NC26-85 Laboratory Services for the Identification and Enumeration of Cyanobacteria

This tender, reference NC26-85, seeks laboratory services for the identification and enumeration of cyanobacteria. The procurement is being managed by the Division of Purchasing in the United States. Cyanobacteria, often referred to as blue-green algae, are microscopic organisms that can proliferate rapidly in aquatic environments, sometimes producing toxins harmful to humans, animals, and the ecosystem. Consequently, accurate identification and quantification are critical for environmental monitoring, public health protection, and water resource management. Prospective bidders are expected to possess advanced laboratory facilities, validated analytical methodologies, and experienced personnel capable of performing precise taxonomic identification and cell enumeration. Typical requirements for such services include adherence to strict quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) protocols, provision of detailed reports with findings, turnaround time guarantees, and compliance with relevant environmental regulations and standards. The closing date for submissions is July 07, 2026. This opportunity is vital for authorities responsible for monitoring and managing water quality across various water bodies.
