The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Office of Research and Development (ORD), National Exposure Research Laboratory (NERL), has a requirement for technical support in the general research areas of the atmospheric sciences and human exposure assessment. Research is conducted in NERL to characterize pollutant exposures across the whole exposure assessment paradigm, from pollutant source to the exposed person or receptor. Work is performed in the areas of source identification and characterization; transport, transformation, and fate of pollutants; atmospheric chemistry and physics; source apportionment; exposure measurements; biomonitoring; exposure and dose modeling; and methods development. Work in these research areas may, for example, include development and evaluation of sampling and analysis methods for measurements of chemicals in multiple media (e.g., air, water, food, dust, soil, biological); performance of multi-media, multi-pathway (e.g., inhalation, ingestion, and dermal) environmental and human exposure research studies; development, evaluation, and/or application of human activity methods; performance of experiments in the areas of atmospheric chemistry and physics; performance of aerosol studies; work on Federal Reference and Equivalent Methods; and other similar research. This work includes statistics and modeling. This research is conducted in state-of-the-art facilities located at the EPA campus in Research Triangle Park, NC and at other locations in support of EPA laboratories and field studies. The current contract is EPD05065 which was awarded to Alion Sciences with a max value of $55,187,314. The intent of this sources sought notice is to determine if any small business(s) exist with the capabilities necessary to provide these services, and therefore, no solicitation (RFP) is available. The NAICS Code 541712 applies with a small business size standard of 500 employees. Interested parties who can meet the above requirement may submit their technical data with a written qualification statement no later than 15 days after the date of this publication. Consequently, any response failing to provide the aforementioned data and instead choosing to merely submit a routine letter requesting a copy of the RFP will be ignored. A draft copy of the statement of work listed under ?Sources Sought? will be available via the Internet http://www.epa.gov/oam/rtp_cmd.
