About this vehicle
The Environmental Protection Agency Office of Research and Development established a Master IDIQ in September 2016 for scientific, technical, research, engineering, and modeling support to prevent or reduce pollution and restore ecosystems; ordering closed on August 30, 2021, and the vehicle is no longer active.
The STREAMS III vehicle succeeded STREAMS II (awarded September 2011) and distributed a $55 million shared ceiling across 68 task orders totaling $54.7 million in combined potential value, with $31.4 million obligated as of the portfolio's most recent snapshot. Ordering activity peaked in 2020 with 24 awards, declining sharply to a single order in 2021 before closure. The most recent task order was awarded in February 2021.
Work spans applied research and technical services supporting ORD and other EPA organizations. Representative task orders fund field, analytical, and technical support for contaminated-site research ($14.5 million potential); technical support for the Site Characterization and Monitoring Technical Support Center ($4.8 million potential); assistance to the Ground Water Technical Support Center and Center for Subsurface Modeling Support ($3.2 million potential); life-cycle assessment data management ($3.8 million potential); and equipment and methods for biological, radiological, and chemical incident response—including decontamination approaches, sampling protocols, and waste management tools. Task orders ranged from under $25,000 to approximately $2.5 million in ceiling value and employed cost-plus-fixed-fee and firm-fixed-price structures with completion dates through mid-2024.
Three firms dominated the competitive landscape: Battelle Memorial Institute captured 28 orders and $30.9 million in combined potential value (57% of vehicle total); Eastern Research Group Inc. held 21 orders and $15.4 million (28%); and Research Triangle Institute won 19 orders and $8.4 million (15%). All 68 task orders were unrestricted competitive awards, with single-agency funding from the EPA Office of Research and Development.
The vehicle is closed and represents historical activity only; no new orders may be issued against it.
Description
The EPA has awarded a Master IDIQ for the development and evaluation of technologies, processes, and tools to prevent or reduce pollution of air, land, and water, and to restore ecosystems. These contracts may support all ORD laboratories, centers, and offices and other USEPA organizations, such as Regional and Program Offices that conduct research projects that could be supported under the scope of the STREAMS III Performance Work Statement (PWS).
