The sole source determination is based on NOAA’s requirement that BSA Environmental Services, Inc is the only vendor that analyzes this Microcystin Analysis. BSA Environmental Services, Inc, is the only known vendor with all of the standards to run this Microcystin Analysis. Other facilities do not have the resources nor the equipment to process this analysis. Outsourcing would not be practical as on-site oversight of the work is required, vs. just receiving reports. BSA Environmental Services, Inc is the only known source that is known to have the expertise and equipment, resources, and abilities to perform this work as outlined above. Based on past performance, the vendor was able to get reproducibility using 5 or 10 ppt standard and doing 7 replicates. This is critical to the ongoing collaboration support we receive from BSA Environmental Services, Inc, in addition to the program described above. Their program has been a key collaboration with us that has been developed over the last 15+ years. Vendor has confirmed they are the sole source for this requirement. **Period of Performance:** 10/01/2025 through 09/30/2026 This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals and no solicitation package is available.
