An award will be made under NAICS Code 562910 the Small Business size standard for this NAICS Code is 500 employees. GSA FSS 899-8 - Environmental Services, Remediation and Reclamation Services is defined as follows: Remediation services include, but are not limited to: Excavation, removal and disposal of hazardous waste; Site preparation, characterization, field investigation, conservation and closures; Wetland restoration; Emergency response clean up (ERC); Underground storage tank/above-ground storage tank (UST/AST) removal; Air monitoring; Soil vapor extraction; Stabilization/solidification, bio-venting, carbon absorption, reactive walls, containment, monitoring and/or reduction of hazardous waste sites, as well as unexploded ordnance removal; Remediation-related laboratory testing (e.g., biological, chemical, physical, pollution and soil testing).

Due to the nature of the remediation and reclamation services required by AFCEC, San Antonio, it is likely that orders issued under this GSA TO will require items that are not on the FSS (also referred to as open market items (OMIs) or other direct costs). This is allowed since Contracting Officers will follow the procedures at FAR 8.402(f).
