Shared Ceiling $50M

The Scientific, Technical, Research, Engineering, and Modeling Support (STREAMS) Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract was awarded by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to support research and technical activities across EPA's Office of Research and Development (ORD) and other agency offices. The contract's primary objective is to develop and evaluate technologies, processes, and tools aimed at preventing or reducing pollution of air, land, and water, and to support ecosystem restoration efforts. Task orders under this vehicle cover a wide range of scientific and technical research activities, including environmental assessments, technological innovations, methodology validation, and collaborative international research initiatives.

The task orders under this STREAMS contract demonstrate significant variability in scope and value, typically ranging from approximately $10,000 to over $1.4 million, with most task orders completed within 12-24 months. Common areas of focus include environmental sampling methodology development, technological evaluations for pollution mitigation, international bilateral research collaborations (particularly with Germany), and scientific assessments across various environmental matrices such as water, soil, and air. All task orders were issued as cost-plus fixed fee contracts and were not set aside for any specific small business category. The contract appears to have supported multiple prime contractors, with task orders distributed across different contract numbers (EPC05057, EPC05058, EPC05059, EPC05060, and EPC05061), indicating a distributed approach to executing research and technical support for the EPA.
