About this IDV

The Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Air and Radiation established a Blanket Purchase Agreement with Eastern Research Group Inc. on July 1, 2022, against the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, with a $5.776 billion ceiling through June 30, 2027. The BPA procures environmental, analytical, research, technical, and hybrid (EARTH) support services.

Eastern Research Group Inc., headquartered in Concord, Massachusetts, is an environmental and health consulting firm specializing in air and water quality monitoring, emissions testing, regulatory compliance, and technical analysis for federal agencies. The company operates as a Subchapter S Corporation with federal contractor registration since January 2002.

Place of performance spans multiple locations including Concord and Lexington, Massachusetts; Washington, D.C.; Durham, North Carolina; and other sites as directed by task order. The BPA accommodates nationwide and international ordering under the EPA's air and radiation programs.

Recent BPA-call activity reflects substantial utilization across multiple EPA offices. A $26.2 million call awarded August 15, 2024, provides drinking water and wastewater technical assistance to tribes and Alaska Native villages in EPA Region 6, with BAI Engineers LLC, a minority-owned small disadvantaged business, engaged as subcontractor for Lead Service Line Replacement and Emerging Contaminant activities. A $57.1 million firm fixed-price call awarded December 13, 2023, supports the Office of Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention's Inflation Reduction Act implementation through June 17, 2029, with subcontractors including Industrial Economics Inc. and Castro & Company LLC (Hispanic American-owned) for economic analysis and financial advisory services. Additional 2024 and 2023 calls totaling $13.6 million, $6.2 million, $3.3 million, $3.3 million, and $1.0 million address mobile source emissions testing, Clean School Bus and DERA programs, transportation air quality characterization, landfill methods development, and oil and gas emissions work. A February 2024 call to the Office of Water valued at $35.9 million provides wastewater engineering and technical assistance through February 27, 2027, with subcontractor support from Woolpert Holdings Inc., Houston Engineering Inc., Carollo Engineers Inc., Short-Elliott-Hendrickson Inc., and AECOM.
