    Description

    The Department of Defense, through the Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Pacific, is soliciting quotes for water testing services under RFQ No. N66001-26-Q-6020. The procurement aims to acquire analytical chemistry services to verify the performance of sorbents in treating groundwater impacted by Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), requiring a certified laboratory to conduct comprehensive analyses as outlined in the attached Statement of Work. This project is critical for environmental remediation efforts and involves the analysis of all 40 PFAS compounds, with specific reporting requirements and a two-year performance period. Interested vendors must submit their quotes by December 12, 2025, and direct any inquiries to Joshua Joiner at joshua.j.joiner.civ@us.navy.mil.

    This Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the requirements for analytical chemistry services to verify sorbent performance in treating Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)-impacted groundwater. This two-year project, funded by the ESTCP, requires a DoD Environmental Lab Accreditation Program (ELAP) certified lab to perform analyses using EPA 1633 for PFAS, along with SM 5310C for total organic carbon, EPA 160.1 for total dissolved solids, and EPA 300.1 for anions. The contractor must provide sampling containers and analyze approximately 20 samples incrementally every two weeks over a 30-60 day period. The SOW details specific sample quantities for the base and option year, reporting requirements including summary reports and electronic data deliverables within five weeks of sample delivery, and stringent qualification requirements for the contractor's laboratory, emphasizing DoD certification and experience in environmental chemistry. The place of performance is the contractor's facility, and the project is unclassified.
    This Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the requirements for analytical chemistry services to verify sorbent performance in treating Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)-impacted groundwater. The project, part of the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP), spans two years with an option for an additional year. The contractor will perform analyses using EPA 1633, SM 5310C, EPA 160.1, and EPA 300.1 methods, requiring DoD ELAP certification. Services include providing sampling containers, performing chemical analysis on approximately 108 PFAS water samples, 12 Total Organic Carbon samples, 12 Total Dissolved Solids samples, and 12 Anion samples per period. The contractor must meet strict QA/QC requirements, provide electronic summary reports and data deliverables within five weeks of sample delivery, and have a plan for timely analyses in case of equipment failure. The contractor laboratory must be DoD-certified for PFAS analyses (Method 1633A) and accredited for all other methods, with proven experience in environmental chemistry and chain-of-custody procedures.
    This government file outlines regulations regarding the use and provision of covered telecommunications and video surveillance equipment and services in federal contracts, primarily driven by Section 889 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019. It prohibits executive agencies from procuring or using systems that contain covered telecommunications equipment as a substantial or essential component or critical technology. Offerors must represent whether they provide or use such equipment/services and, if so, provide detailed disclosures including the entity, description, and proposed use of the equipment/services. The document also references similar provisions for covered defense telecommunications equipment and services, emphasizing the need for offerors to check the System for Award Management (SAM) for excluded parties.
    RFQ No. N66001-26-Q-6020 is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial products and services, issued on December 3, 2025. The government seeks services as per the Statement of Work (Attachment 1), focusing on a Firm-Fixed-Price contract. The NAICS code is 541380 for Testing Laboratories, with a $19.0 million small business size standard, under full and open competition. The acquisition includes a base period (January 5, 2026, to June 30, 2026) and an option period (July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027), with performance at the contractor’s facility. Quotes must address general information, technical acceptability, sustainable acquisition details, pricing (including FOB Destination shipping), commercial warranty, and specific FAR/DFARS representations. Evaluation factors are technical acceptability, price, and past performance. Questions are due by December 10, 2025, at 12:30 PM PT, and quotes by December 12, 2025, at 2:00 PM PT, submitted via the PIEE website. The point of contact is Joshua Joiner.
    This document addresses questions and answers related to a government Request for Quotation (RFQ), clarifying analytical methods, compound specifics, and logistical details. Key clarifications include the acceptance of EPA 300.0 and SM 2540C for anion and TDS analysis, respectively, and SM 5310B for TOC. Critically, the RFQ requires analysis for all 40 PFAS compounds, not a subset. The Navy requests an Excel EDD format and will cover return shipment costs for samples. Expected concentrations for non-treated samples are high, ranging from approximately 20,000 ng/L to 800,000 ng/L total PFAS, anticipating part-per-billion levels.
