The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS: https://www.naics.com/search/) code for this procurement is 541620 - Environmental Consulting Services.
 

The Government is considering issuing a Request for Proposal around March 2025 with the ordering period starting no earlier than July 2025. The solicitation would use procedures of FAR 15, 16.5, and other regulations and supplements.

SATOC DESCRIPTION

The SATOC’s scope would include a wide variety of programmatic support and land management consulting services in support of the USAREUR-AF Integrated Training Area Management (ITAM) Program and other U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) agencies with operations within the USAREUR-AF area of responsibility (AOR) – see attached draft scope.

The ITAM Program provides land management services in support of the U.S. Army training mission throughout Europe and Africa.  The U.S. Army recognizes that the execution of military training under realistic combat conditions will affect the environment. Consequently, ITAM’s mission is to maintain or enhance military training lands to meet the doctrinal training requirements of the U.S. Army while also maintaining compliance with Host Nation laws and regulations and is an essential part of the U.S. Army’s commitment to performing sound environmental stewardship across Europe and Africa.

The ITAM program consists of five major elements, including: (1) Training Requirements Integration (TRI), (2) Land Rehabilitation and Maintenance (LRAM), (3) Sustainable Range Awareness (SRA), (4) Range and Training Land Assessment (RTLA), and (5) Geographic Information Systems (GIS).  The resulting SATOC will primarily focus on supporting the ITAM Program by providing support services for TRI, SRA, and land management consulting services with the intent of enhancing the land management capabilities of ITAM and supporting the U.S. Army’s military training mission throughout Europe and Africa.
