Quick Summary
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), specifically the REGION 2 CONTRACTING OFFICE, has issued a Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition (JOFOC) for a bridge extension of its Emergency and Rapid Response Services (ERRS) multiple award contracts. This extension is for 12 months, from January 27, 2026, to January 26, 2027, to ensure continuous critical services while new successor contracts are procured. This JOFOC was published on March 5, 2026.
Scope of Work
The services covered under these contracts involve emergency and rapid response for time-critical removals and remedial actions within EPA Region 2 (New York, New Jersey, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands). These services are authorized under key environmental acts including CERCLA, CWA, RCRA, and the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act.

- Contract Type: Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) with Firm-Fixed Price or Fixed Rate Task Orders.
- Current Contract Holders: Environmental Restoration, LLC (68HE0220D0001), Guardian Environmental Services (68HE0220D0002), and Kemron Environmental Services (68HE0220D0003).
- Extension Period: 12 months (January 27, 2026, to January 26, 2027).
- Estimated Value: The extension will utilize existing contract capacity; no ceiling increase is required.
- Product Service Code: F108 (Hazardous Substance Removal, Cleanup, And Disposal Services And Operational Support).
Eligibility / Set-Aside
Market research indicated that while multiple small businesses are capable of performing this requirement, the contracts cannot be further set aside for other socio-economic categories. This JOFOC is authorized under FAR 6.103-2(1) (DEVIATION) due to "Unusual and compelling urgency."
Additional Notes
This document is a justification for a non-competitive extension, not a solicitation. The procurement of new successor ERRS contracts is currently underway, with an anticipated award date of December 2026. The existing contractors are deemed uniquely qualified due to their extensive experience, knowledge of sites, and immediate availability to respond to emergencies. Interested parties should monitor SAM.gov for future competitive solicitations related to the successor contracts.
