R--BPA Recompete for ASTM Participating Membership

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) intends to award a sole source Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) to ASTM International for an EPA membership grouping in ASTM. This membership will support EPA's Office of Administrator participation in the ASTM Board of Directors and the participation of staff from various EPA Offices and Regions in ASTM technical committees and subcommittees. The services provided by ASTM and the benefits to the Agency include the development of standards related to EPA's mission. • The EPA membership grouping currently includes over 40 EPA staff participating in ASTM technical committees and subcommittees. • The EPA anticipates that there will be more EPA staff included in the EPA membership grouping in future years. • The Office of Administrator's intent is to continue EPA's participation in the ASTM Board of Directors and to continue to support the participation of staff from various EPA Offices and Regions in ASTM technical committees and subcommittees.
