Blanket Purchase Agreement of Laboratory Analyses Services for Worldwide Support

Attached to this advertisement are pre-award evaluation procedures, proposal requirements for responsiveness and responsibility determinations, and a full set of objectives and standards for future ordering and performance. The solicitation utilizes source selection procedures which require offerors to submit a technical proposal, past performance and experience information, and pricing quotes for evaluation by the Government; details of submittal and evaluation are listed at provisions 52.212-1 and 52.212-2, respectively. Additionally, please make note of the mandatory format for quoting pricing of laboratory analyses services and directly-associated laboratory supplies. Note: copies of NAVFAC Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) forms have been newly posted in the attachments as of December 29, 2025; in accordance with Federal regulations, the Government's preferred source of past performance are records at CPARS.gov (see FAR Subpart 42.15), but these PPQ forms may be used for state, municipal, and/or private sector projects that are appropriate as past performance.

The Government may award an agreement to up to three (3) Contractors, at the Government's discretion and convenience. The Government will give fair consideration to all awardees in placing orders based on criteria stated in the solicitation.  

This will be a new procurement. It does not directly replace an existing contract. No prior contract information exists. UPDATED: The Government will only accept offers from Small Business concerns, but please be advised that there are also strict accreditation requirements (e.g. NELAP) to be considered as a responsible vendor. Interested, eligible Small Business concerns should, as early as possible but not later than 15 days of this notice, indicate interest in the acquisition by providing to the contracting office above evidence of capability to perform and a positive statement of eligibility as a small business concern. Competition between eligible vendors will be conducted to ensure best value selection, under Simplified Acquisition Procedures (ref: FAR Subpart 13.5 Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Products and Commercial Services). As sufficient interest was not received from WOSB concerns, the solicitation has been amended to a wider Small Business set-aside to ensure the requirements are fulfilled. [i.e. Amendment 0002]

The due date for formal proposals and quotes is listed at the SAM.gov record of this combined synopsis/solicitation, is subject to change, and changes will also be posted dutifully to the SAM.gov record for public distribution. UPDATE: the RFI event has closed for participation, and responses to questions, as well as historical data from the Government's records, have been posted as Attachment JL-1 to the combined synopsis/solicitation for informational purposes. 

A commercial determination has been found, applicable to the Performance Work Statement (PWS) for laboratory analyses services, and so the use of provisions and clauses at FAR 12.301(b)(1-4) is applied; vendors must download attachments.

Performance of laboratory services is intended to take place at the offeror’s facilities. For administrative convenience, the contracting command’s zip code will be utilized (93043).
