USACE Pre-placed Remedial Action Contract (PRAC)

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Pre-placed Remedial Action Contract (PRAC) is a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle designed to support hazardous, toxic, and radioactive waste (HTRW) remediation projects across civilian and military federal agencies. The contract specifically supports remediation efforts in the USACE Northwestern, Southwestern, and South Pacific Divisions. This master contract enables rapid environmental cleanup and restoration services at contaminated sites, allowing federal agencies to quickly engage qualified contractors for complex environmental remediation tasks.

The task orders under this PRAC consistently involve large-scale Superfund site remediation projects, with contract values ranging from $16 million to $38 million and typical durations between 2-5 years. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) appears to be the most frequent funding agency, issuing task orders across multiple regions including Regions 2 and 8. Prime contractors such as URS Group (AECOM), Tetra Tech EC, Conti Federal Services, and Aptim Federal Services have been awarded significant task orders, demonstrating the vehicle's focus on experienced environmental engineering and remediation firms. All observed task orders utilized unrestricted competition with no small business set-asides, and project locations have included sites in Washington, New York, Colorado, South Dakota, and New Jersey. The remediation work typically involves complex environmental restoration techniques including groundwater treatment, in-situ thermal remediation, water treatment, and cultural resource management.
