About this file
This document is a letter reporting the results of asbestos testing performed on samples from Building 9549 at JBER, Alaska. The testing was conducted by LA Testing, an NVLAP-accredited laboratory, using polarized light microscopy. The results indicate that all samples tested negative for asbestos, except for one sample of joint compound that was found to contain asbestos.
The related federal contract opportunity is solicitation FA500024Q0047 for the replacement of approximately 19,101 square feet of carpet in Building 9549 at JBER, Alaska. Offerors should review the attached documents for complete details on this acquisition, which is being conducted by the Department of the Air Force's Pacific Air Forces.

773 Civil Engineer Squadron Attn: Mr. Jon Murdock 5333 Kenny Avenue
JBER, AK 99506
RE: JBER Building 9549 Asbestos Sample Analyses
Dear Mr. Murdock:
This letter is regarding the asbestos bulk samples from Building 9549 in JBER, AK that were dropped off at Satori Group’s office by SrA Dylan Harris on June 7, 2024.
The bulk samples were shipped under Chain of Custody procedures to LA Testing in Huntington Beach, California.
LA Testing is fully accredited by the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) for bulk asbestos fiber analysis. The samples were analyzed using polarized light microscopy (PLM) with dispersion staining in accordance with USEPA 600/R-93/116 test method.
For samples containing more than one separable layer of material, the report will include findings for each layer.
Each layer will be labeled with the sample number and material type (E.g. B0303-02-Tile, B0303-02-Mastic).
Review of the enclosed results indicates all samples tested negative for asbestos.
However, one sample, 14749456-9549-W1-Joint Compound, contained <1% Chrysotile asbestos. While this is not above the EPA regulatory limit, the presence of asbestos was detected. Materials that contain <1% asbestos are covered by Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) asbestos regulations which mandate specific engineering controls, work practices and prohibitions.
Please note that insufficient joint compound was present for analysis in sample 14749456-9549-W5, as reported by LA Testing. If materials that were not analyzed are to be disturbed during work activities, please provide additional materials for analysis or contact Satori Group to request additional sample collection as needed.
We recommend that the removal and disposal of materials containing any amount of asbestos be completed by an accredited abatement contractor in accordance with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations pertaining to the removal and disposal of asbestos.
This report is considered by Satori Group as confidential. Satori Group will not release this report to any persons who have not been previously approved in writing. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions concerning your results, or for any additional technical assistance.
Respectfully, Anna Scheiner Environmental Scientist ascheiner@gosatori.com mailto:ascheiner@gosatori.com

LA Testing maintains liability limited to cost of analysis . Interpretation and use of test results are the responsibility of the client. This report relates only to the samples reported above, and may not be reproduced, except in full, without written approval by LA Testing . LA Testing bears no responsibility for sample collection activities or analytical method limitations . The report reflects the samples as received. Results are generated from the field sampling data (sampling volumes and areas, locations, etc.) provided by the client on the Chain of Custody. Samples are within quality control criteria and met method specifications unless otherwise noted. The above analyses were performed in general compliance with Appendix E to Subpart E of 40 CFR (previously EPA 600/M4-82-020 “Interim
Method”) but augmented with procedures outlined in the 1993 (”final”) version of the method. This report must not be used by the client to claim product certification, approval, or endorsement by
NVLAP, NIST or any agency of the federal government . Non-friable organically bound materials present a problem matrix and therefore LA Testing recommends gravimetric reduction prior to analysis .
Unless requested by the client, building materials manufactured with multiple layers (i.e. linoleum, wallboard, etc.) are reported as a single sample. Estimation of uncertainty is available on request.
