State regulatory oversight and document review by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality for the NASA WFF FUDS Program

NASA's Shared Services Center has published a sole source Special Notice for state regulatory oversight and document review services by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VDEQ) for the NASA Wallops Flight Facility (WFF) Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS) Program. This procurement is being conducted under FAR Parts 12 and 13 for commercial items and services, classified under NAICS Code 562998 for miscellaneous waste management services. The agency has identified this as a sole source requirement, meaning only VDEQ is eligible to provide these specialized services. The solicitation is managed by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center with performance to occur at that location.

The primary objective of this procurement is to secure VDEQ's expertise for technical review and state regulatory oversight of environmental restoration activities at multiple sites within the WFF FUDS Program, including the Visitor Center/Boat Basin, Skeet Range, Main Base Areas of Interest, Old Wastewater Treatment Plant, and Construction Debris Landfill. Interested organizations must submit their capabilities and qualifications in writing by 8:00 a.m. Central Standard Time on September 5, 2025, though the procurement is structured as sole source to VDEQ. The contract period of performance extends through September 30, 2026, during which VDEQ will review approximately eight documents and participate in four Remedial Project Manager meetings. VDEQ is justified as the sole eligible contractor because it is the only state environmental regulatory agency authorized to perform this service, having received EPA authorization in 1986 to operate Virginia's State Hazardous Waste Program, and failure to secure their services could result in program delays and potential EPA penalties.
