This requirement will be for a Requirements Indefinite Delivery. The Period of Performance for this contract will be a base year with four options years. This is a 100% Small Business Set Aside.

A notice if intent to Sole Source W81XWH-11-T-0653 was published on FedBizOpps.gov September 14, 2011 for a fifteen day period. No responses were received. Scheduled proficiency tests kits shipped at specified dates (vendor dependent) to include testing materials and reagent kits. Collaborative Testing Services (CTS) is an American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors/Laboratory Accreditation Board (ASCLD/LAB)-approved proficiency test provider. These tests will be used to meet accreditation criteria which require that scientists are tested to the full extent of their casework activities, at least twice each year (with specific intervals between). The CTS tests being ordered allow for autosomal STR, YSTR, and mtDNA testing as performed by our casework scientists. The ordered tests are scheduled to allow us to spread the proficiency tests throughout the year as required for accreditation, as well as preventing casework delays that would occur if proficiency tests arrived all at one time. The Forensic Biology Series will contain two known bloodstains and two suspected dried body fluid stains. The DNA Sample Specific Series will contain two known bloodstains and two questioned stains that are pre-screened. Participants may report results for screening tests and STR/YSTR/mtDNA analyses.
