ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPORT SERVICES
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has awarded a contract ceiling increase to AECOM Technical Services LLC on a sole-source basis under an existing IDIQ contract (1305M421DNAAA0016) for environmental support services, with the award dated September 18, 2026.
The justification cites FAR 6.302-1, only one responsible source. AECOM was selected due to unique qualifications including established proficiency with NOAA-specific systems, dedicated core audit team knowledge, and the criticality of maintaining program continuity during transition to a new competitive contract anticipated for FY27. The original five-year ordering period runs from September 30, 2021, through September 29, 2026, with less than one month remaining. The modification obligates funds via a new task order to be issued on or before September 25, 2026, with performance extending one year beyond the initial contract expiration in accordance with FAR 52.216-22(d).
Services support the Office of the Chief Administrative Officer's Environmental Compliance and Sustainability Division and include environmental compliance, safety, and occupational health assessments; NEPA and related support; floodplain and wetlands surveys; hazardous material surveys; environmental site assessments; site characterization, remediation, and restoration services; data management; NOAA Environmental Management System support; building and structural demolition related to environmental site restoration; and sustainability and energy program support. These services will conduct comprehensive environmental, safety, and occupational health compliance audits at approximately 235 NOAA facilities through the NOAA Environmental Compliance and Safety Assessment System program. A Notice of Intent to Sole Source was published on SAM.gov on August 28, 2026; two responses were received but deemed non-viable due to lack of capability in multiple task areas. NAICS 541620; PSC F999.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Acquisition and Grants Office issued a notice of intent on August 28, 2026, to modify contract 1305M421DNAAA0016 on a sole-source basis, increasing the IDIQ ceiling to procure additional technical professional services for environmental compliance audits at approximately 235 NOAA facilities. The modification supports the Office of the Chief Administrative Officer Safety and Environmental Compliance Office's Environmental Compliance and Sustainability Division in executing the NOAA Environmental Compliance and Safety Assessment System (NECSAS) program through the remainder of the ordering period. NOAA's Safety and Environmental Compliance Office requires a consistent, dedicated core audit team to maintain institutional knowledge across a diverse portfolio of Tier I, II, and III sites as the volume of environmental compliance review projects has increased significantly. The existing IDIQ encompasses ten task categories: environmental compliance, safety and occupational health assessments; NEPA and related support; floodplain and wetlands surveys; hazardous material surveys; environmental site assessments; site characterization, remediation and restoration services; data management; environmental management system implementation; building and structural demolition related to environmental site restoration; and sustainability and energy program support.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Office of the Chief Administrative Officer's Safety and Environmental Office is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Notice to identify qualified contractors for an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to provide environmental, occupational safety, and health support services. The procurement seeks technical expertise across environmental compliance, energy management, sustainability/resilience, and occupational safety and health programs, including environmental and safety audits using TEAM Guide and OSH Guide protocols, NEPA support, site assessments, remediation and restoration services, specialized surveys for hazardous materials, and program support activities. Interested contractors must demonstrate national deployment capability across approximately 235 NOAA sites, maintain appropriate certifications including Certified Industrial Hygienists, Certified Safety Professionals, and Professional Engineers, and possess experience with federal compliance requirements such as CERCLA, RCRA, and ESA consultations. The evaluation of responses will assess business profile and socio-economic status, technical and geographic reach capabilities, personnel qualifications and reach-back support availability, and administrative capacity to manage multiple simultaneous task orders with rapid 10-day proposal turnarounds. The deadline for responding to this Sources Sought Notice is March 20, 2026, with an additional Questions and Answers document posted on March 18, 2026, clarifying that the 10-page capabilities statement limit excludes the separate Attachment A Questionnaire submission.
This Pre-solicitation Notice does not involve a small business set-aside, and no incumbent contractor or award value information has been disclosed in the market research phase. The scope of work encompasses services across a broad geographic footprint covering NOAA's nationwide facility portfolio, though specific budget allocations and contract values have not been released at this pre-solicitation stage. No current contractor names or historical performance data have been identified in the published materials. The questionnaire responses will be used to refine the acquisition strategy and determine the final procurement method, with potential for both small and large business concerns to participate once the formal solicitation is released. Contractors with existing contract vehicles such as GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) or General Services Administration Wide Area Contracts (GWACs) are encouraged to identify these in their responses, and teaming arrangements are permitted for firms seeking to combine capabilities.
