The Air National Guard is initiating the Guaranteed Remediation and Accelerated Solutions Program (GRASP) to enhance site investigation and cleanup efforts with established endpoints, aiming to increase cost efficiency and streamline processes for potential Department of Defense-wide application. An Industry Day and Preproposal Conference are scheduled for February 13, 2002, at the Colony South Hotel and Conference Center in Clinton, Maryland, allowing prospective offerors and interested parties to provide input on the proposed procurement. Following this event, formal procurement notices including contract details such as quantity, types, and estimated dollar value will be released. Identified project sites include locations in Mansfield, Ohio; Duluth, Minnesota; Gabreski, New York; Richmond, Virginia; and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The program focuses on accelerating environmental remediation efforts while evaluating cost savings for the Air National Guard and the Air Force.
