Description: Acquire annual subscription services for scheduled proficiency tests in support of the AFMES/AFDIL Proficiency tests are required to maintain certification and accreditation by ASCLD/LAB-International. Accreditation requires that scientists be tested to the full extent of their casework activities, at least twice a year. Proficiency tests will be ordered by AFMES personnel from approved vendors and scheduled to allow the proficiency tests to be spread across and delivered at specified intervals throughout the year. Staggered scheduling prevents casework delays that would occur if proficiency tests arrived all at one time. Tests will be performed on a quarterly basis for assigned analysts and results sent back to the approved vendor for final analysis and results.
