About this award
The Air Force Civil Engineer Center awarded a $907K firm fixed-price definitive contract to Arclight Research & Consulting, LLC on July 28, 2022, for field validation of a modified HYDRUS model designed to simulate per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) leaching in the vadose zone. The work is being performed at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, with an ultimate completion date of July 29, 2026. This contract supports the Department of Defense's environmental remediation objectives, particularly addressing PFAS contamination at military installations—a critical concern given the widespread use of aqueous film-forming foams (AFFFs) at defense facilities. The contract includes no set-aside designation and represents a competitive award based on technical merit.
To support the analytical requirements of this field validation effort, Arclight Research & Consulting subcontracted with SGS Axys Analytical Services Ltd., a Canadian-based analytical laboratory, on December 8, 2023, for analytical laboratory services. SGS Axys specializes in ultra-trace analytical testing for environmental contaminants including PFAS, pesticides, and other persistent organic pollutants across water, soil, and sediment matrices. The subcontractor brings substantial federal contracting experience, holding significant indefinite delivery contracts with multiple agencies including a $38M PFAS analytical services contract with the U.S. Geological Survey, positioning it well to provide the specialized laboratory analysis necessary for validating the HYDRUS model modifications.
