Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) Water Testing Har

Solicitation 140L0626Q0013 is a request for a single-award, firm-fixed-price Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to provide rapid response monitoring and analysis of harmful algal blooms (HAB) for the Bureau of Land Management and other Department of the Interior agencies across the western United States. The contractor is responsible for providing sample bottles and labeling for live grab samples, which are shipped overnight on ice. Required services include toxin screening via ELISA (EPA 546) and confirmatory LC-MS/MS toxin analysis (EPA Methods 544/545) for three target toxins when specific thresholds are met. A critical performance requirement is the delivery of a rapid response report containing analysis and toxin results within 48 hours of sample collection. The BPA has an initial period of performance from October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027, with four subsequent option years. The total estimated maximum ordering value over five years is 225,000 dollars, with individual call orders capped at 2,500 dollars each. Award is based on a best-value determination where technical capability and past performance are significantly more important than price. Evaluation focuses on the quoter's understanding of the scope of work, their ability to mitigate challenges, and a review of relevant performance records from the previous five years. Invoicing must be processed electronically through the Treasury's Invoice Processing Platform System.
