The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded a purchase order to BSA Environmental Services Inc. for $53,000.00 on September 14, 2026, for microcystin analysis services with a completion date of September 13, 2027. Work is performed in Beachwood, Ohio. The order requires the contractor to furnish all labor, materials, and equipment necessary for microcystin toxin analysis of water samples collected from Lake Erie and Lake Huron. Analysis must employ liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to quantify eight microcystin congeners and additional metabolites including Anabaenopetin variants, Oscillamide, Cyanopeptolin, and others using approved phycotoxin standards. The contractor must perform comprehensive quality assurance and quality control procedures, with government-furnished samples provided on filters. The work supports the Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory's harmful algal bloom research mandated under the Harmful Algal Bloom and Hypoxia Research and Control Act.
