The Department of Veterans Affairs is seeking a Service‑Disabled Veteran‑Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) to provide comprehensive water‑testing services for VA health‑care facilities throughout Ohio. The work is performed under an Indefinite‑Delivery‑Indefinite‑Quantity (IDIQ) Firm‑Fixed‑Price contract and includes routine and ad‑hoc sampling, laboratory analysis, chain‑of‑custody documentation, and electronic reporting for a variety of water systems (potable, cooling‑tower, sterile‑processing, dental waterlines, etc.). The contractor must use CDC ELITE‑certified, ISO 11731‑accredited laboratories for Legionella culture, meet VHA Directive 1061, 1116, and AAMI ST108 requirements, and handle all logistics from sample collection through result delivery.
• Perform weekly/quarterly sampling of hot and cold water outlets at VA hospitals, CBOCs, and related overnight‑stay buildings across five Ohio locations.
• Conduct Legionella culture, heterotrophic plate counts, chemical analyses (pH, temperature, residual biocide, hardness, etc.), and specialized testing for sterile‑processing systems and dental waterlines.
• Provide all‑inclusive per‑test pricing, maintain chain‑of‑custody records, and submit results electronically within the stipulated turnaround times (e.g., 24 hr preliminary notice for positive Legionella, 2 weeks final report).
