B -- NATIONAL AIR POLLUTION EMISSION STANDARDS SUPPORT SOL D600005M1 POC Sue Miller, Contract Specialist, PH: 919-541-3052/Janice F. White, Contracting Officer, PH: 919-541-3052. The Environmental Protection Agency has a requirement for National Air Pollution Emission Standards Support. The successful contractors will provide support for the development of National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) under section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and Emission Guidelines under sections 111 and 129 of the CAA, and standards regulating the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOC) under section 183 of the CAA. Support is needed for a total of roughly 68 projects annually. The contractor(s) may be required to provide support for any or all of the phases of the standards development process. These phases include: data gathering, data analysis, background information documentation, preparation for proposal, preparation for promulgation, litigation, and outreach activities. Contractors should be experienced in the process of developing environmental standards. This experience would include skills such as the ability to gather and organize large amounts of data and use this data to estimate emissions and the impacts of proposed standards. Contractors should also have experience in preparing documentation to support environmental standards and drafting environmental regulations. EPA may employ innovative or non-traditional approaches to developing standards which would require the contractors to have experience in activities related to consensus-based or negotiated regulation development, such as organization and facilitation of meetings.

(A separate solicitation will be issued as a small business set-aside portion of this effort (D600022M1). The incumbent of the small business set-aside is EC/R Incorporated (68D10119).)
