The contract has a ceiling value of $37,462.00 and is for the analysis of approximately 200 environmental samples to determine pyrogenic carbon concentration. The samples were collected from wildfire-affected areas between 2021-2023 and require analysis to be completed by June 30, 2025.
The original solicitation was an unrestricted, trade-off-based procurement under NAICS code 541380 for Testing Laboratories and Services. Key evaluation factors included technical capability, experience, past performance, and price. Universite Laval, which has previously conducted research projects funded by federal agencies like the National Institutes of Health, was selected to perform the required pyrogenic carbon analyses on the pre-processed samples.
