Environmental Support Services (ESS) Extension

NASA Ames Research Center is seeking comprehensive Environmental Support Services (ESS) through a sole source procurement for contract 80ARC020F0036. The services encompass environmental planning, air quality management, hazardous materials and waste management, groundwater monitoring, water program support, land use controls, and site-wide restoration activities at the Moffett Field, California facility. The agency has identified this as a highly specialized requirement demanding advanced education, training, and extensive experience in environmental management and regulatory compliance. NASA intends to use FAR 6.302-1 authority, determining that the incumbent contractor is the only viable source and that full competition could cause unacceptable delays. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications electronically to Christopher D. Lockridge-Mehetabel by 3:00 PM Pacific Time on August 22, 2025, with the government evaluating submissions solely to determine whether to proceed with competitive procurement.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 541620 for Environmental Consulting Services. The incumbent contractor identified in the procurement is BB&E, Inc., which NASA considers the only source capable of providing these specialized environmental support services without causing program delays. The contract structure includes multiple Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) utilizing both Firm Fixed Price and Time and Materials pricing models. The Performance Work Statement indicates this is an extension of existing environmental support services, suggesting continuity of ongoing environmental management operations at the research center. The procurement covers critical environmental compliance activities including vapor intrusion monitoring, groundwater remediation systems operation, and comprehensive environmental documentation and reporting to federal and state regulatory agencies.
