About this award
Eastern Research Group Inc. (ERG), doing business as Erg, Inc., was awarded a delivery order valued at $1.11 million on July 18, 2025, for investigations of atmospheric chemistry processes that control ambient concentrations of ozone, particulate matter 2.5 micrometers or smaller (PM2.5), and air toxic compounds. The contract, which operates on a time-and-materials basis with an ultimate completion date of July 17, 2028, will be performed in Durham, North Carolina. The award was issued by the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of the Administrator and carries no set-aside designation, reflecting ERG's competitive standing in open federal procurement. This engagement supports the EPA's air quality research and regulatory mission by advancing scientific understanding of complex atmospheric chemistry processes that directly inform national air quality standards and pollution control strategies.
ERG engaged Science Systems and Applications, Inc. (SSAI), a certified woman-owned small business headquartered in Lanham, Maryland, as a subcontractor on November 25, 2025, to provide smog chamber support services. SSAI brings specialized expertise in atmospheric science and environmental monitoring to this research initiative. ERG's selection for this work reflects its extensive portfolio of air quality and atmospheric chemistry research contracts with the EPA, including a $425.8 million Blanket Purchase Agreement for Technical and Outreach Support Services with the EPA's Office of Air and Radiation and a $100 million Indefinite Delivery Contract for on-site research laboratory support at EPA's Research Triangle Park facility, positioning the company as a strategic partner for the agency's complex environmental research requirements.
