Basic Ordering Agreement HSCG8404A800143

The U.S. Coast Guard awarded a Basic Ordering Agreement to American Pollution Control Corp (doing business as Ampol) on March 30, 2005, with a ceiling value of one dollar and an ultimate completion date of March 30, 2010. This multiple award, non-set-aside BOA authorizes Ampol to provide labor, materials, and equipment to mitigate the harmful effects to the environment of oil spills or hazardous chemical incidents, as directed by the Federal On-Scene Coordinator. Ampol, a for-profit environmental remediation and emergency response company headquartered in New Iberia, Louisiana, specializes in manufacturing and supplying oil spill response equipment and hazardous materials mitigation services. The contractor maintains extensive expertise in providing oil containment booms, boom reels, tow bridles, mooring systems, and related response apparatus to federal agencies across multiple departments.

Between December 2005 and August 2007, the Coast Guard issued four delivery orders under this BOA totaling approximately $268,278, employing time-and-materials pricing structures to enable rapid deployment for emergency environmental response. These delivery orders were performed at various locations including New Iberia and Empire, Louisiana; Norfolk, Virginia; and Beaumont, Texas, with individual task order values ranging from $3,278 to $250,000. Two delivery orders were designated as National Interest Actions related to Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita in 2005, reflecting the contractor's critical role in post-disaster environmental remediation efforts. The BOA structure provided the Coast Guard with flexible, on-call access to specialized environmental protection resources and demonstrated the government's confidence in Ampol's rapid-response capabilities for maritime emergencies and hazardous materials incidents.
