In accordance with FAR 6.302-1(a)(1), there is the only responsible source available that can satisfy agency requirements to provide uninterrupted support to essential requirements under contract EP-C-16-003, which currently expires on December 31, 2021. The proposed action would extend contract EP-C-16-003 through January 31, 2022, with a possible additional one (1)-month extension through February 28, 2022, as well as extend the already approved 22 work assignments. It is anticipated that no additional hours are required for this extension. This extension is needed to ensure the continued support for essential programs that primarily focus on providing consulting support services to the United States Environmental Protection Agency in amending, developing, and implementing National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits and Clean Water Act (CWA) regulations.

The Contracting Officer has determined that, in accordance with FAR 6.302-1(a)(1) � (Sole Source, One Responsible Source), ERG is the only responsible contractor to provide uninterrupted support of these essential requirements during the one (1) to two (2)-month extension period because of its expertise, resources, and experience performing the current contract requirements. This extension is necessary to continue to support this critical work while in the end stages of awarding the follow-on contract, resulting from RFP 68HERC20R0088. Any entity that believes it is capable of meeting the EPA�s requirement MUST submit documentation to the office identified in this notice. Supporting evidence must be furnished in sufficient detail to demonstrate the entity�s ability to meet all requirements outlined above.
