EPA Region 1 (New England) has issued a Sources Sought Notice for market research only; it is not a solicitation, no contract will be awarded, and no costs will be reimbursed. EPA is assessing the availability of qualified 8(a) small businesses and Alaska Native corporations under NAICS 562910 capable of performing the draft SOW for the Superfund Technical Assessment & Response Team (START). The current requirement is under the SBA 8(a) Business Development Program, and EPA intends to retain the follow-on within 8(a) while evaluating whether a competitive 8(a) acquisition is feasible. Interested firms must identify their current 8(a) status, applicable NAICS code, and relevant technical capabilities in a targeted response via FEDCONNECT. Standard brochures and telephone requests for a solicitation will not be accepted or reviewed.
