Water and Wastewater Sampling and Testing

The National Park Service Southeast Region is soliciting water and wastewater sampling and testing services for Everglades National Park under NAICS code 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services). The contract requires annual testing of drinking water and wastewater to ensure compliance with Florida Department of Environmental Protection, EPA, and Florida Department of Health standards, including bacteriological, chemical, wastewater, and monitoring well sampling. Contractors must provide weekly sample pickups, laboratory analysis using approved methods, chain of custody documentation, and timely delivery of test results. The government will evaluate quotations based on technical capability, past performance, and price, with technical factors weighted more heavily than price. Quotations are due by 5:00 PM EST on September 12, 2025, and interested vendors must be registered in SAM.gov with a unique entity identifier and self-certified under the appropriate NAICS code.

This solicitation is designated as a small business set-aside with a size standard of $19 million under NAICS 541380. The contract structure includes a 12-month base period from October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2026, followed by four optional 12-month extension years, potentially extending performance through September 30, 2030. The firm-fixed-price agreement encompasses multiple contract line items covering various sampling and testing services, including specialized testing requirements during the base year and option year 3 for primary and secondary inorganics, volatile organic compounds, haloacetic acids, and radiological analyses. Performance will take place at Everglades National Park, with NPS operators collecting samples from multiple locations across the park while the contractor handles transportation, analysis, and reporting. The government reserves the right to increase funding for emergency testing scenarios such as water main breaks, natural disasters, or public health concerns requiring expedited analysis.
