The North American industry Classification System (NAICS) code is the procurement 541330, and the annual size standard is $25,500,000. NAVFAC EXWC anticipates the award of an IDIQ with base ordering period of sixty (60) months, and an extension of services period not to exceed six months. The maximum value of all task order placed under this contract will not exceed $150,000,000. Individual task orders under this contract may be firm fixed price (FFP) (Estimated 40%) or cost-plus-fixed fee (CPFF) (Estimated 60%). The minimum guarantee for the IDIQ contract is $10,000. Individual task orders are anticipated to range $5,000 to $6,000,000 per task order. The estimated award date is March 2027. PROJECT INFORMATION: Firms must be capable of performing work on a wide variety of projects in Environmental Restoration (ER) and other environmental topics, in a manner that complies with federal, state, and local regulations and laws, and within timeframes required. This work will support the A-E services that NAVFAC EXWC provides to support the environmental cleanup of sites managed by the Department of the Navy and other federal agencies. Although, the majority of the work is expected to be in the continental United States, project sites could be worldwide. Specific needs will be determined based upon project requirements and as described in each task order’s Performance Work Statement or Statement of Work. A-E services required under this contract include, but are not limited to: - Environmental program development and implementation. Particularly, the contractor will support development and implementation of the Navy’s environmental restoration (ER) program, comprising the Installation Restoration (IR) and Munitions Response (MR) Programs in terms of the associated science and engineering, regulations, and policy - Research, development, testing, and evaluation (RDT&E) of innovative environmental technologies, techniques, and solutions, particularly for environmental restoration. - Planning and pilot-testing innovative environmental technologies, techniques, investigations, and solutions to support full-scale design. - Services for associated environmental programs, including remedy resilience, impacts of elevated sea water levels and extreme weather events, active range sustainability, sustainable water resources management, environmental compliance, energy efficiency, and natural resources management. The services at ER sites may involve supporting NAVFAC EXWC in the preparation, expert review, or optimization of preliminary assessments, site inspections, remedial investigations, feasibility studies, engineering evaluation/analysis (EECA), proposed plans, records of decision (RODs), remedial designs, sampling and analysis plans (SAPs) or Quality Assurance Project Plans (QAPPs), and five-year reviews for customers in the Department of the Navy and other federal agencies.
