This base year contract with four option years requires the Contractor to deliver an ISO 17025 accredited report and calibration stamp for each instrument, while accommodating

Government-scheduled service dates and fluctuating equipment quantities – allowing for annual adjustments to the number and type of instruments calibrated – with all travel expenses fully incorporated into the contract price.

5.2. Task Heading. Tasks consist of the following:

5.2.1. Schedule Coordination with the Government: The Contractor will coordinate with the Government to schedule four annual on-site calibration visits to Dugway Proving Ground (DPG), covering all associated travel expenses and providing all necessary calibration equipment. Prior to each visit, the Contractor shall verify that their equipment is fully functional, recently calibrated at an ISO 17025 accredited facility and traceable to NIST or equivalent standards, and appropriate for calibrating the specific DPG equipment scheduled for service.

a) Standard:

• Base Year: Coordinate with the Government to confirm dates and the number/type of equipment available for calibration during each visit.

• Option Years: Utilize a record of the number and type of equipment calibrated in the previous year to proactively propose a calibration schedule to the Government for review and approval. This schedule will be designed to ensure all equipment is calibrated within its annual calibration cycle and prevent any overdue calibrations, facilitating efficient planning and minimizing scheduling conflicts.

AQL:100% Compliant

5.2.2. On-site support from certified ISO 17025 technician: The contractor shall operate a laboratory that is formally accredited to ISO 17025 by a recognized accreditation body, such as A2LA. This accreditation confirms that the lab meets international standards for competence in testing and calibration. The contractor shall provide service technicians who have documented education or training and experience relevant to the calibration tasks of analytical balances, flow meters, flow controllers, digital thermometers and analytical weight sets.

a) Standard: The proposal package shall include documentation demonstrating the contractor’s ISO

17025 accreditation by a recognized accreditation body, such as A2LA, as well as proof of relevant training and qualifications for each service technician performing calibrations on the specified equipment types.

AQL:100% Compliant

b) Standard: The contractor shall include in their proposal package a summary of the ISO 17025 calibration procedures intended for use on each equipment type (analytical balances, flow meters, flow controllers, digital thermometers, and analytical weight sets) along with the uncertainty values from their ISO accredited calibration methods. This will provide the Government with visibility into the calibration process, ensuring alignment with ISO 17025 standards and traceability to appropriate standards; detailed technical specifics are not required, but a clear overview of the documented procedures is necessary.

AQL:100% Compliant

c) Standard: The contractor shall verify US citizenship of their personnel who will perform the service at Dugway. This verification must be sent to the Contracting Officer's Representative

(COR) via email within 24 hours after scheduling an onsite service.

The standard doesn't apply if the same person/service technician of the contractor comes to

Dugway to perform the service the second time.

5.2.3. Prior to performing services at DPG, the contractor shall complete all required training in section

1.6.19 of this PWS.

a) Standard: Submit training completion documentation to the COR at least 24 hours before the initial on-site service at DPG.

5.2.4. Maintain ISO 17025 Accreditation: Continuously maintain valid ISO 17025 accreditation throughout the contract period.
