The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is issuing a special notice for the reprocurement of the Contract Laboratory Program’s (CLP) Inorganic and Organic analytical services. The Statement of Work (SOW) has been refined and updated based on industry feedback, and it emphasizes results by enabling commercial environmental laboratories to use validated methods and deliver analytical services of known and documented quality to the Superfund Program. The SOW provides a contractual framework for laboratories to perform analytical services, including the use of approved EPA methods, simplified electronic reporting options, and longer delivery turnaround times. • The purpose of this analytical service is to provide analytical data for use by the EPA in support of investigation and clean-up activities under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) and the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA). • The SOW applies EPA Contract Laboratory Program (CLP) analytical methods for isolation, detection, and quantitative measurement of target analytes in aqueous/water, soil/sediment, and waste matrices. • The analytical service contract provides the methods to be used and the specific contractual requirements by which the EPA will evaluate the data. • The official Statement of Work (SOW) will be posted on the EPA CLP website, and the final version will be attached to the solicitation upon issuance.
