About this vehicle

The Environmental Protection Agency Office for Water established a Master IDIQ for technical support in assessment and watershed protection on August 4, 2017, with a shared ceiling of $113 million and a final ordering date of August 3, 2022—ordering closed nearly four years ago and the vehicle is no longer active.

The vehicle funded 43 task orders over its operational life, with ordering momentum concentrated in the first two years: 19 orders in 2018 and 12 in 2019, declining sharply thereafter to 3–5 orders annually in 2020–2022. The most recent task order was issued July 18, 2022. Of the $60.7 million combined potential value across all orders, contractors have obligated $33.4 million (55 percent), indicating moderate utilization relative to the original vehicle ceiling. The predecessor vehicle, EPA Assessment and Watershed Protection I, was awarded September 28, 2012.

Task orders support water quality assessment, TMDL development, nonpoint source management, monitoring and data collection, and watershed modeling. Recent awards include Chesapeake Bay TMDL watershed implementation planning, oceanographic surveying across EPA regions, nutrient task force technical support, water quality exchange and tracking system support, and regional 303(d) program support. All 43 orders were placed without set-aside restriction.

Tetra Tech, Inc. dominated the vehicle with 24 orders valued at $30.9 million combined potential value, representing 51 percent of all task-order awards and 55 percent of combined potential value by count and value respectively. Research Triangle Institute held 7 orders for $24.5 million (40 percent of combined potential value by value, though only 16 percent by order count), reflecting larger average task-order values. The Cadmus Group LLC received 10 orders for $4.5 million, and Michael Baker International, Inc. earned 2 orders for $794 thousand. These four primes captured 100 percent of awarded orders.

The Environmental Protection Agency Office for Water (the contracting and funding entity) placed 30 of 43 orders worth $42.6 million combined potential value (71 percent of activity by both order count and potential value). Five EPA regional offices—Regions 1, 2, 3, and 10, plus headquarters—placed the remaining orders. Task-order values ranged from roughly $48 thousand to $11.2 million ceiling value, with typical orders in the $500 thousand to $2 million range. All orders used cost-plus-fixed-fee or firm-fixed-price pricing.
