The U.S. EPA, Office of Water, Office of Ground Water and Drinking Water, Technical Support Center has a requirement for laboratory analyses and reporting of microbiological, radionuclide, and or chemical analyses data in support of the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule. The Safe Drinking Water Act previously established an unregulated contaminant monitoring program by which public water systems monitored for up to 48 contaminants considered to be potential drinking water contaminants. Unregulated contaminant monitoring of public water systems informs the public about contaminants not previously observed in their water systems. This information is used in determining whether a contaminant occurs at a frequency and in concentrations to warrant further analysis and research on potential health effects. The laboratory analyses under this solicitation will require the contractor to analyze water samples by strictly following all of the procedures detailed in analytical methods specified and provided by the EPA. The EPA anticipates a multiple award, IDIQ type contract with a five year period of performance. This procurement is 100% set-aside for small businesses. The applicable SIC code is 8742. Solicitation PR-CI-00-10887 will be released through the Internet on the EPA's home page at www.epa.gov/oam/cmd_cinn/. It is anticipated that this solicitation will be available by mid July 2000.
