Quality Assurance and Contamination Testing Services

The contract calls for independent testing of acid vials to ensure they meet stringent ultra-low contamination standards for metals, nutrients, and organic carbon, with a focus on batch validation and stability verification to confirm consistent quality over time. The work requires specialized laboratory procedures and analytical methods capable of detecting trace levels of contaminants to support high-sensitivity scientific applications, likely in environmental or geochemical research. Testing must be performed in a controlled environment using validated protocols to guarantee reproducibility and compliance with industry benchmarks for contamination control. The procurement is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541380, indicating it falls under other scientific and technical consulting services, and was posted by the Office of Acquisition and Grants in Denver under the Department of the Interior. Bids must be submitted by July 9, 2026, at 8:30 p.m. ET, with no set-aside designation specified. The place of performance and point of contact details are not provided, suggesting the contractor may perform tests remotely or at a facility of their choosing, subject to the client’s validation requirements and reporting expectations.
