Company Will Analyze Chemical
Hazards and Environmental Stressors
RESTON,
Va., May 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently awarded a human
health and environmental risk assessment contract to global
consulting and technology services provider ICF (NASDAQ:ICFI). The
single-award indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ)
contract was awarded by EPA's Office of Research and Development in
the first quarter of 2024. This recompete award has a ceiling value
of $75 million and a term of seven
years.
ICF will bring together industry-leading health and
environmental expertise to deliver assessments of chemical hazards
and other environmental stressors identified as national priorities
to determine the impact they may have on people, communities and
the environment. As part of this work, ICF will use cutting-edge
technologies and data analysis tools, including Litstream®, their
proprietary software that leverages machine learning, to conduct
systematic literature review. ICF will also develop novel methods,
guidelines and models for future health analyses, including
cumulative impact assessments.
"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."
Since 2011, ICF has supported EPA in evaluating over 2,200
chemicals for risks to human health and the environment. In the
second half of 2023, ICF was awarded $33
million in task orders to perform additional chemical risk
assessment work.
ICF uses the power of science to help clients make informed
decisions and better protect public health. The company's over 150
environmental health experts—health and data scientists,
toxicologists, epidemiologists, microbiologists, researchers,
statisticians and more—identify, collect, manage, evaluate, model
and interpret scientific data to produce broad-based analyses that
stand up to intense scrutiny and establish a solid foundation for
