The task order is worth up to $45 million and comes from the U.S. Air Force Center for Engineering and the Environment under its WERC09 contract for performance-based services.
The initial funded award amount is $18.7 million, with options totaling another $26.7 million over the next nine years.
"With this important project, Versar continues its long-standing tradition of providing quality environmental services to the Air Force," said Versar Chief Executive Officer Tony Otten.

Versar's major teaming members are CH2MHill and Battelle Memorial Institute. The team will perform environmental cleanup at 34 sites across the base, with the goal of achieving closure at 13 sites, making them eligible for unrestricted future land use.
