Abandoned Mines Response and Construction Services (AMRCS)

The Abandoned Mines Response and Construction Services (AMRCS) Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is a federal contract vehicle designed to provide comprehensive environmental remediation and construction services primarily focused on abandoned uranium mining sites within the Navajo Nation and Grants Mining District in New Mexico. Specifically targeted at EPA Regions 6 and 9, the contract enables environmental cleanup, response, and construction activities at former mining locations. The solicitation indicates the services encompass mine reclamation, cleanup, and redevelopment to address environmental and safety issues on Tribal and public lands, with a strong emphasis on addressing historical environmental challenges associated with uranium mining.

The AMRCS contract has already demonstrated its utility through task orders such as the $29,745,133.13 delivery order awarded to Arrowhead Contracting Inc. for contaminated soil removal and disposal at the Cove Transfer Station Complex in Red Valley, Arizona. Task orders under this vehicle appear to be firm-fixed-price contracts with durations extending several years, with the referenced order having an ultimate completion date of January 24, 2027. The contract was initially designated as a total small business set-aside, though not all subsequent task orders have maintained this designation. Prime contractors like Arrowhead Contracting, a minority-owned small disadvantaged business, have successfully secured task orders, suggesting the contract is accessible to diverse firms with environmental remediation capabilities. The contract has a substantial shared ceiling of $220 million and is set to remain available for ordering until January 4, 2026, providing ongoing opportunities for environmental restoration work in the specified regions.
