The U.S. International Boundary and Water Commission (USIBWC) is issuing solicitation FY26R5201028 as a Request for Quote (RFQ) for testing laboratory and related services (NAICS 541380). This is a 100 % small‑business set‑aside and will be awarded on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) basis. Offerors must submit a single, email‑only quote (no fax) by 3:00 PM Mountain Time on 15 May 2026, referencing the solicitation number and including an active UEI, a complete price sheet (inclusive of all taxes), and a detailed technical approach narrative that covers the plan of action, equipment, key personnel, schedule, and a breakdown of costs for the base requirement and any options (option pricing must be balanced). Past performance must be demonstrated with at least three recent, similar‑project references (name, company, contact information, and brief description). All work must be performed by U.S.–made or designated‑country end products unless a waiver is granted, and the invoice for this contract must be separate from any other work.

Offerors must comply with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations, maintain standard business hours (7:00 AM–5:30 PM Central, Mon‑Fri, excluding holidays), and adhere to the listed FAR clauses (e.g., 52.204‑14/15, 52.209‑6, 52.219‑6). The Government reserves the right to negotiate price and may award without discussion, but will consider the total price of options when determining award eligibility.
