99--ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION AT THE SANTA SUSANA FIELD LABORATORY VENTURA COUNTY CA

NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center plans to award a sole source contract to The Boeing Company for the continued environmental remediation efforts at the Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL) in Ventura County, California. The contract is issued under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, allowing direct negotiation without competition. The SSFL site spans approximately 2,850 acres of rugged terrain and is divided into four administrative areas, with NASA owning and managing all of Area II (about 410 acres) and a portion of Area I (42 acres). The remediation work is governed by a Consent Order involving multiple stakeholders, including California’s Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), the Department of Energy (DOE), Boeing, and NASA, with oversight by DTSC. This ensures compliance with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Corrective Action Program. The primary goal of the contract is to implement corrective actions that protect human health and the environment by managing contaminated soil and other environmental issues according to the RCRA corrective process. This contract addresses ongoing efforts essential to the cleanup and safe management of legacy contamination at SSFL. The awarded contract will support structured remediation activities governed by federal and state regulations, with Boeing continuing its role in executing these complex environmental stewardship tasks at the site.
