Blanket Purchase Agreement 140R2021A0027

The Bureau of Reclamation awarded a multiple-award blanket purchase agreement to Vitisystems Inc., doing business as Caltest Analytical Laboratory, to provide organic parameter testing services for water samples. The potential value of the IDV is $450,000 with a period of performance from April 2021 through March 2026.

Under the terms of the IDV, Caltest Analytical Laboratory will analyze water samples collected by the Bureau of Reclamation to test for specified organic compounds. The Bureau of Reclamation manages water and power infrastructure projects throughout the Western United States and relies on timely water quality data from analytical service providers to support operations. Subsequent firm-fixed price calls against the IDV were awarded to Caltest Analytical Laboratory for organic water testing in various locations including Sacramento, Napa County, and California. Award values ranged from zero to $10,000 to be completed by expiration dates as late as March 2026.

The original pre-solicitation notice sought capability statements from laboratories interested in providing services under the contemplated IDV to test Bureau of Reclamation water samples for organic parameters using approved EPA methods. Respondents were required to demonstrate testing experience, resources, and past performance on similar work. The solicitation noted the Bureau of Reclamation's need for contractor support in environmental monitoring programs throughout the Western United States.
