Environmental Systems Protection- Environmental Licensing And Permitting

PSC Category F114 encompasses environmental systems protection and environmental licensing and permitting services. These services involve obtaining, managing, and maintaining various environmental permits, conducting environmental impact assessments, and ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal environmental regulations. The category covers a wide range of activities including water quality monitoring, air quality permitting, wetland assessments, waste disposal management, and environmental consulting for government agencies and infrastructure projects.

Federal contract awards under this PSC code primarily involve federal agencies such as the Bureau of Reclamation, U.S. Geological Survey, Department of Veterans Affairs, and Department of Defense obtaining environmental permits and services. Most awards are firm fixed-price purchase orders or delivery orders ranging from $5,000 to $1,000,000, with performance periods typically spanning several months to five years. Frequently awarded entities include state environmental quality departments (Arizona, California), environmental consulting firms like Scout Environmental and Heritage Environmental Services, and tribal government agencies. Awards predominantly do not utilize set-aside designations, though some small business and service-disabled veteran-owned business classifications appear. Common performance locations include western states like California, Arizona, Hawaii, and Montana.

Recent federal contract opportunities in this category focus on environmental monitoring, permitting, and compliance services. The most notable opportunity is the Bureau of Reclamation's solicitation for annual environmental permit fees from the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality for fiscal years 2025-2029. Another opportunity involves environmental monitoring for the St. Mary Siphon Replacement Project by the Blackfeet Tribe, analyzing environmental impacts and issuing a specific tribal ordinance permit. The Department of Air Force also posted a special notice regarding a potential 25-year lease of land used for industrial waste treatment, indicating ongoing environmental management and permitting requirements across various federal agencies.
