- Description
- The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Region 7, Alaska, intends to award a sole source, firm-fixed price contract to Test America Laboratories, Inc. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service requires Test America to process contaminant analyses on eggshells and carcasses. Test America, Inc. was awarded a competitive contract in FY2011 to analyze samples from 2011, including passing of significant and detailed technological requirements. There is inter-laboratory variation in results of any analytical chemistry, based on the individual laboratory's protocols and procedures. It is standard to utilize the same laboratory for the duration of a project. If we do not use Test America to analyze the second set of samples, we will likely be unable to compare the samples between years, thus destroying our experimental design For purposes of laboratory and project continuity, including using the same methods, procedures, and protocols and meeting quality assurance and quality control parameters, we require that Test America analyze samples collected in 2012 and 2013. Work description: conduct analysis of strontium-89, strontium-90, gross alpha, and gamma profile (including Cs-137, Co-60, K-40) analyses in biota, including eggshells and carcasses, under established technical criteria (including minimum detection concentrations). This notice is not a request for competitive proposals and the Government does not intend to accept proposals received.
