USACE Europe Hazardous Materials Management 2012-2017

The Department of the Army European Command established a Master IDIQ on April 12, 2012, to provide compliance and hazardous materials and hazardous waste management services across Europe, with ordering closing on April 15, 2017. This vehicle is no longer active; the ordering period expired nine years ago.

The vehicle served primarily U.S. Army installations in Germany, with secondary activity in Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, and AFRICOM locations where EUCOM operates. Task orders funded environmental compliance support, hazardous waste and substance management, environmental baseline surveys, asbestos and radon mitigation, training and awareness programs, invasive species control, and facility-specific remediation projects. Work was performed across multiple sites rather than concentrated at a single location.

Over its five-year ordering window, the Army issued 98 task orders through September 2017, with annual issuance ranging from 9 to 21 orders. Activity was frontloaded: 2013 saw 17 orders, while issuance declined through 2015 before rebounding in 2016 and 2017. The combined potential value of all task orders is $12.4 million, with $11.9 million obligated (96% utilization rate).

Competition was concentrated among five primes. WSP E&Is GMBH dominated with 32 orders and $4.2 million in combined potential value, followed by AECOM International Inc. with 22 orders and $3.3 million, and Tec-Hydrodata Joint Venture with 21 orders and $2.7 million. Ch2M Hill International Services, Inc. and CDM Federal Services Europe Joint Venture each held roughly 10 orders and approximately $1.1 million. The top three primes captured roughly 70% of orders and potential value.

Customer concentration was extreme: the Department of the Army European Command placed 95 of 98 orders (97% by count, 98% by value), with only two orders from the broader Department of the Army and one from Department of the Army Installation Management Command Europe Region. All task orders were unrestricted; no set-aside designations were applied.

Task-order values ranged from under $10 thousand to approximately $450 thousand, with firm fixed pricing. Typical orders fell in the $50 thousand to $250 thousand range. Individual orders were generally one-year periods of performance, often with extension options exercised through modifications.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Europe District has awarded a Master IDIQ to provide Compliance and Hazardous Materials Hazardous Waste Management Services. The locations of services required are primarily within Germany, with work in Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands and AFRICOM. To a much lesser degree work may be performed within other areas where the European Command (EUCOM) operates.
