Technical Support and Outreach for the Greenhouse Gas Program

The Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Air and Radiation established a Master IDIQ on August 16, 2019, to procure technical and outreach support services for the Greenhouse Gas Program, but the vehicle's ordering period closed on August 15, 2020, and no new task orders may be issued against it. The vehicle is no longer available for pursuit.

Despite the closed ordering window, the IDIQ remained active through February 2025, with 115 task orders awarded across five prime contractors. Combined potential value reached $197.3 million, with $139.4 million obligated (71% of potential). The portfolio generated significant activity in 2021–2023 (18–23 orders per year) before declining to 16 orders in 2024 and 2 orders through February 2025, indicating wind-down of the vehicle and contractor operations.

Work contracted includes technical analytical support, greenhouse gas data analysis, regulatory and non-regulatory policy support, outreach communication and training, data systems and IT support, GHG inventory development, emissions quantification tools, climate science and impacts analysis, methane reduction program support, and environmental reporting system operations. Task orders span methane emissions gridding, capacity-building for developing-country GHG inventory reporting under the Paris Agreement, Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program support, CAMD (Clean Air Markets Division) operations, stratospheric protection division tracking and reporting, and climate change indicators and website maintenance.

Research Triangle Institute and Eastern Research Group Inc. dominate by potential value, holding $71.2 million and $41.8 million combined, respectively. Science Applications International Corporation ($33.6 million), ICF Incorporated, L.L.C. ($29.9 million), and ABT Global LLC ($20.8 million) round out the field. The EPA's Office for Air and Radiation funded 114 of 115 orders ($195.8 million potential), with one order ($1.5 million) to the Office of Administration and Resource Management. All 115 task orders were issued without set-aside designation. Typical task orders range from approximately $80,000 to $2.5 million in ceiling value, with pricing structures split between time-and-materials and firm-fixed-price. The vehicle supported work performed primarily in Washington, D.C., and at EPA facilities nationwide.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s Climate Change Division (CCD) has a requirement to provide technical and outreach support services for Climate Change Programs. The CCD is charged with assessing and addressing global climate change, climate policies, and the associated risks to human health and the environment. This procurement will provide CCD with support to develop versatile capabilities and tools that can be used to support multiple initiatives and programs. Specifically, technical analytical support, GHG data and analysis, regulatory and non-regulatory policies and programs, outreach communication and training support, data systems and IT support.
