- 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. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is conducting this market search to determine the capabilities of potential small business sources in preparation for a future procurement. Information submitted in response to this notice is merely used for internal market research purposes and no feedback will be offered to the interested parties that submit capability statements. The EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) has a requirement for contractor(s) to provide external peer reviews of Agency products. These external peer reviews may be both scientific and technical in nature. The successful contractor(s) shall provide all necessary labor, materials, services, equipment and facilities in support of the efforts delineated by the draft Performance Work Statement (PWS). A draft PWS can be obtained from the OAM website, http:www.epa.gov/oam/cinn_cmd/. Specific areas to be addressed in capability packages submitted by respondents are as follows : Capable to perform at a minimum 20 peer reviews simultaneously involving scientific/technical peer reviews of documents and materials related to the following topics: 1) complex chemical-specific hazard assessments; 2) background documents that include toxicological reviews on hazard identification, dose-response information and risk characterization, human health and ecological risk assessments, can cer and non-cancer assessments provisionally developed for Superfund Risk Assessors, and various advanced statistical methodologies applied to hazard assessment modeling; 3) research plans and proposals dealing with the application of state-of-the-science approaches for conducting hazard assessments; 4) scientific and technical reviews; 5) Agency work products; and 6) preparation of instructional materials to communicate highly technical guidelines and standards related to health or the environment. It is anticipated that the solicitation will contemplate a multiple award performance-based indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity task order contract(s). Task orders may be issued on a firm-fixed-price or time-and-materials basis. On rare occasions task orders may be issued on a cost plus fixed fee (CPFF), level of effort, completion or term basis. The ordering period established under the contract(s) will be five years. The applicable NAICS code is 541990 (All Other Professional Scientific, and Technical Services) with a size standard of $7 million in annual receipts. ANY INTERESTED SMALL BUSINESS may submit a capability statement which clearly demonstrates its management, scientific and technical capabilities to perform the key requirements described above. Standard company brochures will not be considered a sufficient response to this Sources Sought Synopsis. In the capabilities statements, responders should provide their size status for the above referenced NAICS, (i.e. large, small) and whether or not they are a certified hubzone, 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. Responses to the above should be submitted to growne y.matthew@epa.gov no later than 15 calendar days from the date of posting. A separate synopsis will be issued in advance of any Request for Proposal (RFP).
