SCOPE: The Department of Veterans Affairs has a requirement for legionella sample collection, analysis, and results management for government-owned buildings in which patients, residents, or visitors stay overnight located primarily in Cincinnati, Chillicothe, Columbus, Cleveland and Dayton.

Any such additions and/or deletions will be completed by bilateral modification.

The contract will be awarded as a five-year ordering period, Indefinite Delivery – Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract.

The Contractor shall perform sampling and analysis following best practices to meet the requirements set forth in VHA Directive 1061, Prevention of Healthcare-Associated Legionella Disease and Scald Injury from Potable water Distribution Systems.
