MEGA Small Business PRAC 2021 - 2026

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Kansas City established this Master IDIQ for environmental remediation services supporting the Corps' Northwestern Division and EPA Region 2 on October 28, 2021, with a combined potential value of $176.25 million and ordering authority expiring October 27, 2026—just over three months remaining.

The vehicle is fully set-aside for small businesses and covers hazardous, toxic, and radioactive waste remediation under the Defense Environmental Restoration Program, Superfund, BRAC, FUSRAP, and related environmental compliance statutes across military installations and federal civil works projects. Performance locations span EPA Region 2 and subordinate Army installations. Scope includes excavation and disposal of hazardous waste, groundwater treatment, in situ technologies, utility replacement, and supporting activities such as sampling and well installation.

Twenty task orders have been issued, of which 20 are closed or active. The portfolio has obligated $107.7 million (97% of combined potential value). Award activity peaked in 2021 with twelve orders, then declined sharply: one in 2022, two in 2023, two in 2024, and three in 2025, with the most recent award in August 2025. All awarded orders use cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing except for minimum guarantees, which are firm fixed price.

ECC Environmental LLC dominates with four orders totaling $44.2 million in potential value, followed by Sevenson Environmental Services, Inc. with two orders worth $28.7 million, and Cape Environmental Management Inc. with three orders worth $17.4 million. These three firms account for the majority of the portfolio; seven other primes hold smaller positions.

EPA Region 2 places the plurality of orders by value ($59.3 million across four orders), while the contracting office itself (Engineering District Kansas City) has issued twelve orders but at minimal value ($18 thousand combined), primarily minimum guarantees. Recent large awards include a $14.97 million Kaufman and Minteer Superfund remedial action (February 2025), a $9.95 million Mansfield Superfund site order (June 2025), and a $7.44 million Bradford Island order (August 2025).

The set-aside mix shows 75% of orders without set-aside designation and 25% fully set-aside to small businesses. Task orders range from minimum-guarantee floor values to ceiling values exceeding $28 million, with most active orders carrying performance periods extending into 2027–2030.

This Pre-placed Remedial Action Contract (PRAC) will support work assigned to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Northwestern Division and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 2, for hazardous, toxic and radioactive waste (HTRW) remediation projects for both civilian and military agencies of the Federal Government. This contract for environmental response actions will include service and construction activities mandated by the Defense Environmental Restoration Program (DERP), Superfund, environmental compliance and pollution prevention projects under the Department of Defense Environmental Quality Program, Brownfields, Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP), environmental cleanup activities under the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Program, Department of Energy, Veterans Administration, Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and other environmental and homeland security laws and regulations requiring support activities for military installations, USACE's civil works projects, and work for other federal agencies. The DERP projects will include Installation Restoration Program (IRP) activities on active Army and Air Force installations and on Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS).
