RFQ No. N66001-26-Q-6020 Water Testing Services

Background
The Government is seeking to acquire water testing services as part of the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) project #ER24-8303. This project focuses on the verification of sorbent performance for Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)-impacted groundwater. This initiative is critical due to the financial liabilities associated with PFAS contamination at various DoD installations, primarily stemming from the use of aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) in firefighting training. The project aims to evaluate novel sorbents developed by the DoD through a series of demonstrations.

Work Details
The contractor will provide analytical chemistry services to verify exposures in PFAS-impacted groundwater before and after treatment. The analyses must be conducted by a Department of Defense (DoD) Environmental Lab Accreditation Program (ELAP) certified lab using EPA Method 1633. Additional measurements will include total organic carbon using SM 5310C, total dissolved solids via EPA 160.1, and anions (Br-, Cl-, F-, NO3-, NO2-, PO4-, SO4-) using EPA 300.1. The contractor is responsible for providing appropriate sampling containers and performing the required analyses. Samples will be provided incrementally in groups of approximately 20 every two weeks over a 30 to 60-day period.

Period of Performance
Base Period: 5 January 2026 to 30 June 2026; Option Period: 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027.
