- NAICS Code: 54161 EPA is conducting market research to determine if there are small disabled veteran-owned businesses that can perform the following work, entitled: Assistance with Logistical Support to organize and Conduct a Practitioner's Workshop for EPA Voluntary Programs - Valuation of Environmental Benefits. The National Center for Environmental Economics has a need to conduct analyses in several areas of study.

To enable EPA program managers to learn new strategies for overcoming their most pressing Voluntary Program challenges including the "business case" or incentives for participation, collecting Program performance data, and Program branding. 3. Share information with other EPA Voluntary Program managers and staff who run similar programs and have similar challenges. 4. Learn about the many resources the new EPA Voluntary Program Coordination Team can offer EPA Voluntary Programs. 5.
