Indefinite Delivery Contract INE12PC00029

This Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, awarded as a single award on April 9, 2012, with an ultimate completion date of September 14, 2013, was issued by the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) to the California Department of Conservation. The contract was established to support the Spill Emergency Management System (SEMS), a critical environmental response and monitoring capability. The IDIQ structure provided the federal government with flexibility to issue delivery orders against an established contract vehicle without predetermined ceiling values, enabling responsive support for oil spill prevention, response coordination, and related environmental safety activities. The California Department of Conservation, a state government entity with extensive experience in natural resource management and environmental protection, was selected as the prime contractor to fulfill these requirements.

Two delivery orders were issued under this IDIQ contract. The first delivery order, awarded April 10, 2012, with a ceiling value of $2,800 and place of performance in Camarillo, California, was awarded by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management on a firm fixed price basis. The second delivery order, issued September 15, 2012, with performance in Sacramento, California, was awarded by BSEE on a firm fixed price basis for SEMS monitoring activities closely related to the broader program objectives. Neither the primary IDIQ contract nor the delivery orders utilized set-aside provisions, indicating open competition among qualified vendors. The modest delivery order values suggest these represented initial task orders under the IDIQ framework, with the contract vehicle designed to accommodate additional orders as operational needs and funding became available throughout the performance period.
