The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) is issuing this Sources Sought announcement for Analytical Chemistry Analysis Services to determine interest, availability and capability of businesses to supply the services as described below:

The Contractor shall provide services for analysis of water, soil, and tissue samples for various physical and chemical analyses.

All USACE owned coolers and materials must be returned to USACE or the designated sampling crew within 10 days of receipt of samples (return address will be listed on the cooler or provided via email in advance). These projects will include water, soil, and tissue samples. Due to the nature of our work these samples will not be considered “clean” drinking water and shall be treated as non-potable water / complex matrices, and therefore will often require extraction clean up or other matrix and interference reduction processing to achieve desired reporting limits. The contractor will need to notify the Government in advance of analyses not performed in-house. All contractors must have National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (NELAP) and/or Department of Defense (DOD) Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELAP) accreditation for all requested analyses. Data reports will consist of custom excel files matching meeting the minimum criteria in Technical Exhibit B, in addition the contractor will provide a PDF report. All data must be delivered to the Government POCs within 30 calendar days of sample receipt.
