About this IDV

The EPA's Office of Water awarded a single-award indefinite-delivery contract to Eastern Research Group Inc. on December 7, 2021, with a ceiling value of $38.119 million for technical and administrative program support for the Water Permits Division (WPD). The contract expires December 6, 2026.

Work is performed in Lexington, Massachusetts, supporting the EPA's development and implementation of water permitting programs under the Clean Water Act and related statutes. The solicitation sought engineering, analytical, editorial, outreach, and logistical capabilities to strengthen the WPD's permit issuance, program oversight, and regulatory compliance activities. The original procurement anticipated 298,000 hours of effort across a five-year base period, one option year, and potential six-month extension; NAICS code 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services) applied with a $16.5 million small-business size standard.

Under this IDIQ, the EPA has issued at least 40 delivery orders spanning diverse WPD mission areas, including National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting and training, stormwater and vessel discharge management, pretreatment and decentralized wastewater programs, Clean Watersheds Needs Survey support, construction and grant management evaluation, and green infrastructure and wet-weather treatment initiatives. Recent substantial orders include $4.982 million for construction and grant management evaluation of community grants projects (awarded September 2023), $2.668 million for stormwater permitting support (awarded February 2024), $1.668 million for Clean Watersheds Needs Survey support (awarded February 2025), and $1.318 million for National Pretreatment Program support (awarded March 2024). Delivery orders employ cost-plus-fixed-fee and cost-plus-award-fee pricing structures. Named subcontractors on recent orders include Michael D. Baker Inc. for conference planning and program support, and Avanti Corporation (Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business) for technical services in wastewater design and treatment.
