Description

This is an unrestricted solicitation. The objective of this purchase order is the analysis of samples from in-house projects examining removal efficiencies for the CCL chemicals by conventional drinking water treatments. To meet our research and QC/QA needs, the contractor shall use EPA methods for the analyses, to have acceptable minimum detection levels ( MDL ) for all analytes as described in the method, and where applicable, to be certified by EPA and/or the appropriate state agency for the requested analyte. The following methods will be used: 502.2 (alt 524.2); 507 (alt 525.2); 508 (alt 508.1); 515.2; 524.2; 525.2; 8270; 8141; and 8321. Some requested analytes do not currently have an approved method however, it is anticipated that some of the requested methods will be certified for these analytes in the near term. Should no method be certified additional requests for other analytes may be substituted. Samples will primarily be drinking water, spiked with the analyte of interest, that has undergone drinking water treatment e.g., membrane filtration, coagulation or GAC filtration. Approximately 20-30 samples will be generated per week. Approximately 1000 samples will be analyzed. The purchase order will include an option for up to 500 additional samples. Some of the methods have a 4-hour extraction requirement. Quoters must demonstrate the ability to meet this requirement. Requests for a copy of the solicitation should be made via e-mail.
