About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Louisville District is seeking analytical laboratory services for water quality testing, specifically for chemical and biological parameter analysis. The contract will require a laboratory capable of processing water samples including tests for total, dissolved, and suspended solids, nitrogen and phosphorus compounds, organic carbon, metals, chlorophyll, E. coli, and taxonomic identification of aquatic organisms. Contractors must be able to pick up samples within 24 hours' notice in the Louisville District area, with an estimated annual sample volume of approximately 150 water chemistry samples, 50 phytoplankton samples, and 30 benthic macroinvertebrate samples. The market survey is specifically targeting small businesses, including those certified as HUBZone, 8(a), Woman-Owned Small Business, or Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Business. Interested firms must respond by January 31, 2025 at 10:00 AM Eastern Time, providing details about their small business status, UEI/CAGE codes, past performance, and laboratory certifications.
The contract is not currently set aside for any specific small business designation but is conducting a market survey to determine potential set-aside eligibility. The contract duration is estimated at 1,736 calendar days, with a total projected value between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000, classified under NAICS code 541380 for Testing Laboratories and Services. The government will use the responses to this sources sought notice to make appropriate acquisition decisions and determine whether sufficient small business interest exists to justify a set-aside designation. Potential contractors should note that this is a pre-solicitation notice and does not constitute a formal Request for Proposal, meaning interested firms will need to separately respond to future solicitation announcements. All responses should be emailed to Amber Drones at amber.l.drones@usace.army.mil, with response packages limited to 10 pages.

A market survey is being conducted to determine if there are a reasonable number of interested small business concerns to set this future project aside for them. If your firm is a Small Business, certified HUBZone, 8A, Woman-Owned Small Business or Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Business and you are interested in this project please respond appropriately.
- Project Description: Analytical laboratory services for various chemical and biological parameters in water samples. Parameters to be analyzed include: total, dissolved, and suspend solids; common forms of nitrogen and phosphorus; organic carbon; hardness; alkalinity; chloride; sulfate; total and dissolved metals commonly analyzed with EPA 200 and 300 series test methods; chlorophyll a, b, and c and pheophytin a; E. coli; acidity; and taxonomic identification and enumeration of phytoplankton, zooplankton, and benthic macroinvertebrates samples. Total number of samples will vary per year, but an approximate number of samples per year may be around 150 samples for many of the water chemistry parameters, around 50 samples for phytoplankton, and around 30 samples for benthic macroinvertebrates.
The Contractor lab would be required to pickup samples within the Louisville District Area of Responsibility (figure below) within a 24-hours notice. It is expected most sample pickups would be from the Louisville downtown area.
Contract duration is estimated at 1,736 calendar days. The estimated cost range is between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000 (FAR 36.204 & DFARS 236.204). NAICS code is 541380.
