Office of Transportation and Air Quality

The Environmental Protection Agency Office of Transportation and Air Quality is a civilian sub-agency within EPA that procures technical equipment, repair services, and materials in support of air quality and environmental radiation monitoring operations. The Office transacts through small, low-value simplified acquisitions rather than large-scale procurements or strategic contracts.

Contract activity at the Office is minimal and sporadic. The portfolio contains 27 total federal contract awards since 2006, with combined potential value of $1.3 million and $379 thousand obligated to date. Award cadence has declined sharply: the Office issued 6 awards in 2007, 13 in 2008, and 2 in 2009, followed by a six-year hiatus before issuing 1 award each in 2019 and 2020. The most recent award closed on June 18, 2020. Across the portfolio, 11 distinct prime contractors have been awarded; the portfolio shows no concentration data by top-vendor rankings, reflecting the small transaction volume and absence of repeat-award patterns. Set-aside designations are nearly absent—26 of 27 awards (96%) carried no set-aside, with 1 award (4%) designated for total small business.

Two recent contract opportunities are open. The EPA Office of Transportation and Air Quality posted a simplified acquisition on October 2, 2026 (solicitation 68HE0M27Q0001) for purchase and repair of four Canberra gamma radiation detectors for the National Analytical Radiation Environmental Laboratory, with due date November 12, 2026. A second simplified acquisition posted September 24, 2026 (solicitation 68HE0M26Q0023) for Signature Device Carts materials closed on October 6, 2026. Both opportunities are unset-aside competitive procurements under simplified acquisition thresholds. The Office does not fund grants; contract activity only is present in this portfolio.
