The Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $8,443 firm fixed-price purchase order to Chemtech-Ford, Inc. for wastewater testing and analysis services at its Flaming Gorge Field Division facilities in Dutch John, Utah. The award, made on September 15, 2022, represents a modification to closeout remaining contract line item numbers. Chemtech-Ford specializes in environmental and analytical services, including wastewater analysis and water quality assessment, and has maintained federal contractor status since 2002. The contract does not utilize a set-aside designation, though the originating solicitation was posted as a Total Small Business set-aside on June 3, 2022, with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2025.
This engagement reflects the Bureau of Reclamation's need for specialized laboratory analytical services to support operations and regulatory compliance at its western water resource facilities. Chemtech-Ford's demonstrated expertise in environmental testing across multiple federal agencies, including prior work for the Department of Agriculture Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management, positioned the firm to deliver the precise analytical services required for monitoring wastewater at the Flaming Gorge facility, a significant hydroelectric and water storage project on the Green River along the Utah-Wyoming border.
