Purchase Order DOLB089F27053

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) awarded a $7,150 firm fixed-price purchase order to the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) on March 13, 2008, for biennial laboratory accreditation services. The contract, which had an ultimate completion date of August 30, 2008, was performed in Washington, DC, and utilized no set-aside designation, indicating AIHA competed on a full and open basis. AIHA, a nonprofit organization headquartered in Falls Church, Virginia, specializes in industrial hygiene, occupational health, and environmental safety services, offering laboratory accreditation, proficiency testing, and analytical services related to chemical, biological, and environmental hazards.

This contract represents AIHA's support for OSHA's mission to ensure workplace safety and health standards. AIHA's laboratory accreditation services are critical to maintaining the quality and reliability of testing performed by occupational health laboratories across federal and private sectors. The relatively modest contract value reflects a specific, time-limited accreditation engagement consistent with OSHA's periodic laboratory certification requirements. AIHA's history of federal contracting across multiple agencies, including the Defense Health Agency, Naval Sea Systems Command, and the Mine Safety and Health Administration, demonstrates its established capability to deliver specialized laboratory and proficiency testing services that support federal workplace safety objectives.
