About this file

This is a Geotechnical Laboratory Testing Requirements List that specifies the testing capabilities and methodologies that a laboratory contractor must be able to perform for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Savannah District. The document outlines approximately 40 distinct geotechnical testing procedures organized by test type and applicable ASTM standards, including sieve analysis (with and without hydrometer), Atterberg limits testing, organic content determination, water content analysis, soil classification, compaction testing (Standard and Modified Proctor methods), California Bearing Ratio (CBR) testing, permeability testing, unconfined compression testing, triaxial testing, consolidation testing, dispersive clay testing, and direct shear testing. Each testing method is listed with its corresponding ASTM designation and description, with columns indicating whether the prospective contractor is capable of performing each test.

The requirements list is referenced in conjunction with solicitation W912HN26QA018, a Request for Quote issued by USACE Savannah District for geotechnical laboratory testing services under a one-year base period plus five optional years. The selected laboratory will provide testing services for soil, rock, and aggregate materials collected by USACE drill crews for projects across all mission areas within the contiguous United States. This is an unrestricted acquisition (not set-aside for small business) issued under FAR part 12 for commercial services, with quotes to be submitted electronically to Mr. David A. Jimenez and Mr. Gerard F. Leo. The document includes a threaded comment requesting clarification on whether additional data specifications such as specific states, Method Detection Limits (MDL), Limits of Detection (LOD), and Limits of Quantitation (LOQ) are needed.
