Description
The U.S. Army is issuing an RFI to identify qualified laboratories capable of validating Individual Water Treatment Devices (IWTD) against NSF protocols P248.01 (microbiological) and P248.02 (chemical) for military field use. The effort seeks ISO‑17025‑accredited labs that can develop product‑specific test plans, conduct 4.5‑day laboratory evaluations, and provide complete raw data and reports. Responses must be submitted electronically by 12 Nov 2026, and the information gathered will inform a future solicitation for validation services.
• Required capabilities: ISO 17025 accreditation, ability to test against NSF P248.01/02, and capacity to produce full data packages.
• Deliverables: Statement of certification, test plan, timeline (assuming award Nov/Dec 2026), experience summary, technical literature, company background, CAGE code, NAICS code, and GSA schedule number if applicable.
• Submission: Email responses to listed POCs with subject line “Response to IWTD Laboratory Testing RFI, [Vendor’s Business Name]”. No cost reimbursement from the government.
