Topsoil Quality Testing and Certification Services

The National Cemetery Administration under the Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking a subcontractor to perform third-party laboratory testing and certification of topsoil batches to ensure compliance with specified organic matter content, pH levels, and contaminant thresholds. This requirement is critical for maintaining landscape integrity and environmental safety at veteran burial sites, where soil quality directly impacts the long-term sustainability of memorial grounds. Testing must be conducted in accordance with established protocols to validate that each batch meets rigorous standards prior to use in cemetery landscaping and rehabilitation projects. The opportunity is posted as a subcontract under NAICS code 541380, which classifies it as scientific and technical consulting services, and is open for responses until July 31, 2026. Bidders must demonstrate proven capability in environmental laboratory analysis, familiarity with soil composition benchmarks, and experience providing certified testing reports acceptable to federal agencies. While no set-aside provisions or specific geographic restrictions are noted, the performance location is tied to National Cemetery Administration sites nationwide, requiring scalable and reliable service delivery across multiple locations. Proposals must include detailed methodologies, accreditation credentials, and clear timelines for sample processing and certification delivery.
