The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Office of Air and Radiation, awarded this modification to Industrial Economics Inc. (IEC) on August 23, 2024, to add final incremental funding for Option Period 1 under EPA Order #14. The contract supports improvements to the BenMAP tool, which quantifies and monetizes human health impacts associated with poor air quality and climate change. This effort aligns with EPA's core mission to protect human health and the environment through data-driven analysis and policy support. The contract is structured as a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) call with a time and materials pricing model, carrying a ceiling value of $1.5 million and an ultimate completion date of August 22, 2026. No small business set-aside was utilized for this award.

IEC, a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based environmental consulting firm with over three decades of experience, is well-positioned to deliver this work. The contractor maintains an existing $39.8 million BPA with the EPA's Office of Land and Emergency Management for economic and analytical support services, demonstrating its established relationship with the agency and proven capability in providing sophisticated economic modeling and scientific analysis. The work will be performed at IEC's Cambridge headquarters. As a non-set-aside award in open competition, this contract reflects IEC's competitive strength in the environmental consulting market, where the firm regularly supports multiple federal agencies on complex regulatory impact analyses, economic assessments, and environmental policy development.
