EXISTING CONTRACT INFORMATION: Laboratory Services for Coal Analysis are currently performed under contract FA8601-08-P-0045, which expires 30 November, 2010. The incumbent contractor is Wyoming Analytical Labratories, Inc. CAGE Code 302Q2. The estimated value of the current 3-year contract (including its base period and 2 option periods $40,000.00 The SIC and NAICS codes are 8734 and 541380, respectively. DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT: Below is a description of the issues that are believed to be of the greatest importance in the solicitation of Laboratory Services for Coal Analysis. a. Does the contract laboratory have the capabilities to perform coal analysis on a regular basis? This is of greatest importance due to the requirement to grind coal to a very small size. Most laboratories prefer not to purchase the necessary equipment to pulverize coal to a size acceptable to the American Standard Testing Methods (ASTM). Additionally they prefer not to provide a special room for handling the extremely dusty work. b. Does the laboratory have an internal Quality Assurance Program (QAP)? The date from the samples being analyzed is used to report emission levels under the base Air Pollution Permit. Providing quantitative as well as qualitative results is extremely important. Since EPA does not require any type of licensing or permitting for laboratory analysis relating to coal, it is the responsibility of the customer to ensure they are incorporating the necessary QAP protocols. c. Does the contract laboratory have the capabilities to use the ASTM procedures listed in the Performance Work Statement? There are several different methods for analysis that can be used for coal. It is very important that the contract lab is capable and use those methods listed in the solicitation. d. Does the contract laboratory have the capacity to handle the varying quantities of samples being submitted for analysis? Although the base only submits 4 to 6 samples a month it is important that they are able to analyze them immediately without waiting for other customer analysis. Due to the need to report our coal analysis to the EPA on a quarterly basis, we must make sure that sample results are obtained in a reasonable amount of time.
