AI Contract Overview

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued a notification to current and prospective contractors regarding the impact of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which mandates significant across-the-board budget cuts known as sequestration. These mandated financial reductions, effective from March 1, 2013, have led the EPA to implement measures aimed at mitigating their impact, but contractors should anticipate adjustments to contracts as a consequence. Potential actions include the agency opting not to exercise contract options, negotiating lower prices or revised terms with contractors, suspending or stopping work temporarily, reducing the scope of work, or even partially or fully terminating some contracts for the government's convenience. Additionally, upcoming contract actions may be rescoped, delayed, or canceled, depending on how critical the work is to the agency's mission. The EPA is undertaking a thorough review of both existing and pending contracts to determine the specific impacts and will communicate directly with contractors affected by these budget constraints. Contracting officers will handle notifications concerning ongoing or in-process contract actions, ensuring that both current and prospective contractors are informed accordingly. The agency expresses appreciation for the cooperation and partnership of its contractors as it navigates these challenging fiscal adjustments. Contact information for inquiries is provided, with the point of contact being Lisa Maass at the Headquarters Acquisition Division in Washington, D.C.

Full Description

NOTICE TO CURRENT AND PROSPECTIVE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA) CONTRACTORS As you know, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 mandates across-the-board spending cuts (known as sequestration) be ordered on March 1, 2013. As required by the law, the President issued a sequestration order canceling billions in budgetary resources across the Federal government for the remainder of the Federal fiscal year. At this time, the Agency is taking every step practicable to mitigate the effects of these cuts. However, but based on the magnitude of these mandated cuts, there will be impacts on current contract awards as well as current and future planned acquisitions. For example, the Agency may decide not to exercise options or may need to negotiate lower prices or other terms via bilateral modifications to meet the constraints imposed by the sequestration. The Agency may also determine it necessary to stop or suspend work, reduce the scope of work, or partially or completely terminate existing contracts for the government's convenience. Additionally, planned contract actions for new work may be rescoped, delayed, or canceled depending on the nature of the work and the degree to which it directly supports the Agency's critical mission needs and goals. The Agency is conducting a detailed analysis of current and pending contract actions that may be impacted. Existing contractors that will be impacted will be contacted directly by the cognizant Contracting Officer. The cognizant Contracting Officer for actions that are in process but not awarded will provide appropriate notifications to prospective and current offerors. Thank you for your continued partnership with the EPA, and for your cooperation as we work together to manage the impacts resulting from the sequestration.
