About this IDV
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Research and Development awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement valued at $4.6 million to Versar, Inc. on April 1, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2028. This indefinite delivery vehicle establishes a firm fixed-price contract mechanism for Versar to provide external letter peer review services and risk assessment support activities across multiple EPA offices and programs. The contract is not set aside for any specific business category and leverages Versar's GSA Multiple Award Schedule as the parent contract vehicle. Versar, a Washington, D.C.-based professional services firm specializing in technical, scientific, and environmental consulting, competes in open competition to support EPA's mission of ensuring scientific and technical quality through independent peer review of agency work products and assessments.
Under this BPA, Versar has received multiple task orders totaling approximately $69,000 to date, reflecting the specific peer review deliverables being executed. These task orders span EPA's Office of Water and Office of Research and Development and include external peer reviews of water quality standards for the Delaware River, aquatic life screening values for chemicals such as 6PPD and 6PPD-quinone, wetland condition assessments in the Pacific Northwest, chemical fate and transport models at Newtown Creek, the ChemExpo knowledgebase application, and the Value of Compost report. Performance locations are primarily situated in Concord, Massachusetts and Washington, D.C., with periods of performance extending through March 31, 2028 for most task orders. This contract structure allows the EPA to efficiently procure independent scientific peer review services on an as-needed basis while maintaining continuity with a qualified contractor experienced in delivering high-quality technical evaluations across the agency's environmental research and water quality programs.
