- This is a SOURCES SOUGHT NOTICE FOR MARKET RESEARCH PURPOSES ONLY to determine the availability of potential small business firms for a possible small business category type set-aside. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 4 office, Atlanta, GA is conducting a sources sought for informational purposes only, to determine whether small socioeconomic business capabilities exist to support this requirement. This requirement is for the follow-on Regional Oversight Contract (ROC) in Region 4. The region office encompasses the following states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS. No solicitation is available at this time; therefore, DO NOT request a copy of a solicitation. This notice is applicable to North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 562910, Environmental Remediation Services, with a small business size standard of 500 employees. A draft of the Performance Work Statement (PWS) will be posted on the SRRPOD website: http://www.epa.gov/oam/srpod/index.htm#solam. Particularly, the purpose of this notice is to gain knowledge of potential small business sources in the following categories: Certified 8(a) and Certified HUBZone. If it is determined that there are not enough firms in the category of certified 8 (a) and HUBZone to ensure adequate competition, this procurement will be set-aside for small business classification(s): (Small Business, 8(a), HUBZone, SDB, SDVOSB, WOSB, VOSB, etc.). The capabilities will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining if the small business community can perform the services of this requirement. The Government must ensure there is adequate competition among the potential pool of available contractors.

To a much lesser extent, the ROCs may also be used to provide similar technical support to EPA at non-Federal potentially responsible party (PRP)-lead sites. The major tasks include: technical review of documents, meeting support, field activities, data review and other technical support, such as CERCLA site assessment support, remedial investigation/feasibility study (RIFS) support and Post-Record of Decision (ROD) activities.
