International Remediation and Environmental Services (IRES)

The International Remediation and Environmental Services (IRES) Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, awarded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineering Support Center Huntsville, focuses on comprehensive environmental remediation and hazardous materials management services. The contract's primary objective is to provide specialized services for locating, identifying, recovering, evaluating, and disposing of Munitions and Explosives of Concern (MEC), Munitions Constituents (MC), Chemical Warfare Materiel (CWM), Biological Waste, and Hazardous, Toxic and Radiological Waste (HTRW). These services extend to implementing environmental compliance measures and supporting munitions-related activities across Department of Defense sites, including foreign jurisdictions, with a total contract ceiling of $950 million.

The task orders under this IDIQ demonstrate a diverse range of environmental remediation projects, primarily focused on overseas locations such as Afghanistan, Japan, Jordan, and Italy. Key contractors including Tetra Tech EC, Inc., Acuity - Janus Global, LLC, AECOM Technical Services, and Parsons-Versar LLC have been awarded task orders ranging from $226,579 to $80,255,528, with performance periods typically spanning 12-36 months. The task orders consistently involve firm fixed-price delivery orders supporting activities like unexploded ordnance (UXO) clearance, environmental response team services, aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) replacement, active range clearance, and toxic cleanup and remediation actions. No small business set-asides were used in these awards, and the primary funding agency is the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, with additional involvement from Navy Facilities Engineering Command.
