USACE NW & EPA R2 Remediation Services

The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Kansas City established this Master IDIQ for hazardous, toxic, and radioactive waste remediation services on February 10, 2016, with a combined ceiling of $176.25 million and ordering authority through February 9, 2021. Ordering has been closed for over five years; this vehicle is no longer accepting new task orders.

The vehicle supported remediation work across multiple federal environmental programs, including the Defense Environmental Restoration Program (DERP), Superfund, Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC), Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP), and activities for the Department of Homeland Security and Federal Emergency Management Agency. Work encompassed both remedial action and long-term monitoring at contaminated sites on military installations, Corps civil works projects, and civilian federal properties.

Forty-five task orders have been awarded under the vehicle. The portfolio achieved $272.3 million in combined potential value with $245.2 million obligated (90% of potential). Activity peaked in 2018 with 13 orders; recent awards have slowed to one order in 2023. The most recent task order, issued June 2, 2023, is for Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Building 280 demolition support, with a ceiling of $15.6 million and ultimate completion in September 2026.

Competition concentrated among a small set of primes. Hydrogeologic, Inc. leads by potential value with six orders totaling $76.2 million. Sevenson Environmental Services, Inc. follows with seven orders valued at $54.9 million. EA Engineering, Science, and Technology, Inc., PBC holds nine orders worth $37.6 million. These three firms and two others (Aptim Federal Services, LLC and Cape Environmental Management Inc.) capture 89% of combined potential value. Thirteen distinct primes total.

The Environmental Protection Agency Region 2 placed 13 orders valued at $98.4 million, representing the largest customer base. The Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Kansas City issued 20 orders at $21.4 million combined. The EPA Region 8, Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management, and Army Corps of Engineers (other commands) account for the remainder of customer concentration.

Set-asides remained predominantly unrestricted: 38 orders (84%) carried no set-aside designation, with 7 orders (16%) designated Total Small Business. Task orders ranged from minimum guarantees of $2,500 to the LLNL order at $15.6 million ceiling. Most executed work used Cost Plus Fixed Fee or Firm Fixed Price pricing. Performance locations included active military installations (Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri; Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington), Superfund sites across EPA Regions 2 and 8, and former defense sites nationwide.

This Pre-placed Remedial Action Contract (PRAC) supports work assigned to the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Northwestern Division and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 2 for hazardous, toxic and radioactive waste (HTRW) remediation projects for both civilian and military agencies. Includes service and construction activities mandated by the Defense Environmental Restoration Program (DERP), Superfund, environmental compliance and pollution prevention projects under the 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 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).
