TNI and ISO Accreditation for DCLS

The Department of General Services is seeking an experienced firm to provide accreditation services for the Department of Consolidated Laboratory Services (DCLS). The work is divided into two parts: Part One involves achieving accreditation under the National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (NELAP) Institute (TNI); Part Two involves ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation together with compliance to AOAC International guidelines for microbiological and chemical analysis of food, supplements, pharmaceuticals, and cannabis. Offerors may bid for either part or both. • Provide all labor, supervision, equipment, and materials needed to assess and achieve the specified accreditations. • Deliver documentation, audit support, and training to meet TNI and ISO/AOAC requirements. • Include travel expenses for on‑site activities at the DCLS laboratory in Richmond, VA. • Offer flexibility to qualify for only one accreditation track or both, depending on the vendor’s expertise. • Contract period extends until successful accreditation is awarded and any post‑award verification tasks are completed.
