About this IDV

Research Triangle Institute (RTI International), a prominent nonprofit research organization headquartered in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, holds a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Air and Radiation for Economic Analyses and Control Strategy Development for Air Pollution Control Regulations. The indefinite delivery vehicle, established April 1, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2026, operates under a single-award structure with no small business set-aside designation. The BPA ceiling value is listed as $0.00, indicating it functions as an indefinite quantity contract where task orders define specific funding levels. Performance locations include Research Triangle Park and Durham, North Carolina, as well as Washington, DC, depending on individual task order requirements. The vehicle is structured under the General Services Administration's Multiple Award Schedule, enabling efficient federal procurement of RTI's specialized environmental research and technical assistance capabilities.

The BPA has generated numerous task orders spanning air quality regulatory support, economic analysis, and environmental assessment activities. Recent task orders include a $1.26 million Transportation Fuel & Vehicle Technology Analysis and Modeling contract (completion May 7, 2028), a $923,595 Environmental Indicators and Population Modeling effort for climate change impact assessment (completion February 2, 2026), and a $909,129 Economic Support for Clean Air Act Rulemakings task order aligned with Inflation Reduction Act initiatives (completion December 8, 2027). Additional task orders address partial and general equilibrium modeling for air regulations ($300,450), economic analyses and control strategy development ($434,763), and chapters for the EPA Air Pollution Control Cost Manual. Collectively, these task orders demonstrate RTI's role in delivering economic assessments, regulatory support services, air quality modeling, climate impact analysis, and technical documentation that inform the EPA's air pollution control regulations and Clean Air Act implementation efforts.
