This contract award is a logical follow-on to an existing contract (EP-C-15-002) held by Battelle Memorial Institute, a global nonprofit research and development organization. The $150,204 delivery order contract, awarded by the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Research and Development, funds experimental procedures to test sampling, processing, and analytical approaches for materials contaminated by an urban, wide-area release of chemical agents and pathogens. Battelle has been tasked with this work, which is not set-aside for any specific business type. The contract will run through January 2021. As part of the effort, Battelle has issued a $580,919 subcontract to Spectral Labs Incorporated, a small business manufacturer in San Diego, to provide software training simulations. Battelle frequently serves as a prime contractor for the federal government, leveraging its extensive scientific and technical capabilities to address complex challenges across national security, health, energy, and other domains.
