This is a Sources Sought/Request for Information. The purpose of this announcement is for market research purposes to determine what capable 8(a) firms that are available for a proposed new pool of Multiple Award Task Order Contracts (MATOC) for Environmental Consulting Services (ECS) to support work assigned to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) by various Department of Defense (DoD) and Interagency and International Support (IIS) customers, including but not limited to: Environmental Compliance Program: DoD Sustainable Range Program; Natural Resources Management Program; Environmental Support for Others (ESFO) Program; support to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA); control of environmental contamination; environmental compliance and restoration; natural, historical and cultural resource management; environmental stewardship; environmental sustainability; and all other environmental related regulatory programs. We are currently anticipating that the eventual awards will have firm-fixed price task orders. Task orders would be in support primarily throughout the USACE Northwestern Division (NWD) area of responsibility (AOR) or other locations where NWD work may be assigned. The majority of the task orders that would be issued under these MATOCs are to provide multimedia environmental, occupational, safety and health related services to USACE for Department of Defense (DoD) and other federal agencies. The term “multimedia” refers to the need for services in all major Federal, State and local environmental, occupational, safety and health regulatory areas. The intent of the ECS contract is to expand on the services acquired under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 541620 to provide full environmental compliance support to USACE customers. The exact number of awardees has not been determined, but a potential range of 3-5 Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) actions is being considered. The overall pool value of the group of awards is anticipated at $9.9 Million. We are currently considering a base period of three years, with an option for an additional two years for those IDIQ contracts.
