The United States Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Acquisition Management will issue a solicitation to provide technical support services to EPARegion IV for emergency response, removal, site assessment, and related technical and administrative services as defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA or Superfund) as amended, the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan and other statutes. The contractor will provide services to support response and site assessment activities related to the release or threat of release of oil, petroleum products, hazardous substances, or pollutants and contaminants, that pose an actual or potential threat to human health or welfare, or to the environment. The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code for this requirement is 8744, Environmental Remediation Services, with a size standard of 500 employees. The Government has determined that there would be a significant potential for conflict-of-interest if a firm awarded a START-2 contract in Region IV were also an Emergency and Rapid Response (ERRS), Time Critical Rapid Response (TCRR), or Emergency Response Cleanup Services (ERRS) contractor or subcontractor in Region IV. Therefore a contractor or subcontractor performing ERRS/TCRR/ERCS activities in Region IV is ineligible for award of a START-2 contract in Region IV.
