- Description
- THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS FOR WRITTEN INFORMATION ONLY. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION ANNOUNCEMENT FOR PROPOSALS AND NO CONTRACT WILL BE AWARDED FROM THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. In preparation for a future procurement, the Environment Protection Agency (EPA) is performing market research to determine potential sources that are small businesses. The EPA has a need for a contractor to provide technical and analytical support to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Office of Air and Radiation (OAR), Office of Transportation and Air Quality (OTAQ), Assessment and Standards Division (ASD) and other divisions within OTAQ. ASD has the primary responsibility for developing mobile source emissions models and inventories and developing and promulgating mobile source air emission standards under Title II of the Clean Air Act Amendments of November 15, 1990 (CAAA). Studying, modeling, and regulating Greenhouse Gas emissions from mobile sources, as well as studying new engine technologies and fuels to reduce these emissions, has become a major area of focus for ASD, which also works with other divisions in OTAQ on these issues. Specific areas to be addressed in capability packages submitted by respondents are as follows: (1) Capabilities to provide economic, environmental, statistical, scientific, and evaluative analysis support, (2) Capabilities to provide technical and engineering analysis support, (3) Capabilities to provide Graphical Information Systems (GIS), training, peer review, literature review and analysis, information collection request (ICR) and database development support, and (4) Capabilities to provide communication, outreach, meeting and public hearing, docketing, response to public comments, guidance, training, and regulatory program support. The successful contractor of any resultant contract will be expected to provide all necessary labor, materials, and services in support of the efforts delineated by the Performance Work Statement (PWS). A draft PWS can be obtained for the OAM website, http://www.epa.gov/oam/cinn_cmd/. Any interested firms should submit capability statement with information that clearly demonstrates their capabilities to provide the services described above, including personnel, experience, and qualifications. Standard company brochures will not be considered a sufficient response to this Sources Sought Synopsis. It is anticipated that the contract will be a Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) Level of Effort (LOE) with five one-year periods, each with LOE of approximately 26,000 hours. The applicable NAICS code is 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services) with a small business size standard of $7 million. In the capabilities statements, contractors should provide their size status for the above referenced NAICS code, (i.e. large, small) and whether or not they are a certified hub zone, 8(a), women-owned, small-disadvantaged and/or disabled veteran owned concern. As a reminder, small businesses are required to perform at least 50 percent of the costs of the contract performance with their own personnel (FAR 52.219-14). The EPA reserves the right to set this action aside for small businesses. These capability statements are merely and aid to the EPAs market research efforts. Respondents are advised that EPA is under no obligation to provide respondents with any feedback on the information received. Responses to the above should be submitted to Lisa Ryle, U.S. EPA, Cincinnati Procurement Operations Division, 26 W. Martin Luther King Drive, Cincinnati, OH 45268 no later than July 19, 2010. A separate synopsis will be issued for the Request for Proposal (RFP), resulting from this sources sought synopsis.
