Region 4 - 6 Emergency and Rapid Response Services (ERRS V)

The Region 4 - 6 Emergency and Rapid Response Services V (ERRS V) is a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to provide comprehensive environmental emergency response and remediation services across EPA Regions 4, 5, and 6. The contract supports critical environmental cleanup activities, including emergency response to hazardous substance releases, site assessments, contamination removal, and remediation of various environmental incidents such as chemical spills, mercury contamination, fire-related pollution, and abandoned waste sites. Originating from a solicitation with the NAICS code 562910, the contract was competitively awarded to multiple small businesses to support rapid environmental response capabilities.

The task orders under this IDIQ consistently demonstrate a focus on time-critical environmental remediation across several states, with contract values ranging from $25,000 to over $39 million. Three primary prime contractors consistently win task orders: Environmental Restoration LLC, Environmental Quality Management, Inc. (EQM), and C M C, Inc. The majority of task orders are time and materials contracts with durations typically spanning 6-18 months, primarily serving EPA Regions 4, 5, and 6, with performance locations including Georgia, Michigan, Illinois, North Carolina, and Texas. While the original solicitation indicated a total small business set-aside, none of the individual task orders utilized specific set-aside designations. The contracts address a wide range of environmental challenges, including mercury spills, abandoned drums, chemical contamination, warehouse fires, and Superfund site remediation, reflecting the critical environmental emergency response needs across these regions.
