The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 541620, Environmental Consulting Services, with a small business size standard of $19 Million. This industry comprises of establishments primarily engaged in providing advice and assistance to businesses and other organizations on environmental issues, such as the control of environmental contamination from pollutants, toxic substances, and hazardous materials. These establishments identify problems, measure, and evaluate risks and recommend solutions. They employ a multidiscipline staff of scientists, engineers, and other technicians with expertise in areas, such as air and water quality, asbestos contamination, remediation, and environmental law. The attached RFP potentially may limit competition from vendors with organizational conflicts of interest. These services require performance in accordance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (also known as CERCLA or Superfund) as amended, the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan and other environmental statues. Most of the technical support that the contractor shall be tasked as applicable for nationally consistent advisory and assistance to EPA�s On-Scene Coordinators (OSCs) and other federal officials implementing EPA�s responsibilities under the national response system. The prospective contractor will be required to provide services to support response and site assessment activities related to the release or threat of release of oil, petroleum products, hazardous substances, weapons of mass destruction or pollutants and contaminants that pose an actual or potential threat to human health and welfare, or to the environment. The Proposal, in its entirety, is due before July 23rd, 2024, 2:00 PM CDT. Any volume submitted late may force the entire proposal to be considered late. The overall instructions, evaluation criteria, pricing, as well as general guidance for the RFP are listed under sections L & M of the solicitation. Once awarded, solicitation sections L & M and attachments #8 through #10 will be removed. While performing the services, prospective vendors may use scientific equipment to measure/monitor environmental conditions and activities to further the Agency's primary mission: The protection of human health and the environment.
