Work is divided into two firm fixed-price CLINs: CLIN 0001 covers elemental profile analysis for the four heavy metals on up to 150 samples, and CLIN 0002 covers inorganic arsenic speciation analysis on up to 150 samples. The period of performance runs from June 24 through September 30, 2026. The contractor must deliver written reports within 30 days of sample receipt including detection results, contaminant quantities with reproducibility metrics, detailed methodology descriptions, validation processes, and limitations. Samples will be provided by GAO in secondary containers with identifying labels removed.

Evaluation requires submission of ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation certificates demonstrating coverage of all required tests, attestation of capability to meet SOW requirements, and pricing for all CLINs. Quotations remain valid for 120 days from the RFQ closing date. Submit quotations electronically to Jazmine Flores (FloresJ@gao.gov) and Glenn Hamilton (HamiltonGE@gao.gov). NAICS 541380, PSC Q301.
