About this IDV

Battelle Memorial Institute, a large nonprofit research and development organization headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, holds a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) valued at $6.7 million with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Air and Radiation for ambient air monitoring and quality assurance support services. The BPA, awarded on January 1, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of June 30, 2026 (subsequently extended through a bilateral modification exercising the extension option to this date), operates as a single-award indefinite delivery vehicle under the General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule. Battelle was selected without a set-aside designation through full and open competition. The contract supports the EPA's environmental monitoring mission by providing technical expertise across multiple locations including Columbus, Ohio; Durham, North Carolina; Washington, D.C.; and Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. As a time and materials and firm fixed-price vehicle, the BPA enables the EPA to issue task orders efficiently for specialized environmental services without requiring separate competitive procurements.

The BPA has generated numerous task orders totaling over $4.4 million to date, supporting critical EPA initiatives including National Monitoring Networks Quality Assurance Programs, Performance-based Acquisition and Management System (PAMS) implementation, ambient air quality monitoring methodology development, and protocol gas verification program maintenance. Specific technical deliverables include ambient ethylene oxide (ETO) and ethylene thiourea (ETU) measurement method evaluation and improvement support, lead (Pb) analysis audit website hosting and audit strip preparation and distribution, database maintenance for the Ambient Air Protocol Gas Verification Program, and technical assistance for the National Air Toxics Trends Station. Task orders reflect ongoing support from fiscal year 2021 through 2026, with work performed through both time and materials and firm fixed-price arrangements. The contract demonstrates Battelle's established capability to deliver complex environmental science and technical support services, with modifications documenting consistent engagement in updating contractor and alternative contracting officer representatives as needed to maintain program continuity.
