Laboratory Testing

The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) is seeking a vendor to provide sample analysis services for a variety of environmental samples, including organic, inorganic, and biological analyses. This contract is intended to be utilized on an as-needed basis when the IEPA's laboratory is unable to perform the necessary sample analysis. The vendor must use USEPA-approved test methods and provide data deliverables to the IEPA within specified turnaround times. The contract will have an initial term of five years, with the possibility of extension up to a total term of ten years. Pricing will be based on a list of core testing items as well as a percentage discount on the vendor's catalog of additional tests. The IEPA may designate a primary, secondary, and tertiary vendor, with work being offered first to the primary vendor.

The procurement opportunity is open to all vendors, but the IEPA strongly encourages the utilization of accredited Business Enterprise Program (BEP) and Veteran Business Program (VBP) vendors. Small Business and Veteran-Owned Small Business set-asides may apply. The total value of the contract is estimated, and economic price adjustments will be allowed after the first year. The incumbent vendor, if any, is not specified in the provided documentation.
