About this vehicle
EPA Region 1 established the Emergency Rapid Response Services IV (ERRS IV) Master IDIQ on April 17, 2012, to procure cleanup services for emergency and time-critical removal actions related to releases or threatened releases of oil, petroleum products, hazardous substances, or pollutants posing actual or potential threats to human health, welfare, or the environment. The ordering period closed on May 17, 2022, more than four years ago; this vehicle is no longer available for new task orders.
The vehicle issued 1,254 task orders over its operational life through September 2022, but ordering momentum has declined sharply in recent years. Orders per year fell from 199 in 2018 to just 10 in 2022, the final year. The combined potential value of all task orders stands at $807.3 million, with $755 million obligated (94% of the combined potential). Of the $52.3 million in unobligated potential value, much consists of zero-value or heavily deobligated closeout actions.
Environmental Restoration LLC dominates the vehicle, holding 803 orders representing $405.8 million in combined potential value—roughly 50% of the total. Environmental Quality Management, Inc. placed second with 268 orders and $159.9 million in potential value. Kemron Environmental Services, Inc., C M C, Inc., and Guardian Environmental Services Co Inc. round out the five-firm awardee pool; activity is highly concentrated among these primes.
EPA Regions 4 and 5 drove the largest share of ordering activity. Region 4 issued 178 orders valued at $205.1 million combined potential value, while Region 5 issued 225 orders valued at $103 million. Regions 2, 8, and 7 accounted for an additional 446 orders combined. Ordering was distributed across all ten regional subcategories of ERRS IV but concentrated in the Southeast and Great Lakes.
Approximately 89% of task orders carried no set-aside designation, with the remainder designated for small business (11%). The mix reflects the vehicle's competitive, unrestricted structure with optional small-business awards.
Task orders ranged widely in value, from sub-$1,000 emergency response actions (such as the USS Lead Zone 2 & 3 order at $711, or the OK Tire Recycling Fire order at $715) to major removal actions exceeding $3 million (Exide Technologies at $3.27 million obligated, ERIE COKE at $3.97 million). Most orders used time-and-materials pricing, though some firm-fixed-price orders appear scattered throughout. Typical durations ranged from three to six months, with a few multi-year extensions visible in closeout phases. The vehicle covered work nationwide, with sites in New England, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Great Lakes, and beyond, reflecting EPA's national emergency response infrastructure.
Description
The ERRS IDIQ contract covers cleanup services for emergency and time critical removal actions, which include the release or threat of release of oil, petroleum products, hazardous substances, or pollutants and contaminants that pose an actual or potential threat to human health or welfare, or to the environment. Environmental cleanup/response to natural and manmade disasters, terrorist activities, weapons of mass destruction, and nuclear, biological or chemical incidents are covered under the scope of services.
