The START contractor is responsible for duties within Region 8, as well as outside the region on cross regional responses, national responses, and trans-boundary international responses. Additionally, the contractor provides advisory and assistance services to other programs, such as site assessment, brownfields, and remedial support activities. For each assigned task, the contractor is required to provide appropriately experienced, trained and accredited personnel with current credentials/certifications as well as the supplies, materials, tools and equipment necessary to complete the job. These support services are currently being provided under the R8 START-3 contract by URS Operating Services, INC. The contract has a maximum potential period of performance of 7 years, with an expiration date of 11/05/2012. EPA is anticipating soliciting and awarding the START IV contract as an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (ID/IQ) contract with a three-year base period with two (2) two-year option periods, for a total of seven (7) years. The purpose of the follow-on procurement will be to obtain the services of fully-trained contractor personnel to provide technical support services to EPA for emergency responses, site assessment activities, removal actions, prevention and preparedness activities, and technical support activities as defined by the contract PWS. These services will be in conformance with the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (40 CFR 300); Section 311 of the Clean Water Act, as amended by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990; Section 104 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986; other Applicable Relevant and Appropriate Requirements (ARARs); and Federal, state and local statutes and regulations.

NAICS: 562910. Synopsis: THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) FOR PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY. THIS REQUEST IS NOT A SOLICITATION. PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT A PROPOSAL. This RFI is being issued for the purpose of developing a viable solicitation that will best communicate the Government's requirements to industry. Response to this RFI is strictly voluntary and will not affect any Contractor's ability to submit an offer if, or when, a solicitation is released. However, we highly encourage you to reply. The subject RFI is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a commitment, implied or otherwise, that a procurement action will be issued. There is no entitlement to payment by the Government of direct or indirect costs or charges that arise as a result of the submission of information in response to this RFI or attendance at the site visit. The Government shall not be liable for or suffer any consequential damages for any improperly identified proprietary information. Proprietary information will be safeguarded in accordance with the applicable Government regulations. Respondents of this RFI may be requested to provide additional information / details based on their initial submittals. The Government reserves the right to select, one, some, or none of the submissions for further investigation. Contractors who submit information in response to this RFI do so with the understanding that U.S. Government personnel as well as their support Contractors may review their material and or data. General Information: The 772d Enterprise Sourcing Squadron/Environmental Contracting (772 ESS/PKB) at Lackland AFB, TX, may be asked to provide engineering, restoration and construction services to achieve Site Closure (SC) through remedial action at Vandenberg Air Force Base, CA. Project Narrative: The 772 ESS/PKB is considering a performance-based approach for Site Closeout (SC) involving remedial action efforts at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. Performance-Based Remediation (PBR) emphasizes results in terms of environmental clean-up for an entire installation (fence-to-fence), or group of installations, in lieu of a study-based approach. The PBR approach looks for technically and cost-effective methods for achieving this clean-up by focusing on achievement of desired objectives without specifying the processes or technologies for obtaining those objectives. The PBR initiative has an overarching goal to implement remedies as necessary to protect human health and the environment that maximizes the number of SCs or advance sites as close to SC as practicable during the Period of Performance (POP) in a cost effective manner. It is desirable to the Government that Life-Cycle Costs (LCC) be reduced. If SC with no new institutional controls is not obtainable within the POP of this effort, the Contractor shall outline the Optimization Exit Strategy (OES) that will be implemented to accomplish SC. The POP is estimated at 120 months from date of award. The estimated Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) anticipated for any resultant contract is between $150,000,000 and $180,000,000. This ROM is an estimate range only and is provided only for informational purposes of responding to the RFI.

NAICS: 562910. Sandia National Laboratories, the lead research and development laboratory for the Department of Energy's physical security programs, is seeking one or more business partners to do commercial development and deployment of advanced reactive barrier technologies that include the application of Sandia's intellectual property. Sandia is seeking a company or companies to cooperatively develop and commercially license the technology described in this posting and expects the successful company/companies to engage in the creation of a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) or other working relationship with Sandia to further develop the technology. Commercial licensees will have the opportunity to obtain a license to the intellectual properties for reasonable compensation. It is expected that the company/companies that work with Sandia to develop the technology mentioned will build it into a commercial product. Potential partners must provide Sandia information describing their ability to: Apply the advanced barrier technology for containment of radionuclides, heavy metals and/or other contaminants in sediment and commercially market the resulting process. The technology to be supplied by Sandia includes: A novel method for construction of a calcium apatite permeable reactive barrier for the containment of radionuclides, heavy metals and other contaminants has been developed and successfully field tested. Calcium apatite is a strong sorbent for many contaminants, including uranium, lead, strontium, cadmium, plutonium, neptunium, thorium, americium, zinc, fluoride and other contaminants from natural sources or manufacturing and mining operation and accidental releases. A permeable reactive barrier of calcium apatite can be used for removing contaminants from groundwater or as a preventative measure to prevent contamination from hydrofracturing, mining and other excavation operations. Using this patented technology (US Patent 6,416,252 and US Patent 6,592,294); a calcium apatite barrier is formed by utilizing the natural soil microorganisms. An aqueous solution containing a calcium citrate compound and sodium phosphate is injected or allowed to infiltrate into the site for barrier construction. As the indigenous soil bacteria biodegrade the calcium citrate compound, calcium apatite will precipitate throughout the soil. This new technology is unmatched in its simplicity of implementation, effectiveness, safety and low cost. The technology has been proven in a field test at the Department of Energy's Hanford site in Washington State where a calcium apatite barrier was constructed using the new technology to prevent radioactive strontium from entering the Columbia River. The test barrier has been proven to be 90 to 95% effective at sequestering the radioactive strontium and the barrier is being expanded to protect approximately 2500 feet of Columbia River shoreline. Currently, research is underway to expand the capability of the barrier for sequestering technetium. To express interest in this opportunity, please respond by mail to Gary E. Rochau by June 15, 2012 at: Sandia National Laboratories, MS 1136, PO Box 5800, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87185, email: gerocha@sandia.gov, phone: 505.845.7543. Please indicate the date and title of the FBO notice. Include company and contact information as well as a description of how your company meets Sandia's criteria and could best contribute to the formation of a CRADA or license and subsequent commercialization of this technology. Sandia National Laboratories is a multi-program laboratory managed and operated by Sandia Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin Corporation, for the U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration under contract DE-AC04-94AL85000.

NAICS: 562211. Washington River Protection Solutions, LLC (WRPS), a contractor to the US Department of Energy (DOE) Office of River Protection (ORP), is seeking interested parties for treatment of its liquid tank waste to reduce the concentration of high dose radioactive constituents, primarily cesium-137 (137Cs). There is a select volume of 4-6 million gallons of Hanford tank waste among its 57 million gallons of radioactive waste currently stored in underground storage tanks, that is projected to be treated at-tank for cesium removal to allow further treatment at the Hanford Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant (WTP). The reduced cesium stream will be pumped to the WTP for vitrification into a final waste glass form for disposal. WRPS is evaluating commercial interest in providing equipment systems and/or services for set-up at its tank farm to treat existing tank volumes. A treated waste stream is needed for transfer to the WTP by December 2017. This is not a Request for Proposal, but a request for an expression of interest. Please limit expression of interest responses to less than ten pages of information. ALL RESPONSES MUST BE RECEIVED BY WRPS NO LATER THAN CLOSE OF BUSINESS JUNE 13, 2012 THROUGH EMAIL: TIFFANY_R_MCFARLAND@RL.GOV. WRPS looks forward to hearing from you regarding this request. Should you have questions regarding this matter, please contact Tiffany McFarland by email.

NAICS: 541380. This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This solicitation, W9124J12RLAB1, is being issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ). This solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2005-58. This procurement is a 100% Small Business set-aside in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 19.502-2 (a). The NAICS code is 541380 with a small business size standard of $14.0 million (PSC F107). The Contracting Officer has determined that two or more Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) represent the most advantageous method for procuring this requirement. A detailed description of required services is at the Performance Work Statement and the list of contract line item numbers (including the type of test, quantities and units of measure) have been uploaded with this combined synopsis/solicitation. A summary of details, submission instructions and evaluation criteria and procedures follow: The BPAs shall be written for a period of one (1) 12 month base period and two (2) 12 month options. MICC - Fort Sam Houston intends limit the value of any resultant BPA to a total value of $30,000 per year during this three (3) year period. The combined synopsis/solicitation is being issued to procure the following commercial services for approved sampling and laboratory testing for contaminants including (but not limited to): Coliform, Alkalinity (CaCO3), Nitrates, Perchlorate, Nitrite, Phosphate, Trihalomethanes, Haloacetic acids, Lead, Chorine, Settleable Solids, Biochemical Oxygen Demand, Total Suspended Solids, Individual Metals, Total Organic Carbon, Total Suspended Solids, Electrical Conductivity, pH, Total Extractable Hydrocarbons, Gasoline Range Organics (GRO), Diesel Range Organics (DRO), Semi-Volatile Organics and Asbestos for the U.S. Mission and Installation Contracting Command from various locations on Fort Hunter Liggett, CA. To qualify, firms must have the capability to perform laboratory services to accommodate both U.S Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Department of Public Health. The service has historically been provided by a California based laboratory having sampling "routes" that allow it to pick up samples from Fort Hunter Liggett and report results back to the Government typically within 10-15 days. Historical workload indicates that Fort Hunter Liggett requires sampling on a weekly basis (with a couple unscheduled visits based upon the less predictable sampling requirements unique to the installation). The Mission and Installation Contracting Command - Fort Sam Houston, Environmental Contracting Division intends to award one or more BPA(s) resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror(s) whose proposal conforming to the solicitation, will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following are the two source selection subfactors prospective offerors should address: Technical Subfactor 01: Brief discussion of associated duties, challenges and solutions. Specifically, the offeror shall identify any limiting factors, assumptions made, and exceptions taken to the terms and conditions associated with this action. The offeror should not rephrase or restate the Governments requirements. However, each offeror should clearly identify its understanding of the duties and certifications required to perform the required analysis. Technical Subfactor 02: Quality Control. The offeror shall provide proposed quality control procedures in the form of a brief Quality Control Plan (QCP) that will be employed in support of the sampling, testing, and analysis. Offerors shall submit a response that is self-sufficient and responds directly to the requirements identified in this combined synopsis/solicitation and the attached PWS. The response should consist of two (2) volumes (under separate file names). The volumes are: Volume I - Technical Submission, and Volume II - Price Submission. Volume I - Technical Submission technical submission shall address both technical factors (discussion of associated duties, challenges and solutions; and quality control) and shall not exceed 10 pages in length (collectively) for each offeror. Award will be made to offeror(s) who are deemed responsible in accordance with FAR, whose proposal conforms to the requirements, and whose proposal represents the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) solution. Unreasonable or unbalanced proposed prices may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition. Each technical subfactor will receive a rating of acceptable or unacceptable. The collective subfactor ratings will be used to determine an overall rating for the factor. However any subfactor that receives an unacceptable rating will result in an overall unacceptable rating for the factor and will not be eligible for award. Volume II - Price Submission will be based upon the attached CLIN schedule. The evaluated price for each CLIN is the aggregate price proposed for the CLIN multiplied by the quantity specified in the attached pricing schedule. The sum of all CLIN prices represents the total evaluated price. Offerors that omit prices for one or more CLINs may not be considered for award. Interested vendors wishing to respond to this solicitation shall provide all responses, quotes, comments, and questions shall be submitted to the Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer in writing. QUOTES ARE REQUIRED TO BE RECEIVED NO LATER THAN 4:00 PM CDT, FRIDAY, 15 JUNE, 2012. Performance is expected to commence in June 2012. Contracting Office Address: Office Address: Mission and Installation Contracting Command - Fort Sam Houston, 2205 Infantry Post Road, Fort Sam Houston, TX 78234-1361.

NAICS: 541712. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Office, on behalf of the Science & Technology Directorate invites small business concerns to submit proposals under this Solicitation for the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program. Small business concerns with the capability to conduct research or research and development (R/R&D) in any of the homeland security-related topic areas described in Section 8.0, and to commercialize the results of that R/R & D are encouraged to participate. EXAMPLE: SBIR TOPIC H-SB012.2-004: HARDENING FOR COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE HAND HELD COMPUTING AND COMMUNICATIONS DEVICES FOR FIRST RESPONDERS. The majority of technologies that First Responders have available to them are off-the-shelf, standard devices that do not meet the ruggedness and durability requirements that public safety operational environments demand. By developing a low-cost approach to hardening existing devices and technologies with different form factors, public safety users will be able to leverage much of the new commercial off the shelf technology being developed for public use, at a much more affordable cost. Public safety grade devices, such as land mobile radios, are designed to withstand extreme conditions but cost thousands of dollars individually. By developing an affordable solution that protects a low cost commercially available mobile computing or communications device while still maintaining its full functionality, public safety entities can begin to incorporate these devices into operational environments where current products would not survive. Enhancing the environmental protection tolerances for existing commercial devices, while maintaining their functionality, would help public safety operations afford both the initial investment, as well as operation and maintenance costs of broadband accessible public safety devices. THE CLOSING DATE OF PHASE I SOLICITATION/DEADLINE FOR RECEIPT OF PROPOSALS IS JULY 3, 2012, 2:00 P.M. EDT.

NAICS: 541330. This synopsis is being issued as Full and Open Competition. The Forest Service intends to award no more than 4 IDIQ contracts. The scope of this contract is to implement Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) actions at abandoned mine sites. These response actions address mine waste and contamination that is adversely impacting human health and/or the environment. Abandoned mine sites are not in typical HAZMAT environments. Mine sites are located in remote area often without radio or cell phone coverage and in extremely steep terrain. Project accomplishment is complicated by the limited access to mine sites, which is generally difficult since most sites are remote and at high elevations. Wildfires in mine areas can be very dangerous to crews at these sites since there is only one way out and communications are limited. Snow conditions often hide mine features such as vertical shafts and make the area slippery and dangerous. At many sites, the contractor must enter underground workings to determine flow characteristics of acid mine drainage. Health and safety of the contractor's employees and government oversight is paramount to successful completion of the project. Qualified contractors must have experience with mining processes involving the extraction of metals from ore bodies and understand the relationship of mine waste and contamination. The on-the-ground activities at abandoned mine sites may include all of the following phases: *Abbreviated Preliminary Assessment, *Site Inspection, *Engineering Evaluation and Cost Analysis, *Removal Design, *Time-Critical or Non-Time-Critical Removal Action, and *Post-Removal Operations, Maintenance, and Monitoring. CERCLA activities associated with abandoned mines generally are addressed through the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (National Contingency Plan (NCP)), 40 CFR 300. The solicitation process will follow the requirements of Public Law 92-582 ("Brooks Act") procedures. We anticipate issuing the solicitation documents within the next 30 days.

SONIC DRILLING TO INSTALL MONITORING WELLS FOR THE SAVANNAH HARBOR EXPANSION PROJECT. (SNOTE)

NAICS: 562910. JUSTIFICATION AND APPROVAL FOR OTHER THAN FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION 1. Contracting Agency: The responsible contracting agency is the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Savannah District, and P.O. Box 889, Savannah, Georgia 31401-3640. 2. Description of Action: This request is for approval of a sole source procurement for sonic drilling to install monitoring wells for the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project. Award of this contract to Miller Drilling Company, Inc. 107 Helton Drive, Lawrenceburg TN 38464, will provide sonic drilling services and materials to install saltwater intrusion monitoring wells for pre- and post-project groundwater data collection In order to comply with the Federal Water Pollution Control Act and Georgia Department of Natural Resources regulations. 32 CFR 652 and AR 200-1 both mandate that documentation of these evaluations be prepared and records kept. The estimated price is approximately $108,005.00. 3. Description of Services: The contractor shall provide all labor, management, supervision, engineering, tools, equipment, materials, supplies, services, and transportation for the Savannah monitoring well Installations in accordance with the attached Scope of Work. 4. Authority Cited: 10 U.S.C. 2304(d) (1) (B) and FAR 6.302-1(a) (2) (iii). Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. 5. Reason for Authority Cited: Previous contract W912HN-P-0123 was issued to Miller Drilling Company (MDC) for this work. One of five required monitoring wells was 90-percent completed under this contract. The new contract will be a continuation of the original work. MDC has not de-mobilized from the site and will not charge for de-mob other than at the completion of all work, which will save the Government additional costs. In the original solicitation for the previous contract, MDC was the only bidder that could do the work for a fair and reasonable cost to the Government. If this work is awarded to another Contractor, they will not likely take responsibility for completion of the partially installed well. 6. Awarding a new follow-on contract to MDC, whose equipment is already on site and has site experience, will result in substantial cost savings to the government, continuity of services, and timely acquisition of data critical to the start-up schedule of the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project. The time involved to wait for a new contract to be executed would adversely affect the overall project schedule. 7. Actions to Increase Competition: It is incumbent upon the Government to ensure project delays and additional costs do not occur. There is no other source equally qualified to provide the necessary requirements under the circumstances. The requirement of these services cannot reasonably be met by another source because of the need to minimize cost and impact to project schedule. 8. Other Factors: Follow-on Contracts: This is a follow-on contract with additional requirements based on finding from the initial contract. In accordance with FAR 6.301-1(a)(2)(iii)(A), "For DOD, NASA, and the Coast Guard, services may be deemed to be available only from the original source in the case of follow-on contracts for the continued provision of highly specialized services when it is likely that award to any other source would result in (A) Substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition or (B) Unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirements."

All responses will be used to determine the appropriate acquisition strategy for a potential future acquisition. We encourage all firms to respond, including but not limited to, HUB Zone, 8(a), SDVOSB, Small and Large Business. The NAICS Code is 562910. The small business size is 500 employees. The USACE anticipates issuing an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC). Task Orders will vary from Firm-Fixed Price to Cost-Type. The anticipated IDIQ ordering period is 10-years. Total project magnitude is estimated at $250-$500 million. 1. SITE DESCRIPTION The Luckey site is located at the corner of Gilbert and Luckey Roads at 21200 Luckey Road, northwest of the Village of Luckey in Wood County, Ohio. The Village of Luckey is 22 miles southwest of Toledo, Ohio. The site encompasses approximately 40 acres and contains a large production building and warehouse, two abandoned rail spurs, and several smaller process and support buildings. The surrounding area west, north, and east of the site is primarily residential farmland. The site was used for beryllium processing in support of the national defense program from 1949 to 1961. Beryl ore (beryllium aluminum silicate); scrap beryllium; and radiologically contaminated scrap metal were brought to the site during this period. Records also indicate that beryllium scrap from other operations was sent to the site that might have been radiologically contaminated. In 1961 the General Services Administration sold the site to a privately owned company with the government retaining access rights in order to remove any remaining beryllium ore. The property changed ownership several times since 1961 and the most recent transaction involved sale of the property from Hayes Lemmerz International, Inc. (HLI) to Industrial Properties Recovery, LLC (IPR). IPR refused to close on the sale and was sued by HLI, who was granted a default judgment transferring the title (quit claim deed) to IPR, including all environmental liability. The site / facilities are not currently being used. The Luckey site is included in the FUSRAP. Contaminants of concern include beryllium, lead, radium-226, thorium-230, uranium-234, and uranium-238 in soils, sediments, fill materials, other miscellaneous debris, and groundwater. 2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The work and services shall consist of environmental remediation and support for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Buffalo, New York District. The project focus consists of the excavation, transport, and disposal of FUSRAP-contaminated soil, sediment, and materials at a properly licensed facility. Additional activities may include but are not limited to *Overall site maintenance and security. *Project management and construction quality assurance/quality control. *Preparation of project work plans and engineering design for USACE approval. *Perimeter air monitoring during the remedial action. *Sampling and analysis of excavated soils/fill. *Operation of an on-site laboratory. *Storm water and wastewater management and control. *Decommissioning and installation of monitoring wells. *Remedial compliance sampling and analysis. *Backfilling and restoration of remediated areas. *Supporting USACE during meetings with the public, local officials, and regulators. Material characterization, handling and management will require strict control and accounting. Procedures will need to be developed and implemented to ensure safety at the site and during transportation. 3. ANTICIPATED CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS: Offeror personnel shall have knowledge and experience in *Environmental response actions associated with investigation, design, removal, and construction activities mandated by FUSRAP. *Environmental investigation, design, remediation, transportation and disposal of beryllium and lead contaminated material. *Large scale construction remediation to include shoring, dewatering, excavation and handling of soils/fill impacted with radionuclides, beryllium, and lead. *Health physics, radiation, and beryllium safety and training. *In-situ measurement and characterization of radiologically contaminated soil and debris. *Analysis of radiological and non-radiological data in soil and water. * Management and staffing of an on-site laboratory. *Collection, management, and treatment of water during site activities. *Operation and maintenance of perimeter air monitoring systems, including meteorological monitoring and fixed and portable air monitoring stations to provide early detection of potential contaminant emissions. *Emergency response/pollution control. *Site closure protocols using the Multi-Agency Radiation Survey and Site Investigation Manual (MARSSIM). *Site restoration. *Consultation/coordination with state and local agencies and stakeholders. 4.

NAICS: 562211. Savannah River Remediation, LLC (SRR) is proud to be a member of the Aiken, South Carolina community. We are an engineering and construction facility with industry-leading capabilities, experience, and innovations needed to meet the full range of Liquid Waste (LW) program challenges. PURPOSE: The purpose of this inquiry is to determine your interest and qualifications as a possible Offeror to provide all labor, materials, equipment, and facilities necessary to receive, transport, process, and dispose of low level waste projected to meet the requirements of Class A and C waste as defined in Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) 10 Part 61.55, Waste Classification, hereinafter referred to as Class A and Class C, respectively. SRR will use the information obtained in your response to this Expression of Interest (EOI) to determine your firm's ability and interest in performing this service. This EOI is for INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. 1.0 SCOPE 1.1. General Description of the Service The Subcontractor shall receive low level waste that is projected to meet the requirements for Class A and Class C wastes (as defined in Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) 10 Part 61.55, Waste Classification; hereinafter referred to as Class A and Class C waste), process them into a suitable waste form (i.e., treat the waste), and properly dispose of the waste form product at an appropriate facility. Volumes to be processed are described in this Statement of Work (SOW). If the Subcontractor cannot meet a requirement stated in this SOW as written, the Subcontractor is encouraged to note any exceptions they would like to take to this SOW and propose recommendations. Exceptions and recommendations will be evaluated by Savannah River Remediation (SRR) as part of the review process to determine Subcontractor's capability. 1.2. Background Decontaminated Salt Solution (DSS) is the liquid effluent product after reduction of radioactive concentrations of strontium, actinides (primarily uranium and plutonium), and cesium from salt waste at the Savannah River Site (SRS). The quantity of DSS to be processed will increase from 2012 to 2018. The current production rate of up to 2.5 million gallons per year (M gal/yr) of Class C waste will remain constant until 2014. In late 2014, the waste stream will become a Class A waste and the volume will increase to up to 8.8 M gal/yr by 2015. By late 2018, the rate will increase to up to 10.1 M gal/yr of Class A waste and remain fairly constant until 2028. SRS currently treats the DSS and disposes of the final waste form on site in the State-permitted Saltstone Disposal Facility (SDF). The treatment facility consists of two segments: *Saltstone Production Facility (SPF) receives and treats DSS to produce solidified saltstone. *SDF consists of concrete disposal units used for the final disposal of the solidified saltstone. Saltstone is a grout waste form created through the mixing of DSS with a dry mix containing blast furnace slag, fly ash, and cement to reduce the mobility of selected hazardous constituents. Saltstone is intended to stabilize both hazardous chemicals and radionuclides. 3.0 WORK REQUIREMENTS 3.1. Task Requirements The work shall consist of the following three (3) phases: *Phase 1 - Proof of Subcontractor capability. *Phase 2 - Treatment of all or part of Class C generated waste prior to generation of Class A waste. *Phase 3 - Treatment of all or part of Class A generated waste. All products produced in the three (3) phases must meet applicable State and Federal regulations. The Subcontractor shall be solely responsible for treatment and disposal activities with no SRR or DOE oversight once the waste is jurisdictionally accepted by the Subcontractor. This includes any interactions with State and Federal regulatory agencies. A Detailed "Expression of Interest" (EOI) is available upon request. In the event the bidder has questions relating to the EOI, statement of work details, or submission requirements, such questions should be submitted in writing to the SRR Procurement Specialist on or before Close of Business (COB - 5:00 P.M. EST) on May 3, 2012. It is anticipated that if the service referenced in this EOI develops into a future procurement action, the end result will be a fixed unit-price subcontract. Following a formal Request for Proposal (RFP), a single subcontract is planned; however, SRR reserves the right to make multiple awards. Award will be made to the Offeror(s) whose proposal best conforms to any resultant RFP and is determined by SRR to be the best value, technical approach and price considered. If you do not plan to submit a response, a brief letter indicating your lack of interest and reasons would be appreciated. If no response is received by the established submission date, SRR will assume that you have no interest in participating in this procurement. EOI PROPOSALS (2 HARD COPIES, 1 ELECTRONIC) WILL BE RECEIVED BY SRR THROUGH COB (5:00 P.M. EST) ON MAY 31, 2012.

NAICS: 561990. THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT ANNOUNCEMENT ONLY AND NOT A REQUEST FOR TECHNICAL PROPOSAL OR SOLICITATION FOR BID. The Naval Special Warfare Command detachment Annapolis is identifying potential sources possessing the capabilities, experience, and expertise necessary for a potential new business opportunity involving the disposition of obsolete and unserviceable submersible craft components through sales contract(s). The purpose of this sources sought is to gain knowledge of the potential sales buyers who show an interest in competing and performing a sales contract. This notice is for information and planning purposes only and is not to be construed as a commitment by the government. The government will not pay for the information. Potential sources are being sought to demilitarize U.S. Armed Forces submersible craft components and disposal through recovering and recycling resulting (potentially high value) scrap or residue. Demilitarization (DEMIL) is the act of destroying military offensive or defensive advantages inherent in certain types of equipment or material. The disposal process may include disposal of hazardous waste, drain and purge of petroleum, oils and lubricants (POL), and removal of other potentially hazardous materials such as composites, and coolants. Disposal is defined as the end of life tasks or actions for residual materials resulting from demilitarization or disposition operations. All residues from scrapping operations will be removed and disposed of by the sales contractor in accordance with Federal, State and local regulations. This synopsis is to determine the feasibility of using a sales contract methodology to handle the disposal solutions of craft assets and identify potential buyers that are interested in scrapping and recovering resulting material. Prospective sales contractors must have the knowledge and technical expertise of all Federal, State, and Local environmental requirements that would allow for safe demilitarization, scrapping and recycling. The U.S. Armed Forces estimate for FY 12 is approximately one craft. The majority of the craft will be located at, but not limited to, Hanover, MD, Portsmouth, NH, and Pearl City, HI. A potential competitive sales contract offering could result for this craft. Potential components offered for sale may be sold individually in one time contracts or in lots on term contracts, depending on the type and quantity of component and location. Advertisements will be posted in Federal Business Opportunities. DLA Disposition Services uses a two-step process. In the first step of the process, interested bidders will respond to a Request for Technical Proposal (RFTP) whereby they explain their scrap operation and hazardous material program based on the Government's requirements. In step two, potential bidders whose proposal has been determined acceptable by DLA Disposition Services are then invited to submit a bid. The highest responsive/responsible bidder is awarded a contract. This sources sought announcement is not a Request for Technical Proposal nor should it be construed as an obligation on the part of the Government regarding the disposal method selected for this craft. The Government will not reimburse for any costs associated with preparing or submitting a response to this announcement. All interested sources must respond separately to future solicitations to this announcement. Any response from potential offers to this announcement shall be limited to 15 pages and must include the following information: *Name, Address, Phone Number, Point of Contact and e-mail address. *A description of your company's experience and capabilities for Demilitarization Disposal of hazardous materials, Recovery/recycling of scrap residue, and Safety and environmental compliance with disposal. *Describe your capability to provide personnel, equipment, and operations to support the disposal in various locations throughout the United States. *Describe your usual contract type, terms, and conditions. *Include an assessment of feasibility of using a sales contract methodology that is inclusive of meeting demilitarization, removal and/or remediation of hazardous materials, and subsequent recycling of residue. *Include at least 3 examples where the offeror demonstrated the capability to execute the requirements of comparable work within the last 5 years. *Offerors should include a brief description of each project, customer name, customer satisfaction and timeliness of the performance. POTENTIAL OFFERORS ARE ENCOURAGED TO SUBMIT THE ABOVE INFORMATION NO LATER THAN 23 SEPTEMBER 2012, 1500 EST.

NAICS: 541620. This is a sources sought notice to determine the availability of potential small business firms for a possible small business category set-aside. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), Office of Acquisition Management, is conducting a sources sought to determine whether small socioeconomic businesses exist to support Assessing Impacts of Nitrogen Deposition across Large Spatial Gradients. The Statement of Work (SOW) for this requirement can be found with the notice at FBO.gov. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 541620 - Environmental Consulting Services. INTERESTED PARTIES WHO FEEL THEY CAN MEET THE SOW REQUIREMENTS MAY SUBMIT WRITTEN CAPABILITY STATEMENTS, NOT TO EXCEED 5 PAGES, OUTLINING THEIR CAPABILITY NO LATER THAN 2:00 PM EST ON APRIL 27, 2012. The capability statements 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 small businesses. Submit responses via email to Harold Honegger at honegger.harold@epa.gov. This is not a Request for Quote. No solicitation is available at this time. STATEMENT OF WORK: TITLE: Assessing Impacts of Nitrogen Deposition across Large Spatial Gradients. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: Award to April 30, 2014. I. PURPOSE: The purpose of this research is to assess the environmental impacts from nitrogen deposition across large scale gradients in the United States. II. BACKGROUND: NCEA's Global Change Research Program (GCRP) is an assessment oriented research program. The NCEA GCRP assesses the potential consequences of global change on human health, the environment, and the economy of the United States. The NCEA GCRP assists local, state, regional, and national managers and decision makers to respond to such consequences by understanding vulnerabilities and evaluating adaptation options for protecting ecosystems, resources, and human health. Nitrogen (N) deposition is a prominent global change factor that currently stresses ecosystems and the services people extract from them. Terrestrial plant biodiversity in particular has been identified as a sensitive ecological end point. Recent work has identified initial estimates of the critical loads for N-induced species declines (Pardo et al. 2011a, Pardo et al. 2011b), which suggests that vast areas of the US may be losing or already have lost species. Whether this is actually occurring over large spatial scales has not been determined in the US, though confirmation has been found in Europe (Maskell et al. 2010, Stevens et al. 2004, Stevens et al. 2010). Work over the past year within EPA/ORD/NCEA has identified hot spots where these impacts may have occurred; and, it is the intention of this SOW to assess these projections for target areas in the US. III. CONTRACTOR TASKS: This research covers a variety of tasks that include identification and assessment of candidate deposition gradients across the US, a literature review of available data along candidate gradients, selection of a few gradients (3 or less) for further analysis that meet agreed upon criteria, establishing monitoring sites along selected gradient(s), data collection for agreed upon environmental end points, analysis of the resulting data, and writing up of the results as a journal article (one or two). This purchase order has two Phases: Phase 1 comprises of Tasks 1-3 and optional Phase 2 comprises of Tasks 4-5. Provided that satisfactory progress is made on Phase 1 as determined by satisfactory completion of the deliverables for Tasks 1-3, and resources are available, optional Phase 2 will be exercised. In order to successfully complete the work under this statement of work, the Contractor must have the following expertise: academic training in ecology at the PhD level, with an emphasis on terrestrial plant ecology, biogeochemistry, and statistics; experience with geospatial analyses and understanding of the critical loads approach (e.g. Pardo et al 2011); and, recognition as an expert on the impacts of nitrogen deposition. PHASE 1: Task 1: Establish regular communication.The Contractor shall schedule an initial conference call with the EPA Contracting Officer Representative (COR) and/or Contracting Officer's Technical Representative (COTR) to ensure clear understanding regarding the Statement of Work (SOW). The Contractor shall convene this call within one week of receipt of the approved simplified acquisition purchase order for this SOW from the Contracting Officer (CO). Thereafter, the Contractor shall arrange for regular (every 1-4 weeks as agreed to by the COTR) conference calls with the COTR to provide updates on progress and address concerns as they arise. These calls should not exceed one hour. On these calls and in writing (email is acceptable), the Contractor shall inform the COTR of any developments that affect the conduct or schedule of the deliverables under this SOW. Copies of all deliverables should be sent concurrently to the COR and the COTR. Copies of all correspondence pertaining to the performance of this purchase order sha ll be sent to the COTR and copied to the COR and CO. Deliverable 1a: Initial conference call with the COTR.Deliverable 1b: Schedule regular conference calls with the COTR. Task 2: Identify and assess candidate deposition gradients for analysis.The Contractor shall identify and assess candidate deposition gradients for analysis. N deposition maps and associated data provided by the COTR (possibly augmented by the Contractor) will provide the initial template for identification and assessment. Geospatial analyses of the N deposition maps will identify candidate gradients. Criteria for selection of candidate gradients will be developed, and should consider the magnitude of the N deposition gradient, type of N deposition along the gradient (e.g. wet vs. dry, oxidized vs. reduced), length of the gradient (e.g. km), presence of natural/seminatural sites along the gradient, and heterogeneity along the gradient (e.g. of soil types, vegetation, local land use, etc.). An assessment (literature analysis) of available data and available sampling sites along candidate gradients will also be major components of the selection criteria. Following discussions with the COTR on the results of the identification and assessment, a reco mmendation for gradient(s) to be selected for further analysis will be made. Deliverable 2a: Initial memo describing the identification and assessment process, including criteria for selection. Due one week after Deliverable 1a. Deliverable 2b: Final memo describing the identification and assessment process, including criteria for selection. Due one week after Deliverable 2a. Deliverable 2c: Draft technical report identifying and assessing candidate deposition gradients, including tables of candidate gradient properties. Due six months after Deliverable 2b. Deliverable 2d: Final technical report identifying and assessing candidate deposition gradients, including tables of candidate gradient properties. Due one month after Deliverable 2c. Deliverable 2e: Memo recommending deposition gradient(s) for further analysis. Due one week after Deliverable 2d. Task 3: Set up monitoring sites along selected deposition gradient(s).Following selection of gradients by the COTR using recommendations from the Contractor, the Contractor will then develop and implement a plan for monitoring the impacts of N deposition along the gradient(s). A draft plan will be generated that includes the number of sites, their size, locations along the gradient, and the ecological responses to be sampled. Several responses should be considered, including N deposition, plant community structure, leaf N content, soil pH, soil CEC, root:shoot, microbial community structure and/or function, and light penetration to the soil surface. Following exchange with the COTR, a final plan and implementation schedule will be generated. Deliverable 3a: A draft plan for monitoring and analysis along selected gradients. Due one month after Deliverable 2e. Deliverable 3b: A final plan for monitoring and analysis along selected gradients. Due two weeks after Deliverable 3a. PHASE II (OPTIONAL): Following completion of Tasks 1-3, the COR, COTR, and Contractor will review progress and budgetary status of the project. Provided satisfactory progress is made and resources are available, the CO will issue a modification to the purchase order to exercise the option for work to continue on Phase II. Once the modification is issued, the Contractor shall perform the tasks below. Task 4: Assess exposure and impacts from nitrogen deposition along selected gradient(s)The Contractor shall perform the data collection of environmental impacts along selected nitrogen deposition gradients. Deliverable 4a: Monthly memos summarizing the progress of data collection. Task 5: Analysis of data and journal article(s) on the project.The Contractor shall analyze the data using guidelines from Deliverable 3b, present initial findings as a webinar to the COTR, and write up the results as one journal article for each gradient sampled in Task 4. Deliverable 5a: Draft memo describing analytical results. Due one month after final memo from Deliverable 4a. Deliverable 5b: Final memo describing analytical results.

NAICS: 541620. Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Enforcement, Permitting and Assistance (REPA) 5 Region 7 Small Business Set-Aside. PRE-SOLICITATION SYNOPSIS: THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION. The purpose of this synopsis is to notify potential offerors of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Office of Acquisition Management's (OAM's) intent to issue a competitive small business set-aside solicitation to provide technical support services to the EPA Regions 7. The contracts will support EPA activities, as well as EPA coordinated efforts with states, tribes and other Federal agencies, at private, state and federal facilities, Indian Country, U.S. Territories, along the United States international borders, and further abroad. Under the authority of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and in cooperation with EPA's state and tribal partners, EPA manages a hazardous waste program, an underground storage tank program, and a solid waste program, including development of waste reduction strategies such as recycling. The goals of the RCRA program are to: 1) Protect human health and the environment from the hazards posed by waste disposal; 2) Conserve energy and natural resources through waste recycling and recovery; 3) Reduce or eliminate the amount of waste generated, including hazardous waste; and 4) Ensure that waste is managed in an environmentally safe manner. The activities required under this contract will support the RCRA goals cited above and other programs or related Agency initiatives. RCRA is the result of several laws. Congress passed the Solid Waste Disposal Act (SWDA) in 1965. This statute provided the basis for regulating the proper management of solid waste. The SWDA went through several major amendments resulting in the RCRA of 1976. The Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) in 1984 and the Federal Facilities Compliance Act of 1992 have also amended RCRA. To achieve RCRA program goals, four distinct yet interrelated programs exist under RCRA. Subtitle D of RCRA promotes and encourages the environmentally sound management of solid waste. It includes minimum Federal technical standards and guidelines for state solid waste plans. Subtitle C establishes a management system that regulates hazardous waste from the time it is generated until its ultimate disposal, in effect, from "cradle to grave." Subtitle I regulates petroleum products and hazardous substances (as defined under Superfund) that are stored in underground tanks. It establishes performance standards for new tanks and requires leak detection, prevention and corrective action at underground tank sites. Subtitle J regulates medical waste generation, treatment, destruction, and disposal. In conjunction with achieving the RCRA program goals, other programs or related Agency initiatives may be addressed within this performance work statement. This includes the following programs and initiatives: Clean Air Act (CAA), Clean Water Act (CWA), Toxic Substance and Control Act (TSCA), Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), Resource Conservation Challenge (RCC), Pollution Prevention (P2), National Environmental Performance Track (NEPT), Environmental Management Systems (EMS), Border 2012, Environmental Justice (EJ), National Environmental Justice Advisory Committee (NEJAC), Community Based Environmental Protection (CBEP), Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know (EPCRA), RCRA Brownfields, and other new initiatives and special programs. It is the Government's intent to award a Time-and-Materials, Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract from this solicitation through a small business set-aside. The Government will issue task orders from the resulting contract. The anticipated ordering period includes a twelve (12) month Base Period, and four (4), twelve (12) month option periods with a maximum potential ordering period totaling sixty (60) months. The NAICS code for this acquisition is 541620, Environmental Consulting Services, with a size standard of $7 Million. This is not a request for submission of proposals.

The closing response date will be 30 calendar days after issuance of the solicitation. This procurement will be conducted under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15 - Contracting by Negotiation. The contract award will be made using a best value approach, with technical capability being of greater importance than cost or price. The synopsis, amendments, and other information related to this procurement as well as any subsequent procurement notifications will be posted on FBO.gov and the EPA website, at http://www.epa.gov/oam/srpod/index.htm.
