This document is a Request for Quote (RFQ) Questions and Answers file for a Navy water testing services contract (RFQ No. N66001-26-Q-6020). The Q&A addresses technical specifications for water sample analysis, including acceptable analytical methods for anions, total dissolved solids (TDS), total organic carbon (TOC), and PFAS compounds. The Navy seeks comprehensive testing of water samples, with expected PFAS concentrations ranging from 20,000 to 800,000 ng/L. Key details include the requirement to analyze all 40 PFAS compounds, use of Excel electronic data deliverables, and confirmation that the Navy will cover return shipment of samples to the laboratory. The solicitation is for commercial testing services under the Testing Laboratories NAICS code (541380), with a small business size standard of $19.0 million, and will be pursued through full and open competition by the Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command.

RFQ Q&A Responses (in Bold):

1. In the proposal you state that the anions should be analyzed by 300.1. Are we able to analyze the anions by EPA 300.0? These are both ELAP/NELAC Approved methods. Sure that is fine.

1. In the proposal you request analysis of TDS by EPA 160.1. Are we able to analyze by SM 2540C? These are both ELAP/NELAC Approved methods. Yes, that is fine

1. In the proposal you request analysis of TOC by SM 5310C. Are we able to analyze by SM 5310B? These are both ELAP/NELAC Approved methods. Yes, that is fine

1. In the proposal you discuss the PFAS by 1633. It also state you may 1 compound or 10 compounds. Can you please detail which 10 compounds you are requesting? We are looking for all 40 compounds, not a subset, sorry for the confusion there.

1. What type of EDD are you requesting? (Excel, EDF, Equis) Excel

1. Is this quote to include the pricing of return shipment to the lab or will the Navy be covering the costs of the samples back to the lab? The Navy will cover return shipment

1. Expected concentrations of non-treated samples? This is hard to predict, but they will be high. Currently, one site is ~20,000 ng/L total PFAS and the other is ~800,000 ng/L total PFAS, but the sites might change. But expect them to be in the part-per-billion range for sure.
