About this vehicle
Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground established a Master IDIQ for environmental services at Aberdeen Proving Ground and garrison-supported organizations on September 29, 2017, with a shared ceiling of $32.3 million. The vehicle is closed to new task orders; the last date to order was September 27, 2020, and ordering ceased nearly six years ago.
The vehicle has issued 35 task orders over its lifecycle, with combined potential value of $23.8 million obligated at 98 percent. Awarded work spans remediation operations, hazardous material support, groundwater and landfill monitoring, air quality compliance, storage tank maintenance and repair, and asbestos and lead abatement. Task orders are firm fixed price with typical durations of one to four years. The most substantial single order is environmental remedial action operation support services valued at $15 million with completion through August 2027; other significant orders include long-term monitoring and maintenance for landfills at $1.4 million and air quality compliance support at $1.1 million ceiling.
Renova-Sovereign Joint Venture dominates the vehicle, holding eight orders worth $17.6 million combined potential value—76 percent of the total contract value. Ati, Inc. and Bluestone Avatar JV LLC each hold roughly $1.5 million across six to seven orders. The remaining three primes—Service Disabled Contracting Group, Inc., Sundance-Ea II, LLC, and Environmental Research Group, L.L.C.—split the balance. About 77 percent of task orders are unrestricted competitive; 20 percent are set aside to small business, and one competitive 8(a) order was issued. The remaining seven small business set-aside orders were kickoff meetings satisfying minimum guarantee requirements.
Funding is concentrated at Aberdeen Proving Ground. The Installation Management Command Northeast Region issued 29 orders worth $6.1 million, while IMCOM Headquarters issued five orders worth $17.4 million, including the dominant remedial action order. A single Communications Electronics Command order accounts for $289 thousand. All work is performed at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, and subordinate garrison sites.
