The document is a Business Reference Form for a Request for Response (RFR) issued by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP). The RFR seeks qualified analytical laboratories to perform testing for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), an emerging contaminant, that may be entering public and private water supplies in the Commonwealth. The bidder must provide a number of business references, and these references will be contacted to confirm the bidder's abilities and qualifications. The department may deem the bidder's response unresponsive if a reference is not obtainable from a listed reference after reasonable attempts.

The related state and local contract opportunity is for PFAS Analytical Lab Services, where MassDEP intends to solicit bids from qualified contractors to assist in determining the extent of PFAS contamination in the Commonwealth's public and private water supplies. No further details are provided regarding pricing terms, set asides, incumbents, funding requirements and sources, or contract term and renewal options.
