This Limited Sources Justification document details a sole-source fixed price contract for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to obtain contractor support for the EPA Region 9 Superfund Program. The contract is awarded to CDM Federal Programs Corporation for remedial investigation and technical support at the former Exide Battery Manufacturing facility in Vernon, California. The task order, issued under GSA Contract GS-00F-085CA, was competitively solicited on GSA e-buy on October 2, 2023, resulting in four quotes received, with the order ultimately awarded to CDM Federal Programs Corporation.

The contract's scope involves continuing support for EPA Region IX's Superfund investigation and cleanup efforts, including pre-scoping activities, technical support, and production of a Remedial Investigation Work Plan. CDM was selected due to their specific site knowledge from a previous task order, having already reviewed technical submittals, evaluated remedial alternatives, and developed comprehensive site data. The justification emphasizes that no other potential contractor possesses the same level of site-specific technical expertise, making CDM the most efficient and cost-effective choice for this ongoing environmental remediation project.
