Laboratory Capabilities Clause Samples
The Laboratory Capabilities clause defines the specific technical skills, equipment, and resources that a laboratory must possess to fulfill its contractual obligations. It typically outlines the minimum standards for personnel qualifications, available instrumentation, and testing methodologies required for the work. By clearly specifying these requirements, the clause ensures that the laboratory is adequately equipped to perform the necessary analyses or services, thereby reducing the risk of substandard results and ensuring project quality.
Laboratory Capabilities. 2.11.1 Laboratories must demonstrate compliance with the DoD Quality Systems Manual (DoD QSM) (latest version) through accreditation by the DoD Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (DoD ELAP) for all project-required parameters. A list of laboratories accredited under DoD ELAP can be found at the DoD ELAP Denix web site at ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇.▇▇▇/edqw/Accreditation/AccreditedLabs.cfm. The laboratory used shall have experience handling media potentially contaminated with munitions constituents and shall be identified early in the project planning (at the proposal stage). For additional details on laboratory requirements, see DID HNC-005.02.
2.11.2 Any laboratory performing chemical analysis must provide its DoD ELAP accreditation certificate and supporting documentation to the applicable Military Munitions Design Center (MM DC) in order to be approved by that MM DC. If the laboratory fails to meet project-specific requirements, the KO or Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) may require the Contractor to stop using this laboratory and obtain analytical services from another qualified laboratory that can meet project-specific requirements. The contract laboratory may not subcontract analytical services to another laboratory without the approval of the Contracting Officer. The subcontracted laboratory must meet all requirements for the contract laboratory.
Laboratory Capabilities. Even though your laboratory may have other capabilities, include only the standards from the list in the preceding page, and which your laboratory is currently staffed and equipped to perform testing of. Do not include testing that must be subcontracted to others. Please note any section, or sections, of the standard that the laboratory does not have the staff or equipment to complete the testing.
Laboratory Capabilities. The information in the “Laboratory Capabilities” is intended to represent the current testing capabilities of the laboratory. We define current capabilities as testing that:
Laboratory Capabilities. This is an option. On-site laboratory capabilities are under consideration. This could include provide basic laboratory capability to assess and diagnose general medical conditions, or common emergency conditions. Colorimetric testing machines, multi-testing machines, stick tests or other means of evaluating common urinalysis, blood counts, liver enzymes, cardiac indicator enzymes, microbial speciation and blood chemistries shall be provided. Medical Services provider would be notified of the extent and capability of the laboratory services which will be maintained and executed on Site and which services will be out-sourced to local laboratories or health care facilities.
