About this award
Humphreys Engineer Center Support Activity awarded a $1.677 million definitive contract to Cornell University for research on environmental conditions influencing natural abiotic and biotic transformation of perfluoroalkyl acid (PFAA) precursors at aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF)-impacted sites on January 9, 2024, under a cost no-fee pricing structure with performance completing January 8, 2028.
The originating solicitation derives from Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) project ER23-3628 and Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) project ER23-3628, announced via pre-solicitation in November 2020. The research addresses abiotic and biotic transformation pathways of PFAA precursors at contaminated sites, encompassing five tasks: biotic transformation of PFAA precursors, abiotic transformation, lysimeter studies, aquifer cell studies with fluctuating water table conditions, and project reporting and technical outreach.
Place of performance is Ithaca, New York. Cornell operates through its Office of Sponsored Programs division as a tax-exempt 1862 land-grant university. Subcontractors include the University of Michigan (providing technical expertise on PFAS analysis, including non-targeted analysis, and contributing to Tasks 1–5) and Brown University (providing similar PFAS analytical support and technical writing across Tasks 1–5). Multiple subcontracting incremental funding actions occurred between March 2024 and October 2025, reflecting phased task execution and research validation.
