Do we need a Good Laboratory Practice-certified commercial lab(s) for the chemical analyses? We believe the answer will be no.
The NOFO does not include a requirement regarding Good Laboratory Practice certification for laboratories. However, if selected, the awarded applicant will be required to submit quality assurance documentation, including a demonstration of competency for all aspects of the project that include environmental data. Please see page 7 of the NOFO for more information about quality assurance documentation.
