The U.S. Department of the Interior's National Park Service, Southeast Region, awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order to Professional Environmental Testing and Consulting, LLC (doing business as PE Testing & Consulting LLC) for courier and water sample testing services at Everglades National Park. This woman-owned small business sole source set-aside contract, valued at $96,374.50, was awarded on December 25, 2020, with an ultimate completion date of October 31, 2025. The contract will be performed in Homestead, Florida, and involves the collection, transport, and laboratory analysis of water samples to support environmental monitoring and compliance activities within the park.
The modification to this contract was issued to ensure adherence to updated federal guidance, eliminate non-statutory sustainability requirements, and enhance representational and certification clauses. These adjustments reflect evolving federal compliance standards while maintaining the core services necessary for Everglades National Park's water quality monitoring and environmental stewardship mission. The extended performance period through October 2025 allows for comprehensive, ongoing testing support to inform park management and regulatory compliance efforts.
