Labs - PCB Analysis

The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) is seeking to procure a vendor to perform Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) analysis on drinking water samples using EPA method 505. The selected vendor must be accredited by the Illinois Environmental Lab Accreditation Program (IL ELAP) for the required method and analyte. The vendor will be responsible for shipping sample kits, analyzing the samples, reporting the results electronically to the Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS) and providing copies to IEPA, and reanalyzing samples at no additional cost if there is a lab error. Quotes must be submitted electronically through BidBuy or by email no later than January 13, 2021. The contract term is through June 30, 2022. Pricing must be submitted as an all-inclusive price per sample analysis, and the State is not obligated to award a contract, but will make an award to the responsive and responsible vendor with the lowest price. Subcontractors are allowed but must comply with the contract requirements.

The RFQ does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The RFQ also does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it provide any information on existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFQ does not include any listed budget ranges, but indicates that the contract is contingent on the availability of appropriated funds.
