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. EPA Region 8 is currently in the acquisition planning phase of this procurement and is seeking ways to realize greater cost savings and continue to ensure quality performance and deliverables through the START program.

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. Request for Information: The 772 ESS/PKB requests feedback from interested parties through the following survey link: http://www.mcix.com/questionnaire Note that official information concerning this RFI will be provided by the Contracting Officer only.

INJECTABLE REACTIVE BARRIER FOR CONTAINMENT OF RADIONUCLIDES, HEAVY METALS AND OTHER CONTAMINANTS. (SNOTE)
SOL: 12_376
DUE: 061512
POC: Gary E. Rochau, 505.845.7543, gerocha@sandia.gov.

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.

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.
