RFP or client scope
Testing tables, bid schedules, client requirements, sampling locations and deliverable dates.
Environmental + engineering consultants
Win the project. Send us the lab scope.
516Labs turns RFPs, sampling plans, permits and specifications into structured laboratory requirements, qualified provider RFQs and real testing budgets that can move from proposal to execution.
What to send
Use the documents you already have.
The scope does not need to be perfect. Missing methods, matrices, counts, detection limits, EDD formats or turnaround requirements are surfaced for confirmation instead of silently assumed.
Sampling plan or permit
Methods, analytes, matrices, field parameters, preservation, custody and reporting obligations.
Construction specification
Material tests, frequencies, field visits, licensed-provider requirements and project milestones.
Consultant output
A testing budget backed by executable options.
516Labs does not fabricate market pricing when no qualified quote exists. Budgets are built from provider responses tied to the exact project scope.
Structure the requirement
Convert project language into methods, matrices, analytes, counts, locations, intended use and deadlines.
Qualify laboratory locations
Check exact scope, jurisdiction, accreditation, receiving, holding-time, logistics and commercial readiness.
Obtain and normalize quotes
Separate analysis, setup, logistics, rush, EDD, minimum and other mandatory charges.
Use the budget in your proposal
Carry a defensible laboratory allowance without building an internal lab-sourcing department.
Convert award into execution
When the consultant wins, the accepted quote can move into sampling, custody, testing, status and report delivery.
The consultant advantage
Laboratory sourcing should help you win revenue.
One relationship can support many projects, end clients, states and testing categories while preserving the identity of the performing laboratory and the consultant’s control of the client relationship.
