About this award
Trustees of Tufts College was awarded a $1.34 million Cost Plus Fixed Fee definitive contract by the Humphreys Engineer Center Support Activity (a component of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) under the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) Project ER18-1149. The contract, awarded on June 5, 2018, with performance through June 5, 2023, was not set aside for any specific business category. Work was performed in Boston, Massachusetts, and the contract supported research initiatives aligned with SERDP's mission to develop innovative environmental solutions for defense installations and military operations. Tufts University, as a prominent research institution with extensive federal contracting experience across defense and civilian agencies, was well-positioned to deliver the specialized research services required under this award.
Tufts University engaged two major subcontractors to support the research objectives: Brown University (awarded September 17, 2020) and Auburn University (awarded September 1, 2020). Brown University's subcontract focused on quantifying phase partitioning and transport behavior of selected per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and PFAA precursors in reference soils and natural aquifer materials—critical research given the environmental and health concerns associated with PFAS contamination. Auburn University's subcontract, designated SERDP 2017 PFAS, provided complementary expertise in environmental assessment. These subcontracts demonstrate a collaborative research approach typical of SERDP initiatives, which leverage academic expertise across multiple institutions to address complex environmental challenges affecting military installations.
