ACID VIALS

The U.S. Geological Survey’s National Water Quality Laboratory (NWQL) is establishing a single‑award, open‑market Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for pre‑filled acid vials used in Water Resource Discipline (WRD) sampling and testing. The BPA will run for two years (Sept 16 2026 – Sept 15 2028) with a total ordering ceiling of $350,000. Vendors must supply nitric, sulfuric, and hydrochloric acid solutions in 4.5 mL polypropylene vials, meeting strict purity and labeling requirements, and must provide safety data sheets and quality‑assurance documentation. Orders will be placed as firm‑fixed‑price BPA calls on an as‑needed basis; the government is not obligated to issue calls, and the contractor may decline them with 30‑day notice. All quotations must be submitted electronically by Sept 4 2026, and questions are due by Sept 2 2026. The award will be based on technical compliance and lowest price. • BPA term: 2 years, max $350k • Acid vials (nitric, sulfuric, HCl) in 4.5 mL PP vials • Quality‑control, SDS, labeling, contamination limits required • Firm‑fixed‑price BPA calls, FOB Destination to Denver, CO • Electronic quotation due 9/4/2026; questions due 9/2/2026 • Award based on technical acceptability + lowest price
