ANALYTICAL LAB SERVICE

The North Texas Municipal Water District is soliciting sealed bids under solicitation number 26-012-B for comprehensive analytical laboratory services. The scope of work involves the testing of groundwater, surface water, wastewater, soil, and both hazardous and non-hazardous waste to support regulatory compliance and water quality monitoring. Required analyses cover a wide array of contaminants, including PFAS, metals, volatile organic compounds, PCBs, dioxins, and pesticides, utilizing specific EPA, SM, ASTM, and Texas state methods. Performance will take place in Texas, with the contractor responsible for delivering validated results and providing additional services such as rush sample processing and court testimony. Bids were due by December 11, 2025, with submissions managed via the Bonfire portal or physical delivery. The procurement process emphasizes technical adherence to established analytical standards, and while a formal evaluation methodology is not explicitly stated, the exclusion of contingency items from the low-bidder determination suggests a price-driven award process. Initial bid tabulations indicate participation from firms such as Eurofins Environment Testing South Central and Pace Analytical Services, with bid totals ranging from approximately 378,925.00 to 466,940.00.
