Environmental Systems Protection- Oil Spill Response

PSC Category F112 focuses on environmental systems protection, specifically oil spill response and related services. This category encompasses contracts and opportunities for mitigating environmental hazards, particularly those involving oil and hazardous chemical incidents. The services include emergency response, cleanup, equipment deployment, remediation, monitoring, and testing of environmental protection systems and technologies.

The federal contract awards under this PSC category predominantly involve time and materials and firm fixed-price delivery orders issued by agencies like the U.S. Coast Guard and the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement. Contract values range from approximately $1,400 to $250,000, with performance periods typically spanning three to twelve months. Frequently awarded entities include Moran Environmental Recovery, Applied Research Associates, NRC Environmental Services, Hull's Environmental Services, and Enhanced Environmental & Emergency Services. Most contracts are not set aside and are awarded on an unrestricted basis, with work primarily performed along coastal regions including California, Florida, and the Pacific Northwest.

The federal contract opportunities in this category include solicitations for environmental remediation, compliance, and facility maintenance services. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy has posted multiple pre-solicitations and special notices for environmental services at various Defense Fuel Support Points in California, including locations in Norwalk, San Pedro, and Ozol. These opportunities seek small businesses to provide long-term environmental monitoring, remediation system operations, and emergency response services. The Maritime Administration (MARAD) has also issued a solicitation seeking a Spill Management Team to manage clean-up activities for potential oil spills from MARAD-owned vessels, with a contract structure that includes planning, training, and responsive capabilities.
