NAICS: 562910. A Prequalification Questionnaire/Statement of Work is attached to the notice at FBO.gov. This procurement is set aside for Small Business under North American Industry Classification System code 562910, Environmental Remediation Services, with a Size Standard of 500 employees. VPU REMEDIATION METHODS TESTING: Washington Closure Hanford manages the River Corridor Closure Contract at the U.S. Department of Energy's Hanford Site in Southeastern Washington State. The project team is responsible for safely cleaning up and taking down hundreds of excess facilities, cleaning up waste sites, burial grounds and placing deactivated plutonium production reactors in interim safe storage. One of the methods used for waste disposal at the 618-10 Burial Ground and the 618-11 Burial Ground was the Vertical Pipe Unit (VPU). The first generation (a.k.a., pipe-style) of VPUs was simply pipes, 10- to 12-in diameter and 10- to 15-ft long, buried vertically; the pipes may be corrugated steel culvert or schedule-40 steel pipe. The second generation (a.k.a. drum-style) of VPUs was 22-in diameter, 15-ft long waste receptacles constructed by welding five 55-gallon bottomless drums together end-to-end and burying them vertically, separated by approximately 10 feet on center. The 618-10 and -11 Burial Grounds received low- to high-activity waste (e.g., fission products and some plutonium-contaminated waste). VPU remediation methods testing needs to be accomplished in order to optimize the project's approach to VPU remediation. Elements for testing include: *Augering of pipe-style VPUs for stabilization and size-reduction; both corrugated steel culvert and schedule-40 steel pipe. *Injection of water and augmented water via auger to adjust in situ moisture content for dust control. *Vertical mixing achieved during augering. *Characterization for radiological determination. Following award, mobilization, submittals, and readiness assessment, field work is anticipated to span between September 2013 and March 2014. RESPONSE DATE: MAY 28, 2013, 11:59 PM EASTERN TIME.

NAICS: 541712. The Office of Naval Research is interested in receiving white papers and full proposals for Department of Defense Explosive Ordnance Disposal Applied Research Science and Technology (S&T) projects which offer potential for advancement and improvement of multi-Service EOD operations. ONR has a need to develop and demonstrate emerging technologies for dismounted missions to detect/locate, access, diagnose/identify, and render safe/neutralize explosive hazards, including Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and unexploded ordnance (UXO) to support the DoD EOD mission.
The EOD mission is to render safe ordnance, including conventional and unconventional, improvised, chemical, biological, and nuclear IEDs and Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). It includes land and underwater location, identification, render-safe, and recovery (or disposal) of foreign and domestic ordnance. EOD conducts demolition of hazardous munitions, pyrotechnics, and retrograde explosives using detonation and burning techniques. The EOD mission is unique from the role of other forces, such as combat engineers that support movement of U.S. and allied forces. An IED is a device placed in an improvised manner incorporating destructive, lethal, noxious, pyrotechnic, or incendiary chemicals to destroy, incapacitate, harass, or distract. It can include military stores, but normally is devised from non-military components. White papers and full proposals for exploratory development are sought in the following areas: a) Rapid Desensitization/Neutralization of Energetic Materials: This effort supports the EOD Explosive Hazardous Device Render Safe/Neutralization mission. It is focused on developing a dismounted (man portable) capability to rapidly de-sensitize loose or exposed energetic material such that it can be moved safely and will not ignite during handling, storage, or transportation. The technology approach should allow for ease of manual use and application, and have a low environmental impact. The neutralization capability weight should not exceed 20 lbs for neutralizing up to 20 lbs. of energetics. Priority materials to be neutralized include insensitive high explosives or insensitive munitions explosive fills. b) Buried Hazard Removal System: This effort supports the EOD Buried Explosive Hazards Diagnosis and Identification mission. It is focused on dismounted (man-portable) capabilities that can be used to remove or expel a suspected buried threat that cannot be fully diagnosed in situ. The targets may be buried in loose or packed earth at various depths. Targets may weigh as much as 50 lbs with various geometries. Capabilities should be able to be deployed manually or robotically using existing EOD robots. Manual deployments should provide or enable standoff between the operator and target site. Systems using explosives or energetics should use materials currently available in DoD inventories. The capability should weigh less than 10 lbs. THE DUE DATE FOR WHITE PAPERS IS NO LATER THAN 3:00 PM (EST) ON 30 AUGUST 2013.

CONTRACTOR TASKS: The following sections describe the equipment, materials, supplies, and labor required to complete the objectives listed below: *Preparation and submittal of a waste transportation and disposal plan and off-site facility compliance certification. *Delivery of 130, 20-foot intermodal type containers to Unalakleet, AK. *Preparation of a complete manifest package to include but not be limited to: approved waste profiles, manifests, bills of lading, land disposal restriction notifications, Canadian transit notices and manifests and all supporting waste shipment documentation. *Transportation and disposal of PCB-impacted waste. *Report waste tracking, progress, final transportation and disposal. 2.1.1 Task 1: Preparation and Submittal of Waste Transportation and Disposal Plan and Off-Site Facility Compliance Certification Within two weeks after Notice to Proceed, the contractor shall participate in a coordination meeting with USACE and the onsite remediation contractor, Jacobs. The purpose of this meeting with be to discuss the scope of the project, roles and responsibilities, expectations, and schedule. The contractor shall submit a waste transportation and disposal plan and the off-site facility compliance certification within 30 days of Notice to Proceed (NTP). The off-site facility compliance certification verifies that all treatment, storage and disposal facilities identified in the waste transportation and disposal plan are permitted to receive the wastes. If any changes to the waste transportation and disposal plan and/or the off-site facility compliance certification occur after the initial submittal, an updated plan and/or certification shall be provided to USACE. 2.1.2 Task 2 Supply and Delivery of Waste Containers Beginning approximately June 01, 2013, Jacobs, will begin excavating PCB-impacted soils. Soils will be packaged in one cubic yard (CY) Supersacks and transported to the beach landing area where Jacobs will place the Supersacks in the contractor-provided containers. The contractor will be responsible to have onsite labor and equipment necessary to assist Jacobs with staging of both empty and filled containers. It is the conctractor's responsibility to coordinate closely with Jacobs to ensure that waste loading activities are performed in a manner providing maximum project efficiency. Jacobs will have equipment available to load empty containers on the ground only; therefore, coordination will be required to ensure that filled containers are moved and empty containers are staged and available for Jacobs to fill. It is the contractor's responsibility to determine the appropriate container type that will be the most effective for loading, shipping, and delivery to the TSDF. Work under this item may include but is not limited to providing waste containers used for transporting project generated wastes based on the estimated quantities including any materials necessary to safely transport soil and debris. The contractor shall assume an estimated base quantity of 1,145 CY of non-TSCA regulated soil and 565 CY of TSCA-regulated soils. Past efforts and available onsite equipment indicate containers can be loaded with no more than approximately 16 tons of soil. Tonnage factor is estimated at 1.23 ton/CY of soil. The maximum tonnage per container will be based on capacity of heavy equipment available to transport containers onto the barge. The contractor is expected to determine the number of containers required for the total volume of soil expected to be excavated this field season. 2.1.3 Task 3 Preparation of a Complete Manifest Package Work under this item shall include the development and preparation of waste profile sheets for the appropriate TSDF. Profiling will require the evaluation of waste analytical data provided by USACE. If additional waste characterization is needed, the contractor will be responsible for obtaining needed data. Analytical data from the soil excavated this season will be provided within 3 days after receipt from the analytical laboratory. Work under this item shall include providing a submittal, including all documentation identified as part of the complete manifest package, to USACE and U.S. Air Force (USAF) for initial review. The USAF-appointed signatory will sign all hazardous waste manifests after review and determine that the manifests and attachments are complete and accurate as outlined in this section. The USAF may defer signature of non-hazardous waste manifests to the contractor, however all manifests will be reviewed as previously described. The signed complete manifest package will be provided to the appropriate TSDF as per 40 CFR Part 262 requirements, for final signature upon receipt of the waste(s). Certificates of disposal will also be provided once the waste has been accepted at the TSDF. A complete manifest package will include but not be limited to: *Completed/Signed Hazardous Waste Manifests. *Uniform Non-Hazardous Waste Manifests. *Manifest attachments to include PCB control sheets and Land Disposal Restriction Notifications (where applicable). *Certified Generator Waste Material Profile Sheets and any supporting documentation such as laboratory analyses, MSDS' or generator knowledge. *Notice of Canadian Transit. *Canadian Hazardous Waste Manifests. *Notice of Discrepancies (if needed). *Exception Report (if needed). *Certificates of Disposal. *Certificates of Destruction. *Bills of Lading. The complete manifest package will be submitted to USACE and USAF for initial review at least 7 days prior to any scheduled waste shipments, and returned to the contractor for revisions (if necessary). The revised manifest package will then be submitted for final review by USACE and USAF. 2.1.4 Task 4 Transportation and Disposal of Wastes from Unalakleet to TSDF Contractor shall provide for any applicable container all waste shipment identification materials and mark, label, placard, and prepare waste shipments for transport from Unalakleet to the TSDF. These materials include but are not limited to waste placards, DOT hazard class labels, and hazardous/non-hazardous waste labels with appropriate marking. Necessary supplementary materials such as spray adhesives shall be supplied to ensure the permanence of each container's marking/labeling/placarding. Work under this item shall include loading, hauling, and transportation of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes from the project staging area to the appropriate TSDF for disposal. The contractor shall be responsible for arranging for the transportation of loaded wastes from Unalakleet to the TSDF; subsequent offloading of the waste, and costs accrued for the subsequent disposal. Contractor shall provide onsite supervision for loading/unloading of waste containers, including tracking origin of waste in each bin. Contractor shall also be responsible for any necessary decontamination of waste containers and disposal of decontamination waste. The contractor shall assume an estimated approximate quantity of 2,100 tons of PCB-contaminated soil: 1,400 Non-TSCA and 700 tons of TSCA-regulated. Certificates of Disposal for all wastes shall be submitted to USACE/USAF within 30 days after receipt from TSDF. In the event of potential regulatory reporting exceedences, the contractor shall immediately contact USACE/USAF, prepare proper notification documents and coordinate with USACE/USAF notification to the appropriate regulatory agency(s). 2.1.5 Task 5 Reporting As part of this work item, the contractor shall maintain a waste tracking spreadsheet for submittal to the USACE project manager or his designee.

NAICS: 541712. ATTACHMENTS INCLUDE: Q/A from previous acquisitions; BAA Phase I Proposal Instruction; BAA Industry Guide; Sample form for Phase I submittal. Notes: *This is the second solicitation to FY13 BAA announcement. If an Offeror has submitted to previous AFCEC BAA solicitations and would like to be reconsidered under this announcement,
the Offeror will need to re-submit a new or revised pre-proposal/white paper as stated below. *Please review all past AFCECBAA-11-001 Complete Questions and Answers (attached to the notice at FBO.gov) before submitting a question to
the Contracting Officer (CO). This solicitation constitutes a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC), Environmental Quality Technical Support Branch (CZTQ) under FAR 6.102(d)(2). This announcement seeks out proposals that demonstrate and validate innovative, sustainable, and cost-effective technologies and/or methodologies that will lead to more efficient and effective solutions for environmental compliance concerns across the Air Force and serve the Air Force's future environmental needs. Validated technologies and methodologies must comply with all applicable regulatory requirements, policies and guidance in the Environmental Compliance and Pollution Prevention Programs. This solicitation is not to test theoretical concepts or technologies and methodologies that currently exist solely in a laboratory research and development (R&D) phase or that have already been tested and validated multiple times in the field (i.e., a service). The Environmental Quality Program areas of need for this announcement are: a. Hazardous Materials: Proposals should identify new or innovative technologies or methodologies to remove or treat Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) and Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (PFOS) from Aqueous Fire Fighting Foam (AFFF). The Air Force has excess AFFF stockpiles that contains between 3 to 6% PFOA/PFOS. Proposals need to develop a cost effective mechanism to remove or treat PFOA/PFOS from the AFFF to reduce disposal costs for the Air Force while transitioning to new formations of AFFF that do not contain PFOA or PFOS. Current destruction of AFFF is through incineration which is expensive to the Air Force. b. Industrial Wastewater Treatment: Proposals should identify new or innovative industrial wastewater treatment technologies for recalcitrant organics in industrial wastewater treatment plants. Example installations are Robbins AFB and Hill AFB. c. Stormwater Modeling Techniques: Proposals should identify installation-wide watershed modeling approaches that enable base facility engineers to maintain compliance with Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) section 438. Each base has industrial stormwater permit that requires best management practices to eliminate illicit discharges to waters of the United States. Example of best management practices include but not limited to use energy efficient low maintenance technologies to reuse stormwater from roofs, parking lots, runways and other impervious surfaces. Additionally, mission requirements identify and manage the reduction of flooding conditions. Air Force does not want to build retention and detention systems for projects. Priority will be given to proposals that do not use continuous simulation techniques. Eligible Offeror/Applicants: This requirement is restricted to US - companies, academic institutions, non-profit institutions, and/or government agencies. Foreign participants and/or individuals may participate as subcontractors to the extent that such participants comply with any necessary Non-Disclosure Agreements, Security Regulations, Export Control Laws, and other governing statutes applicable under the circumstances. Acquisition Overview: The AFCEC BAA is a two-step process that includes two phases of proposal submittals: Phase I - submit a 2 page online form (white paper/pre-proposal) at http://www.afcee.lackland.af.mil/contracting/baa. Phase II - if invited, submit a full proposal that details the technology, the demonstration, and validation approach, and the costs for the proposed effort. Relevant forms, samples and guides are found on FedBizOps and the AFCEC BAA Website. Evaluation criteria for Phase I are included in the proposal instruction document provided in this announcement. The anticipated award of AFCECBAA-13-002 is Fiscal Year 13, 4th Quarter. How to Apply: All Phase I white papers/pre-proposals must be submitted as an online form and can be accessed through AFCEC's website (http://www.afcee.lackland.af.mil/contracting/baa). Each electronic submission shall address only one area of need and shall be in accordance with this announcement. PHASE I SUBMITTALS ARE DUE NO LATER THAN 4:00 PM CST, 01 JUNE 2013. Phase I submittals received after 01 June 2013 will be handled according to the rules under FAR52.215-1(c)(3). Evaluation/Notification: Phase I white papers/pre-proposals are evaluated by the Air Force's Technical Evaluation Board (TEB) using the evaluation criteria included with the proposal instructions. It is critical that proposals convey the requested information accurately and concisely to facilitate their review. Offerors whose proposals are judged innovative and that meet Air Force needs (as indicated in the Phase I evaluation criteria) are notified electronically via email to submit a proposal to Phase II (request for proposal); those not selected are notified accordingly. Offerors invited to submit a Phase II proposal are sent to key personnel contact information listed in Phase I white paper/pre-proposal along with a Request for Proposal (RFP) Package, Phase II instructions, how and when Phase II proposals are to be submitted to the Air Force. To be eligible for an award, submission of Phase I is required.

NAICS: 541712. THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY SOLICITATION. QUOTATIONS ARE BEING REQUESTED AND A WRITTEN SOLICITATION WILL NOT BE ISSUED. This solicitation number is RFQ-RT-13-000049 and the solicitation is being issued as a 100% SMALL BUSINESS SET-ASIDE competition Request for Quotation (RFQ) using FAR Part 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 05-55. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code 541712 ? Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences which it has a size standard of 500 employees to qualify as a small business, is applicable. This procurement is to acquire Natural Organic Matter (NOM). The Government intends to award a firm fixed-price contract for an 8 month period of performance. DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT: The contractor shall conduct laboratory field work (on location at a surface water location or surface water locations proposed and accepted by the U.S, EPA) to prepare concentrated natural organic matter (NOM). Chemical disinfection of drinking water is a major public health triumph of the 20th century, resulting in significant decreases in morbidity and mortality from waterborne diseases. Disinfection byproducts (DBPs) are chemicals formed by the reaction of oxidizing disinfectants with NOM and inorganic chemicals in the source water. To date more than 600 unique DBPs have been identified. Despite this massive identification effort, much of the mass of total organic halide (TOX) formed as a result of disinfection remains unidentified. The quantified DBPs account for typically less than 50% of TOX when considering disinfection with chlorine and much less of the TOX when considering disinfection with chloramine. Quantitative concentration data are t ypically available for between 20 and 30 compounds, including the four regulated THMs, the five regulated and four other chlorinated and brominated haloacetic acids (HAAs), four haloacetonitriles, aldehydes, chloral hydrate, chloropicrin, and bromate. Historically, most other DBPs have been identified by qualitative analyses only; thus, the size of the unknown fraction is large. In contrast to the large number of DBPs that have been identified, few of the known DBPs have undergone toxicological investigations usable for risk assessment. It is not possible to conduct toxicological evaluation of all known DBPs or even a sizable fraction of them. Even if this could be accomplished, a chemical-by-chemical approach would not provide information on either interactions among and between the DBPs or the toxicity of the unidentified fraction. Additional motivation for research with complex mixtures comes from the fact that while most experimental animal toxicity data are from sin gle-chemical studies, human epidemiological studies provide data on exposure to DBP mixtures. Some human epidemiological studies show positive, but weak, associations between human exposure to chlorinated water and such adverse health effects as increased spontaneous abortions, increased duration of menstrual cycles, stillbirth, low birth weight, small-for-gestational age infancy, birth defects, bladder cancer and colon/rectal cancer. Thus, to address potential health concerns that cannot be answered directly by toxicological research on individual DBPs or defined DBP mixtures, toxicological research with environmentally realistic complex mixtures of DBPs is needed. Such research can only be conducted with disinfected natural organic matter (NOM). PURPOSE: The contractor shall identify surface water sources and prepare concentrated NOM from those identified sources. While the need for toxicological research with concentrates of NOM is recognized, the availability of concentrates has severely limited progress in developing an improved understanding of the potential human health risks associated with consumption and use of water disinfected with oxidizing agents. Data are needed that provide insights into the relative toxicity of disinfection of the same source water with different disinfection scenarios. Such information may help guide water treatment plants as they change disinfectant strategies to ensure compliance with regulatory limits on the concentrations of DBPs in finished water. The goal of this requirement is to provide NOM that will enable the necessary toxicological research. SPECIFIC ELEMENTS OF THE STATEMENT OF WORK: Task 1. QA plan. Within 3 weeks of award of the contract, the contractor shall provide a QA plan as described under Interim Deliverable 1. Task 2. Preparation of Powdered, Concentrated NOM. The contractor shall use reverse osmosis techniques, electrolyte dialysis and drying techniques to prepare concentrates of NOM suitable for use in both in vivo and in vitro toxicology studies. The contractor shall conduct field studies and produce water concentrates using reverse osmosis techniques from the water sources identified by the Contractor. These concentrates shall, either in the field or in the laboratory, undergo electrodialysis for removal of electrolytes; then, the NOM contained in the concentrates shall be dried into powder. Note that the NOM must be concentrated during the higher NOM months of the year (May, June, July, August, September, October) and must be collected, concentrated and prepared in 2013. The contractor shall collect information on the actual water source(s) from which the NOM is being concentrated, along with information on the volumes filtered per unit time and total water filtered as well as information on the starting total organic carbon concentration, the final total organic carbon concentration, the volumetric concentration factor, the concentration factor based on the increase in total organic carbon, and the inorganic characterization of the NOM (the concentrations of bromide, iodide, aluminum, arsenic, barium, beryllium, calcium, cadmium, chromium, copper, iron, potassium, magnesium, manganese, hardness) shall be included. NOM must be isolated from a minimum of 150,000 liters of water, with a minimum yield of 1.6 kilograms of NOM produced. DELIVERABLES: The contractor shall submit the following deliverables to the EPA in the form of a written report: Interim Deliverable 1. (associated with Task 1: QA plan) The first interim deliverable shall consist of a quality assurance plan, specific to the performance of the Statement of Work, for preparation of NOM. The QA plan shall cite appropriate references and shall include the number of reverse osmosis units to be used in the effort, their capacity in terms of volume of water filtered per hour and the manufacturer of the unit. The same information (number of units, capacity, manufacturer) shall be provided for any electrodialysis units to be used in the project. The procedure for removal of water shall be specified in detail. The level of detail shall be consistent with that contained in a standard operating procedure. Interim deliverable1 is due 3 work weeks (15 working days) after award of the contract. Interim Deliverable 2 (associated with Task 2: NOM prep aration) The second interim deliverable shall consist of specific information on the water source(s) and their locations, with data on total organic carbon, natural constituents such as bromide and iodide and potential or actual background contaminants that may be concentrated along with the NOM. Information shall be included on known public and/or private water utilities that draw their source water from the proposed source at the proposed location. If the utility/utilities request confidentiality the Contractor must withhold the utility/utilities name. The second interim deliverable shall be due 6 work weeks (30 working days) after award of the contract. Interim Deliverable 3: (associated with Task 2: NOM preparation) The third interim deliverable shall consist of a progress report on NOM concentrate preparation. The report shall include information on the actual water source(s) from which the NOM is being concentrated, along with information on the volumes filtered per unit time to date, total water filtered to date, and the projected amount of water to be filtered over the course of the sampling cycle. Preliminary information on the starting total organic carbon concentration, the final total organic carbon concentration, the volumetric concentration factor, the concentration factor based on the increase in total organic carbon, and the inorganic characterization of the NOM (the concentrations of bromide, iodide, aluminum, arsenic, barium, beryllium, calcium, cadmium, chromium, copper, iron, potassium, magnesium, manganese, hardness) shall be included. The third interim deliverable shall be due no earlier than 15 working days and no later than 45 working days after beginning of NOM concentration at the field location. Final Deliverable: The final deliverable shall be the concentrated NOM, with data detailing the specifics of its preparation, such as the starting total organic carbon concentration, the final total organic carbon con centration, the volumetric concentration factor, the concentration factor based on the increase in total organic carbon, and the inorganic characterization of the NOM (the concentrations of bromide, iodide, aluminum, arsenic, barium, beryllium, calcium, cadmium, chromium, copper, iron, potassium, magnesium, manganese, hardness).

Time: July 25, 8:00am-5:00pm, poster session 5:00-6:00pm, networking 6:00pm-7:00pm; July 26, 8:00am-5:00pm. Where: William J. Cohen Building located at 330 C Street SW, Washington, D.C. BACKGROUND: DHS S&T is sponsoring a two day technical industry meeting in the area of trace explosive detection capabilities for aviation, facilities, and mass transit security applications. Explosives trace detection is frequently used as a primary or secondary screening method for detection of explosives in screening people, baggage, and cargo. DHS S&T is interested in significantly expanding the number of detectable analytes in explosives trace detection systems to include a range of liquid, volatile and semi-volatile organic, salts and mixtures thereof. The addition of more analytes to the detection requirements for explosives trace detectors will require substantial technology enhancements that provide higher selectivity and sensitivity as well as sample collection improvements. PURPOSE: The industry day will outline recent research results and applicability to Explosives Trace Detection (ETD) equipment along with DHS S&T's development strategy related to enhancing explosives detection for trace residues in aviation, facilities, and mass transit security environments to inform an upcoming new program in high resolution explosives trace detection. Project and technology overviews will be provided, in addition to experimental results and project plans for future DHS S&T sponsored research. Technical areas of focus include (1) development of next generation, desktop ETD systems, (2) development of portable ETDs, (3) signature analysis and data analytics for existing sensors and trace detection instrumentation, (4) advanced sampling methodology, both direct and non-contact, and (5) preparation of representative trace explosives sample generation in vapor and particulate form. DESCRIPTION: This two-day event is anticipated to consist of presentation and poster sessions from DHS S&T, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and various researchers in the technical areas described above. Ample time will be available for interaction with attendees and presenters during presentations, poster sessions, and a networking event. Anticipated Government attendees will include staff from DHS S&T's Explosives Division (EXD) and the TSA. DHS S&T is currently seeking information on the most recent advancements in explosive trace detection. Topics of interest include: (1) Next generation, desktop ETD systems for air cargo, baggage, or passenger screening that can selectively and sensitively identify analytes from a significantly expanded threat library compared to currently deployed systems and is structured to be modular to enable spiral upgrades as improvements in explosives detection and sampling are realized in the future. (2) Advanced portable and handheld ETDs that will reduce the required footprint for such machines and allow the use of non-contact (direct analysis) or contact swab sampling while still maintaining a competitive price to comparable ETD systems. (3) Advanced signature analysis and data analytics for existing sensors and detection instrumentation to define innovative measurement system architectures that jointly optimize the physical measurement system and mathematical processing framework to provide a unified or jointly designed data acquisition, processing, detection, classification and reconstruction architecture or measurement system. Applicable approaches include, but are not limited to signature analysis, data analytics, information theory analysis, compressive measurement, coded apertures, active learning, sensor or data fusion, principle component analysis, adaptive or intelligent measurement approaches, and algorithm development. (4) Advanced sampling tools and methodology, both direct and non-contact, to increase the collection efficiency and/or provide for additional security flexibility. Applicable areas include, but are not limited to: *improved and/or new swab materials that are cost competitive to current sampling media, *improved wand or swab holder to increase collection efficiency, *novel approaches for sampling from human skin or clothing, *reliable air pulsed sampling and collection techniques, *capability to rapidly sample entire exterior surface of carry-on baggage, checked baggage, or break bulk cargo, *rapid pre-concentration approaches, *complementary combination of direct and non-contact sampling to broaden sampling capability across different explosives families, *an upgradable non-contact trace hand-held sampling tool that will offer increased capability to respond to emerging threats, and *a cost-effective, rugged, ergonomic, "universal" trace collection swabbing tool supporting common ETD systems capable of providing users with feedback with regards to reproducible and adequate pressure application to ensure optimum operation. (5) Methods for the preparation of reproducible and representative trace explosives samples for testing to include generation in vapor and particulate form to aid in the development of next generation ETD systems.

NAICS: 524210. The Department of Transportation, Maritime Administration (MARAD), Office of Acquisition and Grants intends to award a sole source bridge contract under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) - FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii)(B) - Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. The bridge will be issued for the continuation of Oil Pollution insurance. This bridge is necessary to allow time to formally compete this requirement. Lamorte
Burns provides oil pollution insurance and related services in response to oil spills for the Maritime Administration (MARAD), U.S. Department of Transportation owned vessels of the Ready Reserve Force (RRF) and Schoolships operated by the State Maritime Academies. Lamorte Burns & Co., Inc. also provides MARAD services of a Spill Management Team (SMT) to manage a large oil spill from MARAD-owned vessels of the RRF and Schoolships operated by the State Maritime. These services are provided under contract number DTMA1C08002. Lamorte Burns is a Small Business concern. No source other than the incumbent can satisfy this short-term need given the transition period that would be required, and conducting a follow-on acquisition for this need would result in unacceptable delays in fulfilling the agency's requirement. MARAD intends to award a sole source bridge to ensure there is no lapse in services while the competitive process for the follow-on acquisition is completed. The period of performance for this bridge contract is May 1, 2013 through July 31, 2013. The NAICS code for this requirement is 524210 Insurance Agencies and Brokerages and the Size Standard is $7.0 million. This notice is not a request for competitive quotes. MARAD intends to re-compete the requirement 3rd Quarter of FY 2013. A Sources Sought Notice was issued on Fbo.gov under notice number 2013OilPollution. A determination by the Government not to compete this requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Contracting Officer.

NAICS: 541990. Sources Sought - Planned Sole-Source Follow-on Contract in Support of the Non-Stockpile Chemical Materiel (NSCM) Explosive Destruction System (EDS) Operations Augmenting the Pueblo Chemical Agent-Destruction Pilot Plant (PCAPP) at the Pueblo Chemical Depot (PCD), Colorado. The Program Executive Office Assembled Chemical Weapons Alternatives (PEO ACWA) announced on April 18, 2013 the selection of the NSCM EDS for onsite destruction of a number of problematic chemical munitions that cannot be easily processed through PCAAP. These included munitions that have leaked in the past and are now in overpacked condition, as well as rejects from PCAPP, whose deteriorated physical condition does not easily allow for the plant's automated processing. In support of this EDS operation, the Government intends to award a sole source, single award indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract for acquiring the continuation of the ongoing contractor-provided EDS operational support for the destruction of the problematic chemical munitions at PCD. The corresponding umbrella statement of work (SOW) for the EDS deployment at PCD will require the contractor to perform preparation of site specific EDS operational plans/procedures (i.e. destruction plan, site safety submission package, standard operating procedures), development and conduction of site specific EDS operational training (i.e. explosive operator training course, chemical operator training course), development and/or modification of site specific environmental permits (i.e. Clean Air Act (CAA) permit, Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) permit, Pueblo County Certificate of Designation), and furnishing of on-site support of the EDS operations (i.e. data collection, preoperational survey). Currently, the projected ordering period of the IDIQ will be five (5) years; the period of performance for the initial task order 0001 is anticipated to be two (2) years with subsequent task orders issued under the ordering period up to the projected completion date of the EDS deployment at PCD. This planned follow-on contract action will be a cost-plus-fixed-fee contract type and will be funded primarily with Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation funding. As described in FAR 6.302 1(a)(2)(iii), the above unique and/or highly specialized services being planned are available only from the original source; this planned follow-on contract action will be to the current EDS operational support contractor, Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), McLean VA. The Government has determined that procurement by other than full and open competition is necessary because procurement from any other source than SAIC would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition and/or would potentially cause unacceptable delays in fulfilling the EDS deployment to PCD. This planned follow-on contract will allow NSCM to retain these unique and/or highly specialized services in supporting of its EDS operational support requirements for its project to augment at PCAPP. This planned follow-on contract has to be in place no later than fourth quarter, Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 to provide the continuation of the NSCM EDS operational support without a break of these services and to meet the projected EDS deployment to PCD third/fourth quarter, FY2014. Over the last nearly twenty (20) years and as the only EDS operations support performer under its applicable multiple Program and Integration Support (PAIS) contracts/task order(s), SAIC successfully provided the EDS operational support, as discussed above. This included EDS acquisition and operations support, the EDS operational support at the NSCM Pine Bluff EDS (PBEDS) project, the EDS operational support at the NSCM EDS Rocky Mountain Arsenal (RMA) project, and the EDS operational support at initial EDS PCAPP planning activities/efforts. For EDS acquisition and operations supports (1994-present), PBEDS (2003-2009), and RMA (2000-2001) projects, SAIC acquired unique and highly specialized institutional knowledge and expertise, as it applied to planned EDS operations. This SAIC institutional knowledge and expertise has a direct parallel and applicability to the very similar requirements that are planned for the EDS deployment at PCD. In addition, the initial PCAPP planning activities/efforts (2010-2011) performed by SAIC developed EDS operational plans and permit modifications for the EDS deployment to PCD. These includes draft versions of the applicable RCRA permit, the Pueblo Title V modification to the Pueblo CAA permit, Pueblo County Certificate of Designation, Pueblo EDS site integration plan, the Pueblo EDS chemical site plan, and the Pueblo EDS chemical safety submission. SAIC acquired unique and highly specialized institutional knowledge and expertise in performing these efforts, which relate directly to the further support needed for the upcoming execution of the EDS deployment at PCD. No other contractor currently has this unique and highly specialized institutional knowledge and expertise in EDS operational support to meet the projected PCD deployment schedule. This planned follow-on contract action will extend, leverage, and build upon SAIC's prior efforts under its multiple PAIS contracts/task orders, especially on the critical paths associated with development of site specific EDS plans/procedures, training, and environmental permitting for its PCD project. Accordingly, this planned follow-on contract action to SAIC represents the logical continuation of previous expended activities/efforts, lessons learned, and costs to ensure that the unique and/or highly specialized services required by the corresponding SOW are available from SAIC in a timely and efficient manner without causing significant delays and cost impacts to the NSCM EDS deployment to PCD or resulting in substantial duplication of cost to the Government that is not expected to be recovered through competition. The purpose of this special notice is to conduct a market survey of interested parties that may have capabilities and past experiences to respond to and comply with the overall above NSCM EDS operational support requirements or submit proposals if a future competitive NSCM EDS operations support request for proposal is issued. Please submit your interest in response to this sources sought notice, and a description of your capabilities and past experiences to perform the above NSCM EDS operations support requirements. This description and past experiences should discuss EDS operational plans/procedures development, EDS permit development/modification, EDS training development and conduction, and EDS on-site operation assistance support, as it applies to the EDS deployment at PCD. In addition, your description should provide the company name(s) of your prospective contractor team arrangement. Your response shall be emailed to Mr. Kevan Woodin at address: kevan.m.woodin.civ@mail.mil. Phone number is 309-782-3961. As such, the email submission should be as a Word file attachment, Times New Roman (12 pitch), of no more than five (5) pages (11x8.5). Responses are requested no later than 30 May 2013. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals; however, all information received within thirty days after the date of publication of this sources sought notice will be considered by the Government. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered solely for the planning purpose of determining whether to conduct a follow-on NSCM EDS operational support competitive acquisition.

STATEMENT OF WORK IN SUPPORT OF AN OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH EXPOSURE REVIEW SUBMITTED TO THE U.S. OFFICE OF THE SPECIAL COUNSEL. 1.0 GENERAL: The General Services Administration (GSA) seeks to award a firm fixed price Task Order contract to an environmental consulting services contractor. As described in a letter dated February 28, 2013 from the U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC) to the GSA Administrator related to a Whistleblower disclosure (the OSC Letter), a retired GSA employee has made a number of allegations concerning the work environment at the Bannister Federal Complex (BFC) in Kansas City, Missouri. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 1213, OSC requested that GSA investigate the allegations and provide OSC a report on the results of that investigation. The requirements of 5 U.S.C. 1213(d) is found in the Enclosure appended to the OSC Letter which is attached to this SOW. 1.1 SCOPE: The contractor shall produce an investigation report that answers a request made by the U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC) to the Administrator of General Services for GSA to conduct an investigation and to timely submit an agency report to OSC on the subject matter. See attached letter dated February 28, 2013 (OSC Letter). The content of the contractor's report must satisfy the requirements set forth in 5 U.S.C. Sec. 1213(d). Specifically, the contractor will be tasked with conducting an investigation of the allegations raised by a retired GSA employee regarding a hazardous work environment at a federal facility known as the Bannister Federal Complex (BFC) in Kansas City, Missouri. Those allegations are recounted in the OSC Letter and summarized below in Section 2.0, B., Allegations. 2.0 TASKS: The Contractor shall investigate the allegations found in the OSC Letter to determine if they are true in whole or in part, and to determine the potential harm attributable to each of the allegations that have been verified. NOTE: The Government does not expect the Contractor to redo any environmental studies already conducted or conduct any new environmental studies. To begin its investigation and analysis of the allegations, the contractor will first review and analyze all the existing documentation, studies and reports related to environmental hazards at the BFC. The Contractor shall then interview the former GSA employee (the complainant) who initiated the whistleblower disclosure. The contractor will interview other persons knowledgeable about operations at BFC on relevant points. Based on the sum of the information gathered during its investigation, the Contractor will prepare a Report addressing all of the allegations found in the OSC Letter. Specific: A. Existing Environmental Studies and Reports. Several environmental studies of the BFC have been conducted and can be found at this link: http://r6.gsa.gov/bannister/. Additional records and background information concerning the complainant's working conditions at BFC will also be made available in the offices of the GSA Region 6, Kansas City, Missouri. These additional records have been ordered from the Central Processing Center record archives and will be made available upon contract award. The volume additional records are expected to be less than those available at the website above. B. Allegations. In performing the investigation, the contractor shall, at a minimum, investigate and address each of the following particular allegations. (1) In 2011, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) conducted a health hazard evaluation (HHE) at GSA's request in response to concerns about adverse health effects possibly associated with contamination of soil and groundwater by the Plant. The evaluation did not include the Kansas City Plant (the Plant) or its employees, but only those who worked at GSA or a tenant agency other than the Plant. (2) The HHE did not consider a subset of GSA Maintenance and Operations employees, including Plumber-Pipefitters, Electricians, and Air Conditioning Mechanics, who performed work at the Plant (a group which the complainant alleges he was a member). (3) In 1988, a chest x-ray of complainant taken as a part of medical monitoring of employees showed pleural changes, consistent with exposure to hazardous materials. Subsequent chest x-rays in 1989 and 1990 also identified pleural changes. GSA retained a different physician to review chest x-rays, and in 1991, the complainant's reading was normal. Four other Maintenance and Operations employees also had positive readings between 1988 and 1990, and negative readings in 1991. (4) Complainant contends that GSA failed to comply with Occupational Safety & Health Administration regulations contained in Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations, when it accepted the negative findings in the 1991 chest x-rays. He asserts that the abrupt change in findings was the result of the GSA's failure to use an appropriately classified radiologist as required by 29 CFR 1910.1001, Appendix E, and an attempt to negate prior findings indicating the health consequences of exposure to asbestos, beryllium or other toxins. After complainant challenged the 1991 findings, the doctor reading the chest x-rays reviewed his films again and qualified the negative finding, asserting that fat deposits may have caused the pleural changes. Subsequent x-rays in 1992, 1993 and 1994 reflected the positive findings previously identified. (5) Since he retired in 1994, complainant has not been offered testing by GSA. (6) Complainant asserts that current GSA Maintenance and Operations employees are not currently being offered medical monitoring following exposure to asbestos as required by 29 CFR 1926.1101. He stated that employees have been offered only annual pulmonary function tests, rather than the comprehensive physical examinations required by Part 1926. (7) Complainant and approximately 40 other Maintenance and Operations employees worked at the Plant while employed by GSA. These employees worked extensively in the fan rooms, both in the Plant and on the GSA-controlled portion of the site, physically changing large roll filters that captured contaminants. Complainant explains that he worked in fan rooms that were common to both the GSA-controlled portion of the Complex and the Plant. All of the fan rooms at GSA drew outside air into the building from nearby ventilation stacks from the Plant. In addition, Complainant reports that water from the DOE-controlled portion of the site traveled to the GSA-controlled portion, and he and other Maintenance and Operations employees were responsible for pipe repairs occasioned by the breaks or leaks on the DOE-controlled portion of the site. (8) Complainant stated that he and other Maintenance and Operations employees regularly performed maintenance and repairs on the sewage ejection system. The sewage systems for the GSA-controlled portion of the site and the Plant were shared, at least at the level of the pits to which all sewage flowed before being pumped up and out of the facility. Thus, contaminants disposed of at the Plant, including, for example, the chemical residue from barrel-washing operations, were washed into common pits, which were then pumped to the street level. When a sewage backup occurred, potentially contaminated sewage was released into the GSA-controlled side. (9) Complainant reports that the agency has not taken sufficient action to protect employees from the hazards known to exist at the Complex. Such actions include notifying employees of the potential for exposure, and providing a medical surveillance program for all employees who were exposed at or above a permissible exposure limit. (10) In contrast to the comprehensive medical surveillance program in place for DOE employees and former employees who worked at the Plant, GSA has not established a comprehensive medical monitoring program for its own employees. Nor are GSA employees who worked at the Plant recognized as a Special Cohort eligible for compensation for illness caused by their employment under the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation program, despite their exposure to the same contaminants that affected Plant employees. Many of the Maintenance and Operations employees who worked at the Plant have since died. (11) None of the investigations, audits, or evaluations performed by GSA, DOE, and NIOSH examined the potential exposures of GSA employees who performed work at the Plant. The GSA OIG investigation found that "...prior to 2010, [GSA] did not have a strong environmental management program for the Complex," and "without a comprehensive historical perspective, there is insufficient evidence to conclude that occupants at the Complex were not exposed to hazardous toxins." The GSA OIG review concentrated on the time period 1999 through 2010. No historical review or investigation of employee health hazards has been completed for the time period prior to 1999. Complainant asserts that such a review is necessary in order to establish the exposures GSA employees may have experienced as a result of the cross-contamination from the Plant, as well as from working on Plant equipment on DOE-controlled property. 2.2 Deliverables: The contractor shall provide a "draft final" and final report. *** SEE THE NOTICE POSTED AT FBO.GOV FOR THE FULL TEXT OF THE STATEMENT OF WORK AND ATTACHMENTS A THROUGH E. *** ALL QUOTES MUST BE RECEIVED VIA E-MAIL NOT LATER THAN 10 MAY 2013 03:00 PM EST.

SOURCES SOUGHT ANNOUNCEMENT FOR RISK ASSESSMENT SUPPORT (SRCSGT)
SOL: SSA-ORCR-2013
DUE: 051313
POC: Rayna Brown, Contracting Officer, brown.rayna@epa.gov.
WEB: FBO.gov Permalink at https://www.fbo.gov/spg/EPA/OAM/HQ/SSA-ORCR-2013/listing.html
NAICS: 541620. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is issuing this Sources Sought Announcement (SSA) to gain knowledge of potential qualified sources and their size classifications relative to NAICS code 541620 - Environmental Consulting Services (size standard of $14.0M). EPA REQUESTS DEMONSTRATION OF CAPABILITY BY INTERESTED SMALL BUSINESS FIRMS THROUGH SUBMITTAL OF A CAPABILITY STATEMENT. In addition to the SSA, EPA requests all interested parties (whether submitting a capability statement or not) to add their company information to the "Interested Vendors List" tab associated with this notice on FedBizOpps. However, adding a company's name to the interested vendors list only is not sufficient for making a determination on qualified small businesses, therefore you are highly encouraged to submit a capability statement. The information received will be utilized to assist in formulating a strategy for competitive procurements. Electing not to submit a capability statement does not preclude a company from submitting an offer under any resulting solicitation, if a solicitation is issued, nor will it impact the evaluation of an offer that did not submit a capability statement. Description: The Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery (ORCR) is potentially seeking to acquire advisory and assistance type services for providing the contractual support necessary for the assessment of potential risks and other impacts associated with the generation and management of materials originating in households and businesses, industrial process materials and residues, and management of municipal and industrial solid wastes. Services will require the assessment of potential risks, benefits, costs, economic impacts, and other effects associated with the generation and management of hazardous and non-hazardous waste and hazardous substances. The technical support requirements are designed to help ORCR meet resource conservation, protection, and corrective action goals. The existence of potential Organizational conflict of interest (COI) is anticipated; therefore any solicitation, resulting contract or orders under the contract will contain the appropriate COI provisions and clauses. Situations may occur where access to confidential business information (CBI) and/or any other sensitive information is necessary and any solicitation, resulting contract or orders under the contract will contain the appropriate CBI provisions and clauses. Currently, EPA administers one (1) risk assessment support contract. Additional information regarding this requirement can be located in EPA's Forecast Database at http://yosemite1.epa.gov/oarm/oam/forecastdatabase.nsf. The Government anticipates a single contract award to fulfill this requirement for up to 5 years. The level of effort required on an annual basis under the proposed contract is anticipated to fluctuate based on many independent factors including amount of work required, programmatic budget changes, changes in agency priorities, and activities typically associated with the nature of the services to be provided (e.g. court-ordered deadlines). The Government anticipates a need for the following broadly estimated levels of effort (LOE) per contract year in terms of direct labor hours: For Contract Years 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, an approximate Level of Effort (direct labor hours) for each year of 20,000 hours. Place of Performance: Contractor's facility. Performance Work Statement: A draft Risk Assessment statement of work (SOW) is attached to the notice posted at FBO.gov. Capability Statement: The Government requests demonstration of capability by small business firms interested in performing this requirement as a prime contractor through submittal of a capability statement. All capability statements shall: 1. Include company name, address, DUNS, phone and principal owners including partners, subcontractors and/or joint venture arrangements. 2. Include business classification(s): (Small business, 8(a), HUBZone, small disadvantaged business [SDB], service-disabled veteran-owned small business [SDVOSB], women-owned small business [WOSB], and economically disadvantaged women-owned small business [EDWOSB]) in your submission based on the NAICS in this announcement. 3. State the (a) average number of employees of the concern; (b) average annual receipts based on the last 3 fiscal years; (c) other current business commitments (i.e., contracts, etc.); and (d) a description of the concern's accounting system for estimating and accumulating costs under cost-reimbursement contracts and whether or not those system(s) have been audited and/or approved by any Government agency. Additionally, indicate if the concern's accounting system can support hybrid contract types, for instance both cost reimbursement and fixed price or any combination of contract types. 4. Include specific examples of work previously performed in all task areas described in the draft SOW within the past three years. Experience as a subcontractor, partner, joint venture, or key personnel is considered in the same manner as primary experience. Include reference(s) for each example.
5. Include detailed, documented proof of your company's past experience and/or capability to perform all task areas described in the draft SOW at the estimated level of effort for this requirement. 6. Demonstrate the management capability, corporate structure, and financial capability to meet the needs of the estimated level of effort and scope of this requirement. Note that any resulting solicitation under set-aside procedures will include FAR 52.219-14 Limitation on Subcontracting. 7. Not exceed 10 single-sided pages in length based on font size of no smaller than an 11 point pitch on 8.5" x 11" size pages with margins no less than 1" for the left, right, top and bottom excluding a cover page. Only emailed submissions permitted. The submission shall be a searchable PDF file format (a single file) that can be printed on 8.5" x 11" size paper and free from viruses or password protections. The Government is not responsible for receipt of corrupted files and therefore will not attempt to recover the file. 8. The Government will only consider information towards market research that falls within the page limitations/restrictions and disregard the remaining pages. 9. Avoid use of excessive marketing lexicon, submission of fancy brochures, unnecessary sales literature, and product puffery. 10. What existing contract(s) or source(s) (e.g. GSA, GWACs) is your company on that would support performing the entire services outlined in the draft SOW for the full performance period?
Submission Information: The Government intends to consider all comments and the responsive qualification packages when developing its final acquisition strategy and resulting solicitation. The synopsis, amendments and other information related to this SSA, as well as any subsequent acquisition notifications, will be posted via FedBizOpps (www.fbo.gov) and the EPA website (www.epa.gov/oam/srpod/index.htm). All information related to this acquisition will be available at these sites through the date of any award.

NAICS: 541712. The purpose of this sources sought notice is for market research purposes to determine if capable, qualified small businesses relative to North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 541712 – Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (Except Biotechnology) (size standard of 500 employees) possess the capability to support the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) National Computational Center for Toxicology (NCCT) Bioactivity Profiling of the ToxCast Compound Library requirement. Responses to this sources sought notice shall not constitute responses to any solicitation. As stipulated in FAR 15.201, responses to this notice are not considered offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. No solicitation exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. The Government’s evaluation of the capability statements received may factor into whether any forthcoming solicitation will be conducted as a full and open competition or as a set-aside for small businesses, or any particular small business designation. DESCRIPTION: EPA requires contractor support to use appropriate rapid, high throughput methods on sets of dozens to hundreds of industrial compounds from the growing ToxCast library for exposure relevant measurements. The contractor shall provide exposure relevant measurement of chemical properties, emissions, and/or occurrence for the ToxCast Compound Library. A minimum capacity of 10 chemicals per week is necessary. The EPA will select compounds for evaluation in a minimum of 10 samples and a maximum of 10,000 samples per task order. Of special interest are: 1) Data on physicochemical properties (VP, Kow, Koa, Henry’s Law constant, half lives in environmental media- both indoor and ambient) for refinement of QSAR calculators and expansion into new regions of chemical space; 2) Data on chemical constituents of and emission rates from sentinel household products, materials and articles; 3) Screening for chemical occurrence in products (e.g., personal care, cleaning, etc), environmental media (e.g., indoor air, house dust, water) and biological media (e.g., serum, urine, blood spot). This effort will support NCCT, Office of Research and Development (ORD), Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. CAPABILITY STATEMENT: To help determine if this potential requirement may be set-aside for small business concerns, the government is seeking input from the small business community regarding their interest and capability in performing the tasks reflected in the draft Performance Work Statement (PWS). The Government requests demonstration of capability by interested parties through submittal of capability statements. The Government will evaluate the qualifications of interested parties based on their responses regarding capability of performing the draft Performance Work Statement. The Government intends to consider all relevant comments and the responsive capability statements when developing its final acquisition strategy and resulting RFP(s).
