NAICS: 541620. The U.S. Postal Service is conducting market research to review potential supplier capabilities related
to requirements for National Environmental Compliance Professional and Technical Services (NECPTS). It is anticipated
that following a prequalification process, a formal solicitation would be issued to those firms exhibiting a high degree of
capability for the services being sought. The ensuing contract is envisioned to be an IDIQ type with an overall
five-year period of performance (i.e., a two-year base period with three one-year options). The services included
under the ensuing NECPTS contracts would be the required USPS source for planned (i.e., not emergency)
environmental compliance services associated with operational compliance activities. This RFI is for market research
and planning purposes and provides an opportunity for those firms interested in becoming NECPTS suppliers to provide
their capability statements to support the USPS in this role. This RFI does not in any way constitute an RFP, and
responses to the RFI cannot be accepted by USPS to form a binding contract. Please identify any proprietary
information submitted. All information submitted will be held in a confidential status. See the attachment to the notice
at FBO.gov for details. RESPONSES TO THIS SOURCES SOUGHT MUST BE RECEIVED BY OCTOBER 17, 2014, NO LATER

NAICS: 562910. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is issuing this Sources Sought/Request for
Information (SS/RFI) as a means of conducting market research to identify capable parties having an interest in the
Remedial Environmental Services (RES) portion of the Superfund Remedial Acquisition Framework (RAF). This RES
SS/RFI is in addition to the Sources Sought/Request for Information - Superfund Remedial Acquisition Framework
(RAF) posting dated February 27, 2014, under SOL-R3-13-00006. As explained in the SS/RFI for the RAF, full service
Remedial Action Contracts (RACs) will no longer be used to deliver Superfund remedial program requirements.
Instead, requirements will be met with three (3) different suites of contracts: (1) Design and Engineering Services
(DES) (RFP# SOL-HQ-00022) contractors will perform professional services of a scientific, architecture and engineering
nature for remedial investigations, feasibility studies; remedial designs; and general technical assistance; (2)
Remediation Environmental Services (RES) (RFP# SOL-HQ-00023) contracts are explained in detail below. (3)
Environmental Services and Operations (ESO) (RFP# SOL-R1-14-00003) contracts will be for EPA-lead remedy
operation (e.g., groundwater restoration and source treatment activities) and technical oversight of the environmental
remediation work being financed and performed by another federal agency, state, tribe, or potentially responsible
parties. These contracts will also be used to provide general technical assistance and support. The primary purpose of
the contracts awarded under the RAF will be to provide national support through multiple award contracts to the EPA
remedial program and its responsibilities under CERCLA, the Superfund Act of 1980, as amended by SARA; the Robert
T. Stafford Natural Disaster Act pursuant to the Federal Response Plan (FRP); and other laws to help address and/or
mitigate endangerment to public health, welfare or the environment during emergencies and natural disasters. The
purpose is also to support states, tribal governments, local governments, and communities in preparing for and
responding to releases of hazardous substances, pollutants, and contaminants. These contracts may also be used to
support other EPA programs and perhaps federal agencies requiring similar services (e.g., Federal Facilities program,
Superfund removal program, Brownfields program, etc.). This SS/RFI only pertains to the Remedial Environmental

proposed process. Based on the responses to this SS/RFI, the RES requirement may be set-aside for small businesses,
procured through full and open competition, or a combination of both. EPA will determine the number and distribution
of contracts based on the Agency's requirements and the vendors' technical capabilities, including geographic coverage
of those technical capabilities. SUBMIT THE RESPONSES REQUIRED IN PART 2 OF THIS SS/RFI BY 5:00 PM EDT ON

(ESO) (SOL-R1-14-00003) contracts are explained in detail below. Questions have been raised to the EPA regarding
the differences between the DES and ESO contract requirements and how they will be used by the EPA Superfund
Remedial program. The DES contract is acquiring professional architect and engineering services under FAR Part 36
and the Brooks Act. These professional services will be used to deliver activities that require this expertise, which
include remedial investigation/feasibility studies, remedial designs, treatability studies, and some oversight of
environmental remediation work provided by responsible parties, other federal agencies, states, and tribes where
professional services are necessary. The ESO contract is acquiring services under FAR Part 15. The contracts will
primarily be used to operate remedies (e.g., groundwater pump and treat systems) and provide a majority of the
oversight of environmental remediation work provided by responsible parties, other federal agencies, states, and
tribes. The ESO Statement of Work (SOW) also contains work areas that would typically be handled under the DES
contract, but do not require the professional architecture and engineering services acquired under Part 36. This SS/RFI

wishing to submit a draft SF 330 via the FedConnect electronic submittal system must do so by 5 pm ET, October 22,
2014. These submittals will not be evaluated for award. If vendors prefer not to submit a draft SF 330 through
FedConnect, they are still encouraged to test the Microsoft Access SF 330 form. Vendors should submit any
questions/concerns regarding the SF 330 form or the technical instructions for the form to the Contracting Officer prior
to the upcoming DES final announcement and request for official SF 330s. A final announcement requesting official
submission of the SF 330 will be made in the near future. EPA requires professional architect and engineering (A&E)
services to support remedial planning and oversight activities for Regions 1 through 10. The DES procurement for
professional A&E services is subject to the Brooks Act, 40 U.S.C. 1101 et. seq., and its implementing regulations at
FAR Part 36.6. To be considered for award, offerors must submit SF 330s, as directed in the final published

NAICS: 541620. US EPA intends to procure on a sole source basis with Cedarville Engineering Group, LLC for the
following services: soil taxonomic, site characterization, soil hydrologic measures, and basic fertility chemical analysis
on samples taken by the contractor in multiple urban sites. The soils extracted for sampling will require identification to
the lowest possible taxonomic level, using a range of soil taxonomic classifications. This research will provide more
specific data to be used in a report titled "Urban Soil Taxonomic Descriptions and Characterization of Soil Properties
Applied to the Sustainable Use of Vacant Land" for EPA's Office of Research and Development, National Risk
Management Research Laboratory, which was initiated under a separate order awarded to Cedarville Engineering
Group, LLC. The nature of the acquisition requires a contractor that possesses the unique capability of handling all
phases of urban soil site characterization, soil hydrologic measures, indentifying soils to a taxonomic resolution and
quality that is consistent with samples collected in previous years and to carry out basic chemical/fertility (texture,
organic matter, CEC, etc.) laboratory analysis. This includes handling all administrative tasks (site selection in
collaboration with EPA, right of access, permissions) related to site work in urban core areas, including Cleveland OH,
Detroit MI, Omaha NE, Philadelphia PA, and the Pacific Islands (including Hawaii). The necessity for this variety of sites
across the country allows a cross section of soil types to be analyzed. Cedarville Engineering Group, LLC has unique
capabilities that are specific to the taxonomic(s) for conducting site soils identification. Cedarville Engineering Group,
LLC has experience with the exact nature of this work based upon its experience in the urban soil taxonomic
classifications based upon previous contracts with the US EPA. No other contractor is known to have the experience
and required expertise in this collaborative effort for gathering data that will be of use to the urban environment for
meeting the challenge requested by EPA's Regional Office under Consent Decrees for reducing stormwater flow to/and
within their communities. THIS NOTICE IS NOT A REQUEST FOR QUOTATIONS. However, any firm that believes it is
capable of meeting this EPA requirement must submit technical documentation to establish its assertion. This
documentation must be submitted to the POC within 15 days of the electronic posting of this notice via
FedConnect.net. Telephone requests will not be honored. A determination not to compete the proposed requirement
based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of EPA. Information received will normally be
considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement or to proceed on a
sole source basis. The anticipated award date is November 1, 2014, with a period of performance from December 1,
2014 through December 30, 2015.

NAICS: 541712. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) in Washington, DC,
intends to award a Purchase Order to the International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements (ICRU),
under the authority of FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The purpose of this purchase order is to subsidize
ICRU to identify international experts and convene a working group of those experts who will work with EPA, the
Department of Energy (DOE), and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to identify the myriad of measurements
necessary to respond and recover from a large scale nuclear incident. It is EPA's intent that the culmination of these
efforts with ICRU, DOE, and NRC result in an ICRU publication that is available to the public and international
community concerned with such matters. The anticipated period of performance is October 2014 - June 2016. ICRU is a
501(c) (3) nonprofit, nongovernmental organization (NGO) that has as its objective the development of internationally
acceptable recommendations regarding quantities and units of radiation and radioactivity. ICRU is uniquely positioned
to convene international experts with direct experience in responding to the Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear power
plant accidents. It has been determined that ICRU is particularly well suited to address the question of what
measurements are required to answer critical questions following a radiological incident accompanied by large releases
of radioactivity into the global environment. The NAICS code for this procurement is 541712. NO SOLICITATION OR
