Federal Supply Schedule GS10F0302S

BSA Environmental Services Inc., a small business environmental consulting firm, holds a Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract with the General Services Administration (GSA) that is being utilized by various federal agencies to procure the company's specialized aquatic analysis services. Under this contract, BSA has been awarded several delivery orders and a Blanket Purchase Agreement collectively valued at over $3 million to provide phytoplankton identification, counting, and biovolume analysis, as well as other water sample analyses, to support the environmental research and monitoring programs of agencies such as the U.S. Geological Survey, Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and Fish and Wildlife Service. The contracted services, which are primarily performed at BSA's facility in Beachwood, Ohio, assist these civilian and defense agencies in assessing phytoplankton and zooplankton populations, conducting cyanotoxin testing, and analyzing aquatic samples to inform their water resource management initiatives across diverse geographic regions. Several of the delivery orders are set aside for small businesses, reflecting BSA's status as a specialized environmental services provider to the federal government.

In addition to the delivery orders, BSA holds two Blanket Purchase Agreements under the MAS contract, one with the U.S. Geological Survey for $55,000 to provide phytoplankton and periphyton analyses, and another previously awarded by the Bureau of Reclamation for an unspecified ceiling value to support the agency's water sample analysis requirements. These long-term contract vehicles allow the agencies to flexibly issue task orders to BSA for its customized aquatic support services as needed to complement their ongoing research, monitoring, and resource management initiatives within their respective jurisdictions.
