While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly mentioned in the procurement documents, vendors should be prepared to demonstrate their technical competence and compliance with radiation monitoring protocols. The contract appears to be open to qualified environmental testing and sampling firms with specialized nuclear monitoring capabilities. No incumbent vendor information is provided, and the specific budget range or contract value is not disclosed in the available documentation. The procurement is focused on Kenosha County, Wisconsin, and will specifically support environmental monitoring activities around nuclear power facilities in the Kewaunee and Point Beach areas.
