Description

The United States Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Acquisition Management (OAM) will issue a solicitation supporting the Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response(OSWER), Outreach and Special Projects Staff (OSPS). OSPS serves as the focal point in the management and implementation of the response portion of the Brownfields Program. OSPS's mission is supported by numerous offices throughout the Agency (e.g., Office of General Counsel and Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance). OSPS expects this contract to serve other outside offices (e.g., Federal Facilities Restoration and Reuse Office). OSWER plays a vital role in the Brownfields Initiative under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) (42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq.), enacted on December 11, 1980, and amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA). The Brownfields Initiative is designed to empower States, cities, Tribes, communities, and other stakeholders in economic redevelopment to work together in a timely manner to prevent, assess, safely clean up, and sustainably reuse brownfields. Brownfields are abandoned, idled, or under-used industrial and commercial facilities where expansion or redevelopment is complicated by real or perceived environmental contamination.
