Operations Support Services for EPA-Cincinnati Test and Evaluation Facility and Other NRMRL Facilities

The U.S. EPA’s National Risk Management Research Laboratory (NRMRL) seeks contracting services to provide research support, facility operations, and other assistance at its Test and Evaluation (T&E) Facility in Cincinnati, Ohio, as well as at other NRMRL Cincinnati satellite facilities, including locations in Cincinnati and Milford, Ohio. The contract encompasses a broad range of environmental research activities focused on water monitoring, contaminant detection, water infrastructure decontamination, treatment technologies, watershed management, climate change impacts, hazardous waste treatment, and related areas. The T&E Facility operates under a State of Ohio EPA Director's Exemption as a Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facility, allowing it to manage diverse hazardous wastes using various processes. The contractor’s role includes supporting ongoing research projects across multiple sites such as the Center Hill facility, the Experimental Streams Research Facility, and a laboratory annex to the Andrew W. Breidenbach Environmental Research Center. The solicitation anticipates the award of a cost-plus-fixed-fee, term, Level of Effort (LOE) contract with an initial 12-month base period of nearly 8,000 hours and multiple option periods that collectively could total over 628,000 hours during a five-year span. Given the nature of the work, there is significant potential for organizational conflicts of interest, requiring offerors to submit a Conflict of Interest (COI) plan explaining how such issues will be managed or mitigated. The contract falls under NAICS code 541712, has a size standard of 500 employees, and will be competed on a full and open basis—not restricted to small businesses. The solicitation is expected to be released in late November with a roughly 30-day submission window, and award will be conducted in accordance with FAR Part 15 negotiations. The incumbent contractor is Shaw, with the existing contract expiring in May 2009.

Z -- Extention of EPA Cincinnati On-site Operations and Maintenance Services

The U.S. EPA’s Office of Administration and Resources Management, Facilities Management Division, plans to extend the existing contract with DCT, Inc. on a sole source basis for an additional one-month period, plus a one-month option, to continue providing on-site operations and maintenance services at the EPA Cincinnati facilities. This extension is necessary to maintain uninterrupted facility support services, including routine maintenance, emergency repairs, building alterations, computer-assisted drafting, and engineering documentation, while awaiting the award of a follow-on contract expected by January 2008. Secondary tasks like fire alarm maintenance, snow removal, pest control, waste removal, and engraving services are also included. DCT, Inc. is considered uniquely qualified for this extension due to its operational expertise, familiarity with the EPA-Cincinnati facilities, and ongoing projects, as well as its presence on-site, which ensures responsiveness to urgent service needs. A competitive procurement at this stage would lead to unnecessary duplication of costs without commensurate benefits. Although this notice signals the intent to award without competition, other firms with the capability to meet the requirements may submit technical documentation within 15 days. The procurement action aligns with FAR Part 15 regulations, with the NAICS code 561210, and award is anticipated for mid-November 2007. The contracting officers overseeing this action are accessible for inquiries via provided contact details.

B--Development of Statistically Based Quantitative Structure-Toxicity Relationship (QSTR) Models for Predicting Acute and Sub-Acute Toxicity Benchmarks for a Variety of Chemicals

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's National Homeland Security Research Center is seeking a contractor to develop predictive models that estimate the acute and sub-acute toxicity of various chemicals. These models will be based on experimental toxicity benchmark data such as LD50, LOAEL, BMD, or BMDL10, and will employ Quantitative Structure-Toxicity Relationships (QSTRs) for both oral and inhalation exposure routes. The contractor is required to create distinct QSTR models for each benchmark and route of exposure. The contract, titled "Development of Statistically Based Quantitative Structure-Toxicity Relationship (QSTR) Models for Predicting Acute and Sub-Acute Toxicity Benchmarks for a Variety of Chemicals," was posted as a presolicitation in July 2005 by the Environmental Protection Agency's Cincinnati Acquisition Division. The work emphasizes the use of statistically driven modeling approaches to improve toxicity prediction, supporting the EPA's mission to assess chemical hazards effectively. The place of performance is unspecified, and the contract does not indicate any set-aside provisions.

R--Development of Statistically Based Quantitative Structure-Toxicity Relationship (QSTR) Models for Predicting the Sub-Chronic Toxicity Benchmarks for a Variety of Chemicals

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's National Homeland Security Research Center is seeking a contractor to develop predictive models that estimate sub-chronic toxicity benchmarks for various chemicals. These models will be based on experimental sub-chronic toxicity data such as LOAEL, BMD, or BMDL10, and will utilize Quantitative Structure-Toxicity Relationships (QSTRs) to assess toxicity through both oral and inhalation exposure routes. The contract requires the creation of separate QSTR models tailored to each toxicity benchmark and route of exposure. The solicitation, issued by the Cincinnati Acquisition Division of the EPA, aims to support the development of statistically based QSTR models to improve the prediction of chemical toxicity. This initiative is central to enhancing risk assessment capabilities by providing more reliable toxicity estimates for chemicals under different exposure conditions. The contract was posted as a presolicitation in July 2005 and does not indicate any set-aside status or specific NAICS code. The work is managed by an EPA office based in Cincinnati, Ohio.
