Summary of Water Quality Laboratory Equipment Calibration RFQ

This document pertains to Request for Quotes (RFQ) 2024-48 issued by Clackamas Water Environment Services (WES), a water quality agency in Clackamas County, Oregon. The RFQ seeks calibration and certification services for laboratory equipment across three WES facilities, including thermometers, balances, weights, pipettes, pH meters, and other scientific measurement instruments. All calibration services must comply with ORELAP Accreditation and NELAC requirements, with vendors required to produce A2LA and NIST accredited reports. The submission deadline is June 13, 2024, at 2:00 PM PST, with the resulting contract effective for a five-year term. Key deliverables include detailed service documentation, both onsite and offsite calibration options, technical support, and comprehensive certification reports for each laboratory instrument.

Evaluation criteria emphasize vendor experience, service offerings, pricing rates, references, and calibration turnaround times. No specific contract value is disclosed in the solicitation; however, the five-year duration and scope suggest a potentially substantial procurement. The RFQ does not identify an incumbent vendor or specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged business enterprises, indicating the opportunity is open to all qualified professional calibration service providers meeting the required accreditations and technical capabilities. Vendors must demonstrate compliance with technical standards, provide competitive pricing with potential discount structures, and satisfy standard insurance requirements typical of professional services contracts.
