A02. PWS Attach 4 - Limit of Quantitation (LOQ) v2.docx

This is an attachment to a Performance Work Statement that establishes Limit of Quantitation (LOQ) requirements for trace metal sample analysis. The document specifies the minimum detectable concentration levels for various trace metals that must be achieved during laboratory testing, serving as a quality assurance standard for the analytical work performed under the contract.

The LOQ attachment defines the quantitative thresholds for metals analysis, ensuring that the contractor's laboratory capabilities meet or exceed the government's minimum sensitivity requirements. This technical specification is critical to the solicitation issued by the Defense Health Agency Contracting Activity (DHACA) under solicitation number HT942726RE010, which seeks qualified sources to perform trace metals analysis on samples. The document functions as part of the measurable performance standards that vendors must demonstrate they can achieve, with the NAICS code 541380 (Testing Laboratories) and a size standard of $19 million applying to this commercial items procurement under FAR Part 12.
