USACE -SAV FY 2026 Geotechnical Laboratory Testing

This solicitation, issued as a combined synopsis and Request for Quote (RFQ) under solicitation number W912HN26QA018, seeks commercial geotechnical laboratory testing services for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Savannah District, under a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) formatted as a firm-fixed-price contract with a one-year base period and four option years, totaling a five-year ordering period. The contract supports the Geotechnical and HTRW Branch by providing standardized testing of soil, rock, and aggregate materials across all USACE mission areas within the contiguous United States, requiring strict adherence to ASTM standards including ASTM D422, ASTM D6913, ASTM D1140, and ASTM D4318, with explicit clarification that ASTM D2435 testing must follow Method A, not Method B. Offerors must hold current MTC validation from the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center and submit two volumes: Volume I detailing technical capabilities against the Statement of Work and Testing Requirements List, and Volume II containing complete pricing per the prescribed schedule. The evaluation process prioritizes lowest, fair, and reasonable price, with technical acceptability assessed only for the lowest-priced submissions, and failure to address all eight required technical questions renders an offer unresponsive. Proposals must be submitted electronically by July 13, 2026, to designated points of contact without hyperlinks or classified information, using specified formatting and naming conventions. Offerors are required to maintain active SAM registration, provide accurate business size and socioeconomic certifications, and incorporate applicable FAR and DFARS clauses, including provisions for cybersecurity, whistleblower protections, subcontractor reporting, and prohibitions on procurement from sanctioned regions. The contract includes comprehensive quality assurance measures, such as random sample splitting, facility inspections, and report reviews, with acceptance occurring at the Savannah, Georgia delivery point. Invoicing follows the Prompt Payment Act and requires submission of ENG 93 forms and a Final Release of Claims. The estimated value is $350,000, with no ceiling price as per BPA guidelines, and payment is processed through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Finance Center. No security clearances are required, and all laboratory services must be performed using contractor-provided personnel, equipment, and resources, with subcontractors also subject to MTC validation and contractual obligations.
