(vii) Proposed Source: THE GORDIAN GROUP, INC., UEI: DFAEDF67P941 In accordance with RFO FAR 12.102(a), the Government has determined that only one source is available to satisfy this requirement. The Gordian Group, Inc. is uniquely qualified because its RSMeans data is the industry standard cost data currently used by EPA’s hazardous waste cost estimation tool. The data provides the comprehensive and detailed pricing information necessary to support EPA’s closure and post closure cost estimates and is formatted for integration with EPA’s existing tools. EPA’s market research identified other sources however, those sources either did not provide the complete range and level of detail required or provided data in formats that are not compatible with EPA’s existing cost estimation methodology. Use of another source would require significant modification or rebuilding of existing EPA tools, resulting in duplicative costs, delays, and potential inconsistencies in EPA’s cost estimates. (viii) Not applicable. (d) Timing. Responses to this notice and/or capability statement submissions must be received by September 18, 2026, NLT 4:30 PM EDT.
