Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is a mandatory pricing template for the EXWC Shore 3 Laboratory Analysis - Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA). Bidders must use this template to submit their pricing for various laboratory analysis services.

• The template is organized into categories of laboratory tests, including Waste Characterization, TCLP/SPLP Group Parameters, Petroleum Hydrocarbons, Conventional/Wet Chemistry, Metals, Volatile Organic Parameters, Semivolatile Organic Compounds, Pesticide and Polychlorinated Biphenyl Parameters, and Herbicide Parameters.
• Each line item (ELIN) specifies a description of the test and the relevant EPA or other standard method.
• Columns are provided for bidders to input their Cost per Sample for Year 1 through Year 5.
• A section for Sample Turn-Around Time (TAT) is included, with factors for expedited service and a note on how to propose percentage increases for faster turnaround.

This pricing sheet is critical for bidders to accurately quote their services. It outlines the specific laboratory analyses required and provides the structure for submitting cost proposals for each year of the potential Blanket Purchase Agreement. Bidders must carefully review the listed ELINs and associated methods to ensure their pricing is comprehensive and competitive.

Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document, "Attachment JL-1 v. 13 January 2026," appears to be a set of Questions and Answers (Q&A) related to the "Laboratory Analytical Services Worldwide" RFQ N394026Q1002. It also includes "Historical Ordering Data (PWS Attachment A)" which provides estimated quantities for various laboratory analyses over a five-year period. The disclaimer explicitly states this data is for informational purposes only and not verified for historical validity or future requirements budgets.

• Q&A Section: Addresses bidder inquiries regarding historical quantities, state accreditations (specifically CA ELAP), PFAS testing capabilities, and the evaluation criteria weighting (Technical Acceptability, Past Performance, Price).
• Historical Ordering Data: A detailed list of laboratory analyses with estimated sample quantities for Year 1 through Year 5. This includes categories such as Waste Characterization, TCLP/SPLP, Petroleum Hydrocarbons, Conventional/Wet Chemistry, Metals, and others.
• Accreditation Requirements: Clarifies that while DoD ELAP accreditation is preferred for Environmental Restoration projects, specific state accreditations (like CA ELAP) may be sought on a case-by-case basis for applicable matrices and methods.
• Evaluation Factors: Emphasizes that Technical Acceptability is more important than Past Performance, and both are significantly more important than Price, unless non-price factors are equal.

This document is crucial for bidders as it provides:

• Clarity on the government's expectations regarding technical capabilities and evaluation criteria.
• Insight into the types and estimated volumes of laboratory analyses that may be required, aiding in pricing and resource planning.
• Information on accreditation requirements, helping bidders assess their eligibility and competitiveness.

Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is a mandatory pricing template for the EXWC Shore 3 Laboratory Analysis - Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA). Bidders are required to use this template to submit their pricing for various laboratory analysis services.

• The template is organized into categories (A-S) covering a wide range of analytical parameters including Waste Characterization, TCLP/SPLP Group Parameters, Petroleum Hydrocarbons, Conventional/Wet Chemistry, Metals, Volatile Organic Compounds, Semivolatile Organic Compounds, Dioxin/PCB, Pesticides/PCBs, Herbicides, Biological Parameters, Bioassay, Air Parameters, Radionuclide Parameters, Analytical Suites, and Perfluorinated Compounds.
• Each line item includes an Exhibit Line Item Number (ELIN), Description, Method, and Unit of Issue.
• Bidders are expected to provide the "IGE Cost per Sample" for Year 1 through Year 5 for each applicable ELIN.
• Specific instructions are provided regarding the exclusion of letters "I" and "O" for regulatory compliance.
• A section for Sample Turn-Around Time (S) is included, detailing factors for expedited services and their associated cost percentages.

This pricing schedule is critical for bidders to understand the specific laboratory analysis services required and to accurately prepare their cost proposals. Bidders must complete this template with their proposed pricing for each service to be considered responsive. The provided ELINs and descriptions outline the scope of analytical work expected under the BPA.

Statement of Work (SOW) / Performance Work Statement (PWS)

This Performance Work Statement (PWS) is for analytical services and associated sampling supplies for the Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center (EXWC). The services cover chemical analysis, toxicity characteristic testing, and air testing for various environmental matrices including soil, sediment, sludge, dredge slurry, groundwater, surface water, air, and soil gas. These services are primarily in support of Defense Environmental Restoration Programs (DERP), Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), and Clean Water Act (CWA) projects.

• The Contractor shall provide all necessary personnel, equipment, materials, tools, supervision, and quality control to produce technically valid and legally defensible environmental data that meets or exceeds specified analytical method criteria and Data Quality Objectives (DQOs).

• The Contractor shall assist NAVFAC EXWC by supplying UFP-QAPP Worksheets and developing/maintaining Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).

• Analytical services will be performed in accordance with specified protocols and methods, with accurate and complete data deliverables.

• The Contractor must maintain a laboratory quality system conforming to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and the DoD Quality Systems Manual (QSM).

• The Contractor shall provide environmental field sampling supplies as required.

• The Contractor must adhere to specific performance objectives for contract and personnel management, project planning and documentation, analytical services and reporting, quality systems and accreditations, and instrument and standards management.

• Performance standards and Acceptable Quality Levels (AQLs) are defined for timeliness (e.g., UFP-QAPP submissions, data report delivery) and quality (e.g., worksheet accuracy, deliverable acceptance, QC checks, accreditations).

• The Contractor must maintain required laboratory accreditations (DoD ELAP, NELAP, State) without lapse.

• The PWS covers analytical services and sampling supplies. Ordering may continue for five years, with annual renewals, under a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA).

• Performance will be at locations specified in individual calls issued under the BPA.

• Laboratories must possess current DoD ELAP accreditation for at least 50% of applicable fields of testing and may subcontract for other fields.

• NELAP accreditation and specific state accreditations (California, Utah, Nevada) are also required.

• The Contractor must implement a quality system conforming to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and the DoD QSM.

• Analytical methods must adhere to DoD QSM, EPA SW-846, or other specified methods.
