Emergency Rapid Response Services Planning PR (ERRS PR)

EPA Region 3 established a Master IDIQ for Emergency Rapid Response Services Planning on April 17, 2012, with the last date to order passing on August 31, 2017—the vehicle is no longer active. The contract succeeded a predecessor vehicle awarded in September 2004 and funded environmental emergency response, site remediation, and related services across EPA Region 3's jurisdictional footprint (Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia).

Ordering momentum peaked in 2015 and 2016, with 19 and 18 task orders awarded respectively, before declining sharply to only two orders in 2017 before the vehicle's close. Across the vehicle's lifespan, EPA issued 73 task orders with a combined potential value of $64.2 million, of which $63.8 million (99 percent) has been obligated. Nearly all ordering activity—64 of 73 orders and $64 million of the $64.2 million combined potential value—flowed directly to EPA Region 3. The remaining four EPA regions collectively generated only $216 thousand in orders.

Three primes dominate the portfolio. Kemron Environmental Services, Inc. holds the largest combined potential value at $27.8 million across 27 orders, while Guardian Environmental Services Co Inc. captured $31.4 million across 17 orders. Environmental Restoration LLC secured 29 orders but only $5 million combined potential value, reflecting smaller average task-order values. The three firms collectively account for 100 percent of awarded task orders.

The set-aside mix reflects a split strategy: 52 percent of orders (38 total) were Small Business set-asides, 32 percent (23 orders) were unrestricted competitive, and 16 percent (12 orders) were Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business sole-source or competitive awards. Task orders typically ranged from under $4 thousand to several hundred thousand dollars, though outliers existed. The largest order, EPS31202-0013 for Gorst Creek/Bremerton Auto Wrecking Landfill Site work, obligated $28.45 million. Another major order, EPS31201-0007 for Safety Light Corporation Superfund Site remedial action, obligated $11.18 million. Most task orders employed Time and Materials pricing; Firm Fixed Price appeared on a smaller subset. Given the vehicle's ordering window has closed and no new orders are possible, the vehicle offers no forward opportunity for new work.
