About this IDV
Eastern Research Group Inc. (ERG), a for-profit environmental and health consulting firm, was awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $18 million by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Water on April 22, 2020, with an ultimate completion date of October 21, 2025. This single-award contract, which did not utilize any set-aside designation, provides technical evaluation and market assessment support for the Water Efficiency Program. The contract encompasses a comprehensive range of services supporting the EPA's water conservation initiatives, including technical evaluation of water-using products, systems, services, and activities for potential inclusion in the WaterSense program, market assessment activities, and program implementation and operations support. Primary places of performance include Lexington, Massachusetts and Chantilly, Virginia, with ERG drawing upon its extensive environmental consulting capabilities and established relationship with the EPA to deliver services across multiple functional domains related to water efficiency and conservation.
The contract has generated numerous delivery orders since its award, reflecting sustained demand for ERG's technical support across multiple water efficiency program components. Notable task orders issued include $2.58 million for WaterSense Program Implementation Support, $2.13 million for Water Reuse Team and National Water Reuse Action Plan Development implementation, $1.99 million for WaterSense Product Development and Technical Support, and $1.14 million for WaterSense Consumer Marketing services. Additional delivery orders address specialized support areas such as Clean Water State Revolving Fund emerging contaminants and resiliency initiatives, lagoon wastewater treatment action planning, outdoor water-efficient product evaluation, WaterSense website maintenance and content development, and stakeholder support services. Task order pricing structures predominantly utilize time and materials arrangements, with select orders employing cost-plus-fixed-fee and cost-plus-award-fee models. All task orders have maintained the non-set-aside designation consistent with the parent IDV, demonstrating ERG's competitive capabilities in securing EPA water efficiency program support through open competition.
