Description

TESTING LABORATORIES FOR CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL ANALYSES--SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS. This announcement is to solicit interest for the establishment of Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) with small businesses. The NAICS solicited is 541380  Testing La boratories. The small business size standard for NAICS 541380 is $11.0 million. The BPAs duration will be for a period of one (1) year and may be extended in one (1) year increments, not to exceed 5 years. The tests to be performed and the test methods to be used are as shown on Table 1 (Attachment A). The establishment of BPAs does not imply any agreement by the Government to place future contracts or orders with the BPA holders. The Government makes no representation as to the number of calls or act ual amount of work to be ordered. The establishment of BPAs does not justify purchasing from only one source. The Government intends to award multiple BPAs for this requirement. Price reasonableness will be determined by competing BPA calls among BPA ho lders. If, for a particular purchase greater than the micro-purchase threshold, there is an insufficient number of BPAs to ensure maximum practicable competition, the Contracting Officer shall solicit quotations from other sources and make the purchase as appropriate. Orders may be placed for USAERDC, Environmental Chemistry Branch, Vicksburg, MS. BPA holders will be selected based on successful past performance of same/similar services, and business experience. Responses to this announcement must inclu de past performance information and business experience to include contact names, addresses, phone numbers, contract numbers, as well as a description of the services provided. Past Performance Questionnaire  For all contacts identified, a Past Performa nce Questionnaire must be completed and submitted. Past Performance Questionnaire is available upon request by email. Point of contact is Cynthia Sims at Cynthia.L.Sims@mvk02.usace.army.mil. A solicitation will not be issued. Responses to this announ cement must be received not later than 28 November 2007, 4:00 p.m. central standard time, to be considered. All respondents must have an active registration at Central Contractor Registration www.ccr.gov. Responses shall be mailed to Cynthia Sims, USAED, ERDC Contracting Office, Vicksburg, 4155 Clay Street, Vicksburg, MS 39183-3435. Facsimile offers shall not be accepted.
