The requirement is for the establishment of single Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA) for the testing of metal coupons to aid the QA process of the components with which these coupons are associated.

The Contractor’s laboratory facility must be validated by the USACE Materials Testing Center (MTC) along with maintain ISO/IEC 17025 certification and remain validated throughout the life of this agreement.

Project Background The Contractor shall receive, test mechanical and/or chemical characteristics, and submit reports of coupon materials to aid the QA process of the associated components supplied to the Government via other ongoing contract efforts.

The coupons will be shipped directly to the Contractor, many of which will likely come from international locations.

The Contractor will not be responsible for shipping or duty costs to receive coupons.

The coupon materials that may be tested include but may not be limited to ASTM A743 Grade CA6NM and Grade CF3, ASTM A27 Grade 70-40, ASTM A148 Grade 80-40, ASTM A216 Grade WCC, and ASTM A516 Grade 60.

The range of tests completed for a given coupon will depend on the material and component with which it is associated.

There may be provisions for optional storage of coupons, both tested and untested.

Disposal of excess coupons may be considered at no additional cost to the Government.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
