This federal contract award, valued at $175,997.90, was issued by the Air Force Civil Engineer Center to Versar, Inc., a global project management company, to conduct activities for base-wide well decommissioning at Tinker Air Force Base and Altus Air Force Base in Oklahoma. The contract is a Definitive Contract with a Firm Fixed Price pricing type and is set aside for small businesses.
The contract is part of the Department of Defense's Defense Environmental Restoration Program (DERP), which addresses contamination at active military installations, Formerly Used Defense Sites, and Base Realignment and Closure locations. Under DERP, Versar will likely perform environmental site assessments, remedial investigations, feasibility studies, and long-term monitoring, with a focus on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination and unexploded ordnance removal. The Naval Facilities Engineering Command and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are the primary funding agencies for these types of environmental remediation contracts, which can range from $50,000 to $30 million in value.
