About this opportunity
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 4 has issued a Special Notice announcing its intent to sole source a contract for ISO/IEC 17025:2017 Forensic and Water Quality Accreditation for its Laboratory Services & Applied Science Division. This notice, identified by the Federal Contract Opportunity ID a396159b8ddd4345a8fb855fd8efa2ed, was posted on February 19, 2025, with a response deadline of March 12, 2025. The contract is classified under NAICS Category 541990 for All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services, with a specific PSC Category of R420 for Professional Support Certifications and Accreditations. The sole source procurement indicates the EPA has identified a specific contractor deemed most suitable for this specialized accreditation work. The notice emphasizes this is not a formal solicitation but a preliminary notification of the agency's contracting intent.
The primary objective of this notice is to secure a contractor for laboratory accreditation services, with a contract structure comprising a base year and four additional option years. The sole source approach suggests the selected contractor possesses unique capabilities or expertise critical to meeting the EPA Region 4's stringent accreditation requirements for forensic and water quality testing. No specific set-aside has been indicated, potentially allowing broad contractor participation. The ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard represents a critical quality management and technical competence framework for testing and calibration laboratories, indicating the contract will require high-level technical precision and compliance. Potential contractors should carefully review the specialized nature of the accreditation services and understand the comprehensive scope of work involving laboratory quality management. The March 12, 2025 deadline represents a critical date for interested parties to engage with the EPA regarding this potential opportunity.
