EPA Terminology and Metadata Support Services

The Environmental Protection Agency Office of Environmental Information awarded a Master IDIQ for Terminology and Metadata Support Services, with ordering authority through April 6, 2115. The vehicle is effectively inactive for business development purposes: the last task order was issued in June 2013, thirteen years ago, and no new orders have been placed since.

The Master IDIQ established on April 7, 2010, supported EPA's data governance and standards infrastructure through five BPA calls totaling $4.2 million in combined potential value. Actual work involved terminology management, metadata architecture, System of Registries and data standards support, substance identification, EPA glossary implementation, and managed vocabulary support. Task orders ran on time-and-materials or firm-fixed-price basis, with completion dates concentrated between May 2013 and October 2015.

Keylogic Associates, Inc. held 100 percent of awarded task orders under this vehicle—all five orders and the full $4.2 million combined potential value. The dominant customer was the EPA Office of Environmental Information, which funded four orders worth $3.9 million; the EPA Office of Research and Development placed one order for $278 thousand. All five task orders carried no set-aside designation. The combined task-order dollars obligated reached $3.7 million, representing 89 percent of combined potential value. Individual order ceilings ranged from approximately $37,900 to $1.8 million, with typical durations of one to two years.

This vehicle presents negligible active opportunity. Activity ceased after 2013, well before task-order completion, and the thirteen-year hiatus suggests the vehicle is no longer in active use despite the extended ordering authority window. Pursuit is not recommended unless you have confirmed current EPA intent to issue new orders under this vehicle.
