Small Business Environmental Remediation Services 2022 - 2027

The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Kansas City awarded this Master IDIQ for environmental remediation services on July 22, 2022, with ordering authority through August 7, 2027—leaving approximately one year and three weeks for new task-order awards. The vehicle is fully set aside for small business, with a combined ceiling of $60 million across all task orders. Orders have declined sharply from a front-loaded initial year: 11 orders in 2022 dropped to 2 in 2023, then stabilized at 3 annually in 2024–2026, with the most recent award on April 1, 2026.

Work spans hazardous, toxic, and radioactive waste remediation under the Defense Environmental Restoration Program (DERP), Superfund, BRAC, FUSRAP, Brownfields, and environmental compliance initiatives. Awarded orders include Installation Restoration Program activities on active military installations and Formerly Used Defense Sites, long-term monitoring at Superfund sites (including Combe Fill South in New Jersey and Cornell-Dubilier Electronics), and monitored natural attenuation tasks at sites including Kirksville and Forbes. Performance is concentrated in EPA Region 2 with secondary work in USACE Northwestern Division boundaries.

Of 22 awarded task orders totaling $15.2 million in combined potential value, EA Engineering, Science, and Technology, Inc., PBC and ECC Environmental LLC dominate, holding $8.4 million and $3.6 million respectively—together capturing roughly 80% of the portfolio. Engineering / Remediation Resources Group, Inc. holds the third-largest share at $2.5 million. Orders obligated through the most recent award total $6 million (39% of combined potential value), indicating room for additional work within the ceiling.

The customer base is concentrated: the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Kansas City (the contracting office's parent ordering authority) placed 12 orders worth $2.4 million combined potential value, while EPA Region 2 placed 5 orders worth $9.1 million—demonstrating that EPA drives the highest-value work despite fewer orders. The four distinct customer agencies reflect the vehicle's multi-agency mandate. Task-order ceilings range from $128 thousand to $3.5 million, with durations extending five to six years past award date. Recent orders reflect mixed delivery models: cost-plus-fixed-fee and firm-fixed-price structures are both in use.

This IDIQ will support work assigned to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Northwestern Division and the U.S. 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 (DOD) Environmental Quality Program, Brownfields, Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP), environmental cleanup activities under the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Program, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and other environmental and homeland security laws and regulations requiring support activities for military installations, Corps' 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). It is anticipated that majority of the work will be conducted within EPA Region 2 boundaries with some work in the USACE Northwestern Division boundaries.
