PriceCost Schedule Updated.xlsx

This is a Price/Cost Schedule template for a Department of Veterans Affairs water testing contract. The VA seeks per-test pricing for water sampling, analysis, and results management services across five Ohio facilities (Cincinnati, Chillicothe, Columbus, Cleveland, and Dayton) under an IDIQ firm-fixed-price contract vehicle set aside 100% for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB). Contractors must provide all-inclusive pricing for each individual test that encompasses sample collection, site visits, laboratory analysis, and reporting. Required tests include Legionella culture testing, heterotrophic plate count (HPC), coliforms and E. coli analysis, water quality panels (domestic, critical and AER, utility, steam, potable, cooling tower, and SPS), individual parameter testing (pH, alkalinity, hardness, conductivity, chloride, copper, iron, manganese, TOC, turbidity, endotoxin, and others), and post-remediation testing. Historical data provided indicates varying volumes across facilities, with routine weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annual testing requirements supplemented by ad-hoc retesting needs.

The pricing structure accommodates equivalent tests under different names and allows for price variations across the five-year contract base year plus four option years. All testing must comply with VHA Directives 1061, 1116, and ST108. The template includes line items for administrative support, reporting services, sample collection kits, chain of custody documentation, non-routine dental waterline sampling, corrective action materials (biocides, remediation supplies), and testing supplies such as free chlorine powder pillows and rapid bio intelligence test strips. Contractors must submit proposals using the completed Price/Cost Schedule by September 29, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST, with questions due by September 23, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST to Thomas.Bellamy@va.gov and Jennifer.Nowak@va.gov.
