PACN_Nutrients_SOW_CoC_for_Laboratory_Analysis_Template.xlsx

This file is a Chain of Custody template for water quality laboratory analysis samples managed by the National Park Service's Pacific Island Network (PACN) Inventory and Monitoring Program. The template is designed to track water samples collected from four sample types: streams, anchialine pools or brackish waters, marine surface waters, and marine bottom waters. The form documents the transfer of custody between field personnel and the laboratory, capturing essential information including park sample identification, collection site, date collected, sample type, filtration status, and requested analytical parameters.

The analytical data requested includes Total Dissolved Phosphorus (TDP), Total Dissolved Nitrogen (TDN), Nitrite plus Nitrate (NO2+3), Total Phosphorus (TP), and Total Nitrogen (TN). The template specifies that TP and TN analyses are performed on unfiltered samples, while TDP, TDN, and NO2+3 analyses on unfiltered samples require filtering after TP and TN completion if both are requested. The form uses color-coded lettering conventions to distinguish filtered (black) from unfiltered (red) samples. The template accommodates up to 352 samples with space for notes and includes contact information for the NPS program coordinator. This is a standard operational template rather than a solicitation document with specific performance requirements, pricing, or award terms.
