CO Rocky Flats NWR - Analysis of Tissue Samples

The Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service is seeking laboratory testing services for the analysis of tissue samples at the Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge in Colorado. This procurement falls under NAICS code 541380 for Testing Laboratories and Services and PSC code B534 for Special Studies/Analysis - Wildlife, indicating the government requires specialized analytical capabilities for wildlife tissue examination. The solicitation appears to be related to ongoing environmental monitoring efforts, as evidenced by attached government files referencing preliminary sampling of Rocky Mountain elk and previous analytical work conducted by GEL Laboratories LLC. Contractors will need to demonstrate expertise in chemical analysis of biological tissue samples and compliance with federal testing standards. The solicitation was posted on July 31, 2025, with responses due by August 14, 2025, providing potential offerors a two-week window for proposal preparation.

This opportunity does not include any set-aside designation and appears to be available for competition among all qualified contractors. GEL Laboratories LLC is identified as a previous contractor based on the 2023 final report included in the government files, suggesting they may be an incumbent or recently completed similar work for the Fish and Wildlife Service. While specific award values are not disclosed in the solicitation notice, the scope appears to involve chemical analysis of wildlife tissue samples collected from the Rocky Flats area. The work will likely be performed at the contractor's certified laboratory facilities, though coordination with the Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge in Colorado will be required. The timeline for services and specific quantities of samples to be analyzed are not detailed in the basic solicitation information but would presumably be outlined in the full solicitation document referenced as Sol_140FS225Q0173.pdf.
