Emerging Environmental Requirements Acquisition (EERA)

The Emerging Environmental Requirements Acquisition (EERA) is a multiple award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to support complex environmental remediation, assessment, and restoration services. The contract encompasses a broad range of environmental services including project planning, site investigations, environmental compliance, munitions response, hazardous waste management, and remedial actions across Department of Defense (DoD) sites, formerly used defense sites, and other federal properties. Services span project scopes such as assessments, inspections, surveys, engineering evaluations, cost analyses, sampling and analysis, contamination containment, waste transportation and disposal, monitoring, data management, training, and logistical support.

Recent task orders demonstrate the vehicle's versatility, with contracts ranging from minimum guarantee services of $2,500 to substantial remediation efforts valued over $36 million. Key task orders include Parsons Government Services Inc.'s $36.9 million contract for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) site investigations for the Army National Guard and Aptim Federal Services LLC's $3.6 million remedial investigation at Dugway Proving Ground. Contractors such as Parsons, Aptim, Jacobs USAE Joint Venture, AECOM Technical Services, and Hydrogeologic Inc. have been awarded task orders, with performance locations spanning nationwide sites including California, Utah, Virginia, and Louisiana. The contract vehicle does not consistently use small business set-asides, and task orders are primarily issued as firm-fixed-price contracts with varying performance periods, typically ranging from two to ten years.
