Prospective consultants must demonstrate expertise in environmental health and safety assessments, regulatory compliance, and strategic program development for large-scale utility service providers.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided information, the procurement appears to be open to qualified environmental health and safety consulting firms with demonstrated experience in utility sector assessments. The contract scope suggests a need for consultants with advanced capabilities in developing comprehensive EHS program evaluations and implementation strategies. The project's focus on a critical public infrastructure provider like WSSC implies a potentially significant contract value, though exact budget ranges are not specified.
