- Description
- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)is performing "market research" to determine if any small business contractors can provide "Regulatory, Analytical and Evaluation Support for Radiation Protection Programs." This effort will include the development and implementation of regulations and guidance; the development and support of voluntary partnerships and programs; the evaluation and characterization of radiation sources and their disposition through the environment; the development of guidance and site-specific analyses associated with remediation; the evaluation of innovative technologies, and the provision of reliable public information on issues related to radiation protection. To provide this support, the Contractor shall be familiar with all significant Agency policies/practices and guidance and be able to prepare documents and deliverables that meet "plain English" requirements. The Contractor shall furnish the necessary personnel, materials, equipment, hardware and software, services, and facilities to perform any work as specified in work assignments. The major program areas of this requirement include (1) Radioactive Waste Disposal and Management (e.g., WIPP, Yucca Mountain, TENORM, Low Activity Waste, clean materials, disposal of waste from weapons of mass destruction); (2) Cleanup (e.g., radioactively contaminated sites, federal guidance, technology assessment, risk modeling); (3) Air Toxics [e.g., NESHAPs (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants)]; and (4) related areas (e.g., modeling, risk assessment, risk harmonization, Toxics Release Inventory, radiation information management). A detailed Draft Statement of Work of this requirement can be found on the EPA website at http://www.epa.gov/oam/rtp_cmd. Any offeror interested in this requirement must demonstrate the firm's ability to successfully perform the requirements of the Statement of Work. The firms should focus on such factors as sound technical approach, sound technical results, choice of subcontractors/consultants, attention to detail, presentation format, effective administrative information gathering techniques, and sharing within the management process; and demonstrate the magnitude and breadth of capabilities/experience of the personnel and subcontractor/consultant resources that your company will employ to accomplish work under this requirement. Additionally, interested offerors should demonstrate their capability to ensure deliverable product quality and to plan, develop, implement, manage, and assess the effectiveness of quality control and quality assurance plans and operations. EPA reserves the right to set this action aside for small businesses. The applicable NAICS Code is 541620 with a size standard of $7 million in average annual receipts over the preceding three years. It is anticipated that a cost plus fixed fee/level-of-effort/work assignment type contract will result from the award of this solicitation. The anticipated period of performance is a total of five (5) years, with a base period and four optional periods of 12-months each. The Government anticipates a total level-of-effort of 75,000 direct labor hours consisting of 15,000 labor hours for the base and subsequent periods. In addition, the contract will allow for 37,500 optional labor hours. This will include 7,500 for the base year and each subsequent option period. It is anticipated that this solicitation will be issued on or around 03/25/09 and that proposals will be due approximately 30 days after issuance. This notice will be amended to indicate whether this action will be set-aside for small businesses or be processed under full and open competition. All interested small businesses should furnish statements referencing their capabilities within fifteen (15) days of this notice to the following email address: shands.lanelle@epa.gov.
