Opportunity Summary

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 19, is soliciting proposals to establish a five-year Blanket Purchase Agreement for water sample laboratory testing services. This requirement supports the Sheridan VA Health Care System in Sheridan, Wyoming, specifically targeting facility water treatment plant systems that serve specialized medical services. Contractors must maintain laboratory certification under the Safe Drinking Water Act specific to the State of Wyoming and demonstrate experience with facilities of similar size and complexity. While most testing must be performed by an EPA Region 8 certified laboratory, endotoxin LAL tests are exempt from this specific certification requirement but must still meet established timeframe standards.

The scope of work requires the operational capability to receive and deliver samples within 24 hours of collection at the facility. Because chlorine levels dissipate rapidly and can impact coliform count accuracy, the provider must maintain logistical operations free from restrictions that could delay time-sensitive analysis. Evaluation of logistical capacity will include the ability to navigate potential delays caused by Sheridan’s remote location, inclement weather, and local shipping distribution.

This solicitation, identified as 36C25921Q0389, is classified under NAICS 541380 for Testing Laboratories and Services and PSC Q301 for Medical- Laboratory Testing. Proposals are due by August 20, 2021, and should be directed to the point of contact, Monica R. Gary. The solicitation includes six attachments, featuring price schedules, monitoring requirements, and Wage Determination WD 2015-5411.

Original Description

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Network Contracting Office 19 (NCO 19) is seeking to award a five-year Blanket Purchase Order (BPA) to one or more responsible offerors to provide Water Sample Lab Testing Services for the Sheridan VA Health Care System, Sheridan, WY. Vendors are required to review the Instructions to Offerors. To fully qualify in performing services on this Blanket Purchase Agreement, and per this PWS, the Contractor must demonstrate, and maintain throughout the life of the Blanket Purchase Agreement, the following qualifying requirements: have experience with facility of a similar size, capacity and nature as the VA Medical Center in Sheridan, WY, such as where the facility uses water treatment plant systems that provide water to specialized medical services, and laboratory certification in the Safe Drinking Water Act, specific to the State of Wyoming (refer to EPA Region 8 Certified Drinking Water Laboratories, https://www.epa.gov/region8-waterops/epa-region-8-certified-drinking-water-laboratories) . laboratory shall be qualified to perform endotoxin LAL tests and laboratory must maintain testing timeframes. Endotoxin LAL tests are the only tests in this Blanket Purchase Agreement that are not required to be accomplished by an EPA R8 qualified laboratory. Refer to the Tasks and Requirements, and any other EPA and WDEQ potable water analysis certification requirements for laboratory and technicians to perform services of this nature, and operational capability to be able to receive and deliver samples within 24 hours of samples being taken at facility, and logistical operations that are free from restrictions and risks that may unnecessarily delay analysis of time-sensitive samples. For example, chlorine level dissipates rapidly therefore growth in sampling would not be representative of the true coliform count if the samples failed to reach the laboratory in time for accurate and true analysis. Consideration must be given to potentially unreliable local mail distribution and shipping, and hindrances from inclement weather, or other logistical factors surrounding Sheridan s remote location which may cause delays.
