Technical support and regulatory oversight of WFF

Added: Jul 10, 2015 12:26 pm NASA/GSFC WFF has a requirement for technical support and state regulatory oversight from the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VDEQ).

NASA/GSFC intends to purchase this support as required per the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), 7003 Administrative Agreement on Consent (AAOC), to provide assistance commencing at site identification and continuing through remediation, and other activities that may be funded under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and pursuant to the AAOC. The VDEQ is the only responsible source for these services. On March 6, 1986 EPA granted the Commonwealth of Virginia authorization to operate the State Hazardous Waste Program in lieu of pursuing a federal program and since that time EPA has re-authorized revisions to the Virginia Hazardous Waste Program. Therefore, only the Commonwealth has oversight and enforcement responsibility for the Environmental Restoration Program work in matters that impact the Commonwealth. VDEQ is the only entity mandated to conduct that oversight for the Commonwealth.

The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12.

Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact no later than 4:00 PM local time on July 27, 2015. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed effort on a full and open competition basis, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government.

Oral communications are not acceptable in response to this notice.

All responsible sources may submit an offer which shall be considered by the agency.

NASA Clause 1852.215-84, Ombudsman, is applicable. The Center Ombudsman for this acquisition can be found at http://prod.nais.gov/pub/pub_library /Omb.html .
