ICF won a human health and environmental risk assessment contract with the Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Research and Development.
The single-award indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract is a recompete award, has a ceiling value of $75 million and a term of seven years.
“For over 30 years, ICF has supported EPA’s risk assessment programs, helping the agency develop a scientifically defensible understanding of the complex interrelationship between people and nature,” said Jennifer Welham, ICF senior vice president for health, people and human services. “We look forward to continue providing research and data modeling and analysis tools to further protect human health and the environment, as well as help the agency meet their environmental justice goals.”
ICF will deliver assessments of chemical hazards and other environmental stressors identified as national priorities to determine the impact they have on people, communities and the environment.
To do so, ICF will use cutting-edge technologies and data analysis tools, including Litstream, its proprietary software that uses machine learning to conduct systematic literature review. ICF will also develop methods, guidelines and models for future health analyses.
Since 2011, ICF has supported EPA in evaluating over 2,200 chemicals for risks to human health and the environment, the company said. In 2023, ICF won $33 million in task orders to perform additional chemical risk assessment work.
