BACKGROUND The anticipated contract is for analytical services support for the Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) and Yakima Training Center (YTC). In executing environmental sampling and monitoring under requirements of Clean Water Act (CWA) and Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) and permits issued to the installation, JBLM and YTC have a need for an analytical laboratory to provide timely chemical analysis of the following generic categories of matrices: Soil/Sludge Compost Wastewater Drinking Water Biosolids The objective of this contract is to obtain chemical data that is technically valid, of known quality, and legally defensible, that will meet or exceed the required project-specific Data Quality Objectives (DQOs). The Contractor is expected to provide professional scientific and technical services to perform chemical analysis testing for the matrices specified in Section 1. In meeting this expectation, the Contractor shall perform and assume all responsibility for the precision, accuracy, completeness, comparability and sensitivity of the analysis not attributable to matrix effects or lack of sufficient sample volume. Due to sample short hold times for some analysis, the Contractor must utilize laboratories within 50 miles of JBLM Main Gate and Yakima Training Center to allow for Government employees to drop off samples within the analytical hold time.

The draft PWS is being provided for informational purposes only in order to allow interested RFI responders to obtain a general idea of the scope and complexity of the proposed requirement, and is therefore subject to change before any final solicitation issuance.
