How to bid on Phase 2 Remediation Services at the PR-58 site for the Dept of the Army
What the Army Corps of Engineers is buying
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District, is seeking small businesses to perform Phase 2 environmental remediation services at the PR-58 site in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. This work involves cleaning up contaminated groundwater, specifically targeting chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs) throughout a 44-acre dissolved phase plume.
The project's goal is to make the site suitable for unlimited use and unrestricted exposure in the long term. The remediation will use in-situ dechlorination bioremediation methods, including In-situ Reductive Dechlorination (ISCR), Enhanced In-situ Bioremediation (EISB) through biostimulation and bioaugmentation, and Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA). This is an opportunity for environmental cleanup firms to engage with a significant government contract, potentially leading to a single award task order contract with a capacity of up to $20 million over a five-year ordering period.
Key dates and what happens next
This is a Sources Sought announcement, also known as a Request for Information (RFI). Your response is due by August 14, 2026, at 1:00 PM Eastern Time. This RFI helps the government determine interest and capabilities for future acquisition decisions.
A formal solicitation is planned for around January 2027, with a contract award anticipated in January 2028. Responding to this RFI is not a guarantee of a solicitation, but it allows the government to assess the market before issuing a formal Request for Proposal (RFP).
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for small businesses, including 8(a), HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, and Women-Owned concerns, that specialize in environmental remediation. The relevant NAICS code is 562910, Environmental Remediation Services, with a 1,000-employee size standard.
Firms with documented experience in bioremediation, particularly ISCR, EISB (biostimulation and bioaugmentation), and MNA, will find this opportunity aligns with their expertise. Experience with complex sites and dissolved phase groundwater plumes is also highly relevant.
How to respond to this RFI
To respond, you must submit a capabilities package via email to Contract Specialist Kayla Gonsalves at [email protected]. Do not make telephone calls or appointments.
Your package should include your business classification (e.g., HUBZone, small business), documentation of relevant project experience, and details of your project team. For project experience, highlight projects demonstrating success with bioremediation, specifically ISCR, EISB, Biotic and Abiotic Treatment, and MNA, indicating whether your firm was the prime or a subcontractor. If using subcontractors, include their experience and qualifications. The entire response is limited to twenty pages.
Practical tips for preparing your response
Focus your capabilities package on directly addressing the specific remediation methods mentioned: In-situ Chemical Reduction (ISCR), Enhanced In-situ Bioremediation (EISB), and Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA). Provide concrete examples of past projects where your firm successfully applied these techniques.
Clearly state your small business designation and any other relevant certifications. If you plan to team with subcontractors, ensure their experience also aligns with the required remediation techniques and clearly outline their roles. Adhere strictly to the twenty-page limit and ensure your email submission is sent before the deadline.
