Analytical Services

Brookhaven Science Associates (BSA) is soliciting analytical services to support environmental monitoring, sampling, and waste characterization at the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) site in Upton, New York. The scope of work encompasses chemical, microbiological, and radiochemical analysis, divided into three distinct contract areas: a Limited Radiological Contract, a Limited Non-Radiological Contract, and a Full-Service Contract. To be considered technically acceptable, contractors must hold current New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) Environmental Laboratory Approval Program (ELAP) certifications and national NELAP certification. Additionally, chemical laboratories must participate in NIST-approved Water Pollution and Water Supply studies, while those performing radionuclide analyses must participate in the DOE Mixed Analyte Performance Evaluation Program (MAPEP). The contract will be awarded based on the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) criteria, with evaluation focusing on a fee schedule for various turnaround times (3, 7, 14, and 30 days). Performance requirements include maintaining an ISO 9001 certified quality system and adhering to strict data completeness and accuracy standards, such as the EPA's 90% data completeness criteria. Deliverables must be submitted as pipe-delimited ASCII text files via WinZip. The contract structure includes a base period and four option years, with payment terms of Net 10 days for small businesses and Net 30 days for large or foreign businesses. All shipments must comply with ASTM Standard D 3951 and include a Certificate of Conformance and detailed test reports.
