Description
The USGS is establishing a single‑award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to provide pre‑filled acid vials for its National Water Quality Laboratory. The BPA will cover three laboratory‑grade acid solutions—7.5‑7.7 N Ultrex nitric acid, 4.5 N trace‑metal sulfuric acid, and 6 N Omni‑Trace hydrochloric acid—each supplied in 4.5 mL polypropylene screw‑cap vials packaged in cases of 24. Vendors must meet strict analytical contamination limits, provide certificates of analysis, and support the USGS’s quality‑assurance testing program. The contract is firm‑fixed‑price, with a maximum ordering limit of $350,000 over a two‑year performance period, and requires delivery within 30 business days of order receipt.
• Supply three specified acid solutions pre‑filled in 4.5 mL PP vials (24 vials per case).
• Meet detailed metal‑contamination limits (e.g., Ag ≤ 1 µg/L, U ≤ 0.03 µg/L) and provide COAs for each lot.
• Deliver under FOB Destination terms to USGS NWQL in Denver, CO, within 30 business days of each order.
• Support USGS QA testing; replace any lot that fails QA within 30 working days at no cost.
