Military Oversight Support Services

The Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) is seeking to establish one or more single-agency contracts for Military Oversight Support Services through a competitive procurement process. The primary objective is to secure contractors with expertise in overseeing investigations and clean-up activities related to military munitions and associated chemical constituents at various military sites, including active Department of Defense facilities, Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS), proving grounds, training ranges, and Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) sites. Contractors will be expected to provide comprehensive environmental hydrogeology and contaminant release cleanup support to ADEQ, with the ability to oversee both federally and privately led investigation and clearance actions. The procurement is authorized under A.R.S. 41-2501 and was posted on March 8, 2024, with proposals due by April 5, 2024. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the opportunity description, contractors will likely need to demonstrate significant technical expertise in environmental assessment, military site remediation, and regulatory compliance.

The solicitation does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations, suggesting the opportunity is open to qualified environmental consulting and technical service firms with relevant military site remediation experience. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the available information. Similarly, no specific budget range or potential contract value is provided in the procurement notice. Interested contractors will need to possess advanced capabilities in environmental investigation techniques, understanding of military munitions contamination, and the ability to provide technical oversight across complex site remediation scenarios. The contract appears designed as a single-agency procurement, indicating ADEQ will be the primary beneficiary of the awarded contract(s), with potential for supporting multiple sites and investigation scenarios across Arizona's military and former military landscapes.
