The Contractor shall follow the quality control and assurance requirements for the performance of the analytical tests as stated by EPA.

3.8.2 As part of the proposal package, the Contractor shall

submit to the TPOC for approval, a written description of the Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) program that is to be followed by the laboratory throughout the contract period. The QA/QC program should cover laboratory equipment, facilities, personnel, calibration plans, reagent evaluation, and documentation of data quality and any other policies and plans that will be used by the Contractor to ensure the reliability of the laboratory test results.

3.8.3 QA/QC samples required to be analyzed under this contract by the EPA or other regulatory agencies will be considered part of the Contractor’s quality control program for this contract.

Laboratory analyses for these samples shall be the responsibility of the Contractor and the Government shall not be billed for them.

3.8.4 Split-sampling and blind-sampling shall be performed by NSWCDD as required by federal, state, and local statutes.

NSWCDD reserves the right to send these samples to other

Contractors or to Commonwealth of Virginia laboratories to maintain QA/QC standards.

3.8.5 The Contractor shall submit to regular and random

inspections by NSWCDD personnel or their representatives. The Contractor shall respond in writing to any deficiencies reported. Follow-up inspections may be conducted to verify corrective actions.

3.8.6 The Contractor shall participate in all rounds of the

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program and shall maintain a proficient rating.

3.9 As part of the proposal package, the Contractor shall

submit information regarding the use of, and percentage of use of, subcontractor(s). In addition, the proposals shall include proof that the proposed subcontractor(s) have complied with all required licenses and permits. NSWCDD shall be notified by the prime contractor of any decisions to either add new subcontractors to the list or change any subcontractors previously identified within 10 calendar days prior to the addition or change. NSWCDD shall be provided with all proofs of compliance prior to adding any new subcontractors.

3.10 The Contractor shall submit as part of the proposal

package, a parameter list indicating the laboratory analytical methods, detection limits, and references for the methods to be used in the analysis for each of the parameters listed in subtasks 3.1.1-3.1.3.

4.0 DELIVERABLES

4.1 The analytical requirements and approximate number of

samples to be submitted for analysis are detailed in subtasks 3.1.1-3.1.3. Results and the associated data packages (validation report) for all analyses shall meet CLP format requirements. Data packages shall be fully valid and contain summary forms for all sample and laboratory method blank data, and summary forms containing all methods specific to quality control (results recoveries, relative percent differences, relative standard deviation, and/or percent differences, etc.).

The data package shall contain a detailed case narrative for all analytical fractions.

4.1.1 In many cases, analysis of specific parameters will be

requested that will not include all the parameters the method is capable of quantifying. In these cases, report only the specific parameters requested; do not report parameters that were not requested.

4.1.2 Electronic Data Requirements: Lab results shall be

forwarded electronically to the TPOC to meet specific turnaround time requirements.

4.1.3 The Contractor shall provide the lab analyses results and an invoice to the TPOC before payment can be accepted through Wide Area Work Flow.
