Emergency Rapid Response Services IV (ERRS IV)

The Emergency Rapid Response Services IV (ERRS IV) is a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle managed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that provides comprehensive environmental emergency response and remediation services. The contract covers cleanup and response activities for critical environmental incidents, including the release or threat of release of hazardous substances, oil, petroleum products, pollutants, and contaminants that pose potential risks to human health or the environment. The scope encompasses a wide range of services such as site assessment, containment, removal, transportation, disposal, monitoring, and emergency response to natural and manmade disasters, including potential scenarios involving hazardous materials, chemical incidents, and environmental contamination.

Task orders under this IDIQ vehicle are predominantly awarded to environmental remediation firms like Environmental Restoration LLC and Environmental Quality Management, Inc., with contract values typically ranging from $10,000 to approximately $4 million. The delivery orders consistently focus on specific site remediation projects across multiple EPA regions, particularly Regions 3, 4, and 5, covering states in the Mid-Atlantic, Southeastern, and Midwestern United States. The majority of task orders are time-and-materials or firm fixed-price contracts with performance periods spanning several months to two years. No set-aside designations were predominantly used across the task orders, indicating open competition. Common sites of remediation include abandoned industrial facilities, contaminated groundwater sites, former manufacturing locations, oil spill areas, and sites with hazardous material deposits. The primary funding agency is the EPA, with task orders addressing environmental cleanup, emergency response, and Superfund site restoration efforts.
