The Environmental Protection Agency is seeking technical support for the Office of Solid Waste (OSW) in the Economics, Methods, and Risk Analytical Division (EMRAD). Support will be required in EPA's collection and analyses of data and in conducting environmental, economic, and regulatory analyses to assess the impact of policy options, program determinations, and regulatory proposals regarding hazardous and non-hazardous wastes. The contractor shall provide innovative analytical support to the OSW as it develops policies for the management of RCRA-regulated wastes and related programs.

It is anticipated that the resultant contract type will be Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee, with a one year base period and 4-one year option periods.
