NASA Environmental Restoration and Compliance Contract (NERC)

The NASA Environmental Restoration and Compliance Contract (NERCC) is a multiple-award indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract with a $375 million shared ceiling, designed to provide comprehensive environmental restoration, assessment, and compliance services across NASA facilities. The contract encompasses a wide range of technical services including environmental assessments, remediation, sampling, risk analysis, regulatory compliance, and technical consultation. Services cover diverse environmental challenges such as investigating and treating contaminants like chlorinated solvents, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), petroleum hydrocarbons, and other pollutants across various environmental media including groundwater, soil, air, and surface water.

Recent task orders under this vehicle demonstrate a consistent focus on site-specific environmental restoration and compliance work at multiple NASA centers, with contract values ranging from approximately $193,000 to $3 million. Tetra Tech, Inc. has been a frequent prime contractor, winning multiple task orders for services at facilities including Kennedy Space Center, Goddard Space Flight Center, Johnson Space Center, and Langley Research Center. The task orders typically involve per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) assessment, groundwater modeling, site investigations, and environmental program support, with performance periods generally spanning 12-36 months. These delivery orders are consistently awarded as firm fixed-price contracts without small business set-aside designations, indicating open competition among large environmental consulting and engineering firms. The work primarily supports civilian NASA facilities across various geographic locations, with a strong emphasis on comprehensive environmental remediation and regulatory compliance services.
