No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this announcement. The Government contemplates awarding this requirement as a small-business set-aside.

The SOW requires the analysis of Chlorinated Dibenzo-Dioxins and Clorinated Furans (CDDs/CFs) and Chlorinated/PolyChlorinated Biphenyl Congeners (CBs) by Gas Chromatography/High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (GC/HRMS). The SOW is supplemented by Exhibits A through H: Exhibit A details general information; B details specific data delivery requirements and formats; C-CDD lists required reporting levels for the dioxins and furans; C-CB lists required reporting levels for the Chlorinated Biphenyl Congeners; D-CDD details the analytical ethodology required to perform the dioxin/furan analysis; D-CB details the analytical methodology required to perform the Chlorinated Biphenyl Congeners analysis; E and F detail specific Quality Assurance requirements; G is a glossary; and H details electronic delivery requirements. The contractor should have in place specific Standard Operation Procedures and a Quality Assurance Plan containing the requirements listed in SOW supplemental Exhibits E and F within 60 days following any contract award. A contractor's facility may be subject to audits performed by the Agency at any time after award of this contract to ensure the requirements of Exhibits E and F have been met, as well as subject to audits by the Agency to ensure adequate performance of the contract is being met.
