## Description

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Research and Development Center (ERDC), Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory (GSL) has a regular, recurring need for Onsite Laboratory Assessments. To support these needs, the Government intends to award a Master Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with a five year ordering period to AASHTO. (Cage 3L6S7), on a sole source basis. AASHTO products are critical to research being conducted at the ERDC.

The MTC test methods are used daily and support ongoing work in GSL, EL, CHL, CERL and CRREL for direct, Section 219, and reimbursable projects. These test methods need to be certified to ensure quality requirements are met to support ongoing ERDC research. The CMB currently follows AASHTO and ASTM specifications for testing and revalidation by these organizations is required at regular intervals.

This validation inspection will require our engineers, scientists, and technicians demonstrate proficiency, provide calibration documentation of equipment, and provide an in-house Quality Assurance manual for review. The award will be issued in accordance with FAR 13.106(b)(l)(i). The applicable North American Industrial Classification System Code (NAICS) code is 541350 (Building Inspection Services) with a size standard of $11.5 million.
