Laboratory Testing and Compliance Verification

The City of Raleigh seeks a qualified third-party accredited laboratory to perform testing and compliance verification for water treatment materials against NSF/ANSI 61 and AWWA B100 standards, ensuring that materials intended for use in public water systems meet stringent health and safety requirements. This subcontract requires accurate, accredited testing protocols to validate that components such as filters, pipes, linings, and other contact materials do not leach harmful substances into drinking water, with results used to support regulatory approval and public health protection. The work must be conducted by an entity with current accreditation recognized by relevant authorities, possessing the technical capability and quality systems to reliably deliver compliant test reports. The solicitation was posted on June 30, 2026, with a response deadline of July 29, 2026, and is classified under NAICS code 541380 for other scientific and technical consulting services. The performance location is not specified beyond the agency’s jurisdiction in North Carolina, and the contract falls under the category of a subcontract without a set-aside designation. All testing must align with the latest versions of the referenced standards and deliver documentation that satisfies the City’s procurement and regulatory compliance needs. Bidders are expected to demonstrate experience with water treatment material certification and the capacity to provide timely, audit-ready results without reliance on the city’s internal resources.
