Office of Radiation and Indoor Air

The Environmental Protection Agency Office of Radiation and Indoor Air is a civilian sub-agency within EPA that procures contract support for radiation monitoring, indoor air quality assessment, and related environmental health programs. The office operates within EPA's broader environmental protection mandate and issues contracts through standard civilian acquisition processes.

Contract activity at ORIA is minimal and inactive relative to current market conditions. The office awarded 75 contracts across its portfolio history since 1979, with the most recent award closing in September 2020—over six years ago. Recent activity has been sparse: one award in 2020, one in 2012, one in 2010, two in 2008, and one in 2005. Combined award potential value stands at $1.7 million against $4 million in obligated dollars, reflecting a mix of contract types and modifications over the portfolio's forty-five-year span. The office has engaged 42 distinct prime contractors across all awards.

Competitive concentration is moderately concentrated among recent active primes. The portfolio shows no set-aside designations across any of the 75 awards—all are unrestricted procurements open to all eligible vendors. The absence of small-business set-asides (8(a), WOSB, SDVOSB, HUBZone, or SBA Small Business) is noteworthy given current government emphasis on small-business engagement; the office's historical posture reflects either specialized vendor requirements that limit the pool or organizational purchasing patterns that predate set-aside programs.

No recent contract opportunities are recorded against ORIA or its descendant offices. The six-year gap between the most recent award and today suggests the office is not actively soliciting new contract work, or that contract activity has shifted to parent-agency procurement vehicles, other EPA sub-offices, or has been substantially reduced. Business development professionals should verify current procurement intent through EPA's main contracting office (EPA Headquarters, Acquisition Management Division) and through SAM.gov notices specifically tagged to ORIA before committing resources.
