The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) is seeking a vendor to provide radiological drinking water and other testing analyses of public water supplies that participate in the Community Water Supply Testing Program. The requested services include Radiological Drinking Water Testing, Disinfection By-Product Testing, PCB Analysis, and LT2 Analysis for Cryptosporidium, Coliform, and E. coli.

The State reserves the right to terminate the contract for cause or convenience, and the contract is contingent upon availability of appropriated funds.

The state and local contract opportunity is open to all qualified vendors, and the state does not appear to have any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The state may conduct background checks on the vendor's personnel, and pricing shall be submitted in the format specified, with the total contract payments not to exceed an unspecified maximum amount. The incumbent vendor or current contractor is not identified, and the existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration is also not specified.
