EPA Terminology and Metadata Support Services

The Environmental Protection Agency Office of Environmental Information - Funding Office awarded a Master IDIQ, EPA Terminology and Metadata Support Services, on April 7, 2010 for terminology and metadata support services, and ordering closed April 6, 2015. No set-aside was used on any task order, and Keylogic Associates, Inc. is the only prime with orders under the vehicle. Ordering is no longer open, so this vehicle offers no current pursuit path.

Five task orders were issued, the first on August 13, 2010 and the most recent on June 18, 2013. Orders ran one in 2010, one in 2011, and three in 2013, with none issued afterward. Combined potential value is $4.2 million, of which $3.7 million (89%) has been obligated.

Awarded orders bought four service lines: ORD managed vocabulary support; System of Registries and data standards support; EPA glossary standard implementation and substance list contact management; and terminology, metadata, substance identification, and data standards support. Four orders are time and materials and one, the 2011 ORD vocabulary order, is firm fixed price.

The EPA Office of Environmental Information - Funding Office placed four of the five orders, with $3.9 million in combined potential value. The EPA Office of Research and Development placed one order at $278 thousand.

Task-order economics are concentrated in two larger awards. The System of Registries order carries a ceiling of $1,844,947.33 with $1,423,609.15 obligated, and the August 2010 terminology order carries a ceiling of $1,706,891.81 with $1,664,260.61 obligated. The glossary order is the smallest, with a $37,920.00 ceiling. Ultimate completion dates ran from May 6, 2013 to October 6, 2015.
