6. PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS

6.1. Objective 1 – The Contractor shall perform laboratory analysis on non-drinking water, soil, sludge, and sediment samples provided by the Government. The contractor shall follow strict Chain-Of- Custody (COC) procedures as defined in the contractor’s COC Standard Operating Procedure.

6.1.1. All compounds in PWS Attachment 2 must be reported when the corresponding method is requested (Deliverable 3). The limits of quantitation (LOQ) (PWS Attachment 4) in are to be met for all analytes. The contractor laboratory’s low calibration standard must be equal to or lower than the contractor laboratory’s established and verified LOQ. If any LOQ cannot be met for a particular sample due to matrix interference, the COR must be notified of this situation within 48 hours of identification of the missed standard for discussion prior to finalizing analysis and reporting.

6.1.2. Key Task 1 – Receipt and Storage of Samples prior to analysis. The Government will send samples for analysis to the Contractor facility. Each container contains specific parameters for which the sample must be analyzed. The contractor is responsible for storing and handling the samples in accordance with the analytical method specifications.

6.1.2.1. Samples will be provided to the Contractor either through a contractor provided courier (if requested by the Contractor and approved by the COR), shipment from DCPH-A, or shipment directly from the field. The Contractor shall adhere to requirements for type of sample containers, sample preservation and holding times as dictated by the analytical methods, specific regulatory guidance, and/or other established guidance. If any of this information is not clearly identified in the reference method (for the particular matrix), or if there is no method reference (see PWS Attachment 2) or other established guidance, then the information must be agreed to by the COR and the contract lab.

6.1.2.2. Sample Pickup Protocol from the DCPH-A lab. If applicable, the contractor’s courier shall be responsible for pickup (from DCPH-A), packaging and delivery of samples. Samples shall be picked up by the contractor’s courier within 24 hours of notification by the COR or a designated representative. The courier is responsible for packaging and transporting the samples under conditions dictated in the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) methodology. At the time of sample pickup by the contractor (if applicable), the samples and required tests will be identified by the COR on a Pickup Order/ Delivery Order (External Chain of Custody) Form. This document shall be signed and dated by the COR or designee to document the date and time of sample transfer to the contract lab. The contractor courier shall date and sign the Pickup Order form to document the transfer of possession of the sample(s). A contractor representative shall document the transfer of possession from the courier to the contract lab facility to include sample receipt conditions and temperature. The contractor shall immediately report in writing to the COR all samples lost or broken in transit. In addition, the conditions of sample receipt (to include temperature) must be reported to the COR upon receipt. Analysis for samples with receipt conditions outside acceptance criteria must receive acknowledgement from the COR to proceed with analysis.

6.1.2.3. Sample Shipment Protocol from the DCPH-A lab. If applicable, DCPH-A personnel will be responsible to package samples and ship them to the contractor. Please note that DCPH-A shall pay the shipping costs for transportation of the samples. The Contractor and DCPH-A shall store and/or ship samples in accordance with the preservation guidelines as noted in the analytical method until samples are analyzed, and thereafter until results are approved by the COR. The contractor shall immediately report all samples lost or broken in shipment, with as much detail as possible, to the COR. In addition, the conditions of sample receipt (to include temperature) must be reported to the COR upon receipt. Analysis for samples with receipt conditions outside acceptance criteria must receive acknowledgement from the COR to proceed with analysis.

6.1.2.4. Direct shipment of samples from the field to the contractor. If holding times are of concern, there may be a necessity to ship the samples to the contract lab directly from the field following collection. The DCPH-A field sampler will ship the samples and a corresponding field Chain-of- Custody (COC) document to the contract lab. When the contract lab receives the samples and corresponding field COC forms, the contractor shall sign the COC forms verifying receipt of samples and immediately (within the same business day of receipt) forward the field COC to the COR for review, accountability, and LIMS login at the DCPH-A. The contractor shall also report to the COR the condition of the samples upon receipt (to include receipt temperature) at the contractor lab. The COR shall use project planning information and the information on the COC form to generate a Pickup Order Form containing all applicable information (i.e., DCPH-A lab ID, DCPH-A field ID, analyses requested, matrix, points-of-contact, etc.). The generated pickup order form will be forwarded electronically to the contract laboratory. The contractor shall then begin sample analysis. The Contractor shall assure that the contract laboratory analyzes the sample within holding times specified in applicable methodology. If paperwork from the COR is pending, the contract lab should obtain guidance from the COR to proceed with analysis to meet holding times. The Contractor shall perform testing within all applicable method required holding times or provide notification for samples received within two (2) days of the expiration of holding time. If samples are received and not prepared/analyzed (according to the applicable method) with more than two (2) days remaining of the recommended holding time, include in the final report the comment “Sample was received and analyzed past holding time. This does not meet regulatory requirements.”

6.1.3. Key Task 2 – Perform Sample Analysis within the stated Turnaround Time (TAT). The Government will designate samples as either “STANDARD”, “HIGH PRIORITY”, “TOP PRIORITY” or “URGENT”. Turnaround times are calculated from the date of contractor receipt of samples at the contractor facility to the date of receipt of analysis result acceptance by the Government. For each sample designation, the contractor shall complete the analysis within the following TAT timeframes:

STANDARD: 20 Calendar days from date of sample receipt.

HIGH PRIORITY: Eight (8) Calendar days from the date of sample receipt.

TOP PRIORITY: Five (5) Calendar days from the date of sample receipt URGENT: Three (3) Calendar days from date of sample receipt

6.1.3.1. The Government anticipates that 75% of required analyses will be marked STANDARD, 15% HIGH PRIORITY, 5% TOP PRIORITY, and 5% URGENT per contract year. Natural disasters or military mobilization may alter these estimates.

6.1.3.2. For each sample, the contractor shall perform analyses for the compounds and organisms listed PWS Attachment 4 according to their stated parameters and methodologies. Any special analyses or additional testing requirements will be stated on the sample. It is anticipated that the contractor shall perform between 3,000 and 10,000 samples per year. Natural disasters or military mobilization may alter these estimates.

6.1.3.3. The contractor shall follow strict quality assurance and quality control protocol, in compliance with the Department of Defense (DoD) Quality Systems Manual (QSM; version the lab is accredited to), applicable analytical methods (PWS Attachment 2) and laboratory Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Note that all method- specific quality assurance/quality control requirements (laboratory blanks, laboratory control samples, laboratory/method duplicates, matrix spikes (MSs) and matrix spike duplicates (MSDs), each at the method specified frequency) are considered incorporated in the contract, per field sample bid price (no additional charges for laboratory/method QA/QC). It is understood any project specified field QC samples (field duplicates, field blanks, project specified MS/MSDs above the method frequencies, etc.) will be charged the field sample rate.

6.1.4. Key Task 3 – Provide analytical results to the COR (Deliverable 8). The contractor shall submit the results of all analyses within the TAT timelines as described on the samples. The results shall be submitted electronically to the COR and include the information requested in the format outlined by the DoD/Department of Energy (DoE) QSM Appendix A: Reporting Requirements (PWS Attachment 6).

Extensions for matrix issues and sample analysis anomalies may be negotiated with the COR on a case-by-case basis. However, these issues must be made known to the COR when they occur and when the lab believes a delay is possible, not after the data package is overdue.

6.1.5. Key Task 4—Disposal of unused sample volumes and return of Government shipping containers. Unless otherwise directed by the COR, the contractor shall dispose of any unused sample volumes no earlier than 60 Calendar days from the date of acceptance of analytical results by the Government. Disposal shall be done in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations required by the contractor’s facility.

PWS ATTACHMENT 3 - GENERAL QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL REQUIREMENTS

Standard laboratory practices for laboratory cleanliness regarding glassware and apparatus must be in place and followed. Safe laboratory practices regarding reagents, solvents, and gases must also be followed.

When the contract laboratory (including all sub-contract laboratories) is performing sample analysis using the methods specified in Attachment 2 (and/or laboratory specific methods approved by DCPH-A) for this Performance Work Statement (PWS), the contract laboratory must follow all quality control guidelines specified in Attachment 3 of this PWS, the applicable reference methods, the corresponding laboratory SOPs, and the DoD Quality Systems Manual (QSM) (the version the laboratory is accredited to). This includes DoD QSM QA/QC acceptance criteria. Any modification of reference method QA/QC requirements must be documented in the laboratory’s corresponding analytical SOP and identified (in the SOP) as a deviation/difference from the reference method. Any project specific QA/QC requirements will take precedence over the above criteria (QSM, method, SOP). In the absence of project specific QA/QC acceptance criteria, the current QSM acceptance criteria will be used by the contract laboratory for batch control. For cases where methods/techniques performed under this PWS are not included in the most current version of the QSM tables, then method and/or in-house laboratory acceptance criteria/limits will be used for batch control.

In the event the contract laboratory does not meet accuracy and/or precision criteria for any QA/QC sample, the contract laboratory shall implement corrective actions according to the most current version of the DoD QSM. The contract lab’s in-house, statistically determined QC acceptance criteria for laboratory control samples (LCS) must be provided (in SOPs or otherwise) in the bid package for evaluation (and comparison to QSM criteria) by DCPH-A. All QC failures for which the QSM directs re- analysis or re-extraction must be communicated to DCPH-A when they occur, for discussion of corrective actions. QC failures for which the QSM directs re-analysis or re-extraction must not be made known to DCPH-A for the first time at the time the report is submitted.

All reported analytes must be spiked in the LCS, MS, and MSD for all methods in this statement of work (except for Aroclor analysis, which is spiked per the method). Toxaphene and Chlordane are exceptions. Any other proposed exceptions must be identified in the bid package for evaluations by DCPH-A.

DCPH-A may require site specific, method required quality control (MS/MSD) for some projects. The Contractor must specify the lab’s billing policy for project/site specific MS/MSD samples required by the DCPH-A. Any project specific MS/MSD requirements will be communicated in detail to the Contractor.
