OSC Environmental Due Diligence Services

The Department of Defense's Washington Headquarters Services (WHS) Acquisition Directorate is conducting market research on behalf of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense Research and Engineering's Office of Strategic Capital (OSC) to identify potential vendors for Environmental Due Diligence Services. The Sources Sought Notice seeks to assess the availability and capabilities of firms that can provide comprehensive environmental support services, including environmental assessments, risk analysis, regulatory compliance, and mitigation strategy development. Interested vendors are required to submit a capabilities statement demonstrating their technical expertise and experience in environmental due diligence. The market research is designed to inform a future solicitation for an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, with interested firms required to email their submissions to whs.ncr.ad.mbx.dsca-group@mail.mil by April 2, 2025. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed, the government will likely assess vendors' technical capabilities, past performance, and ability to meet the complex environmental services requirements outlined in the Draft Performance Work Statement.

The procurement is not set aside for any specific business category, indicating it will be open to a broad range of potential contractors. The contract is estimated to have a five-year ordering period with a total value ranging between $35 million and $75 million, suggesting significant scope for environmental due diligence services. This is a new requirement with no prior acquisition history, which means no incumbent contractors are currently identified. The services will be categorized under NAICS code 541990 for All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services, reflecting the specialized nature of the environmental consulting work. The Draft Performance Work Statement indicates the contractor will be responsible for comprehensive tasks including environmental modeling, risk analysis, regulatory compliance, stakeholder engagement, and providing technical and legal guidance throughout project lifecycles. Potential contractors should carefully review the detailed requirements in the Draft PWS to understand the full breadth of services the Department of Defense expects to procure.
