at or below the required QL stated in Table1. #5- Passing PE results (within acceptable limits) for all compounds in Table 1. #6- Documentation is consistent with requirements specified in SOW. Past Performance Offerors shall submit a list of three contracts, orders, subcontracts, or suborders active in the last three years or currently in progress which are similar in scope, magnitude, relevance and complexity to this requirements.

Basis for award: Award will be made to up to three offerors who submit the lowest price quotes which are technically acceptable and have acceptable past performance. The lowest evaluated price to be calculated is the sum of the NTE maximum quantity extended amounts for each line item. In case of a discrepancy between a unit price and an extended price, the unit price will be presumed correct. This is subject to correction to the same extent and manner as any other mistake. Offerors shall be registered in SAM.gov prior to award. It is the Government żs intent to award a maximum of three awards. It is the intent of the Govt to make contract awards without discussions.
