Experience
USEPA Contract Laboratory Program (CLP)
For more than 25 years, our analytical expertise in CLP routine analytical services
(RAS) has allowed CompuChem to handle multiple organic and inorganic sample analysis
bid lots for the U.S. EPA and to offer CLP-style services to other government and
commercial clients.
CompuChem has chosen to be an active participant in the EPA CLP because the program
involves the leading edge in environmental analytical testing methodologies. While
the CLP supports CERCLA activities, the methods used in the program are state-of-the-art.
The quality oversight program associated with the CLP enhances all analytical testing
used by CompuChem. Quarterly blind performance evaluation (PE) samples (for both
the organic and inorganic programs) substantiate analytical performance. For organic
analyses, the Contract Laboratory Program is the only one having a GC/MS tape-auditing
program that confirms compliance. Also, on a yearly basis, participating laboratories
are subjected to an on-site audit, conducted by technical and evidentiary personnel
to verify those technical and quality systems are in place. Finally, the CLP has
a contract compliance screening (CCS) component, which assesses the hardcopy and
electronic deliverables, to ensure technical and deliverable requirements have been
met. Each sample reported to the EPA undergoes strict CCS.
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
CompuChem has been affiliated with the US Army Corps of Engineers since the inception
of the HTRW-CX program. Over the past three (3) years CompuChem has performed a
significant amount of work for the Corps of Engineers on several project sites,
a listing of which is provided below.

Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center (NFESC)
CompuChem is affiliated with the U.S. Navy's environmental, clean-up program and
was originally certified at the inception of the Naval Energy and Environment Support
Activity (NEESA) Program in 1988. This program has evolved into the current Naval
Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) Validation Program (NFESC). Since the beginning, CompuChem
has been involved in over 100 analytical projects under the umbrella of multiple
Comprehensive Long-term Environmental Action Navy (CLEAN) contracts through various
environmental contractors.
Projects conducted for the NFESC program are listed below.

State Certifications
Our laboratory is certified by some of the most prestigious environmental oversight
agencies in the nation. CompuChem is a proud member of the NELAC program and maintains
all requirements associated with this accreditation. CompuChem qualifies for even
more certifications by virtue of reciprocity agreements between our home state certifying
agency, the North Carolina Department of the Environment and Natural Resources,
and certifying agencies located in other states across the nation.
CompuChem is a member in good standing with the American Council of Independent
Laboratories (ACIL) and was recently awarded its fourth consecutive ACIL Seal of
Excellence.
