- Description
- The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) intends to award a (5) month term extension to contract EP-D-06-001 with E.H. Pechan & Associates, Inc on a sole source basis pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) subpart 6.302-1(a)(2) which implements 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1) - "only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements". Since 2005, Pechan has provided support to the EPA Office of Air and Radiation, Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) for services in support of program review and tracking. During this period of time, Pechan has provided support for cost, benefits, and economic analyses, as well as regulatory impacts and quality management for major office or air rule makings. Any interruption in this support poses a significant risk of missing statutory and court ordered deadlines, which is critical to the Agency's mission. Currently, Option Period IV of contract EP-D-06-001 expires on April 30, 2011. A follow-on competitive procurement is in process, however, it will not be awarded before contract EP-D-06-001 expires. It is essential that court ordered deadlines in support of NAAQS, NSPS and NESHAP projects be met. Missing deadlines will result in a delay in completing standards which would increase the public's exposure to harmful toxic air pollutants. The proposed extension of this contract is to provide program review and tracking which includes the comprehensive evaluation of the air quality data and type of progress states are making toward meeting the NAAQS. Only Pechan, through this contract, can supply the needed services within the time frame the Agency requires. A critically important fact is that the activities within these source categories are under court ordered deadlines and involved in litigation, which requires the Agency to proceed with the work in progress without interruption. No request for proposal is available and this notice is not a request for competitive proposals. Interested parties who believe that they are qualified to perform this effort within the time frames required by the Agency must submit a written narrative statement of capability within 15 days of this notice to: US EPA, ATTN: Natalia Fisher Jackson, RTP Procurement Operations Division, MD 105-02, Research Triangle Park, NC 27711 for consideration by the Agency. Responses must include detailed technical information and other technical literature demonstrating the ability to meet these requirements. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract extension based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. If no affirmative responses are received within fifteen (15) days of this notice, the Government will proceed with the above mentioned five (5) month term extension of contract EP-D-06-001 with E.H. Pechan and Associates, Inc.
