Cleanup

Performance-Based Acquisitions (PBA), formerly known as Performance-Based Contracting (PBC), is a contracting mechanism that requires the contractor to achieve specific remediation objectives, for a fixed price, based on a detailed scope of work. Additionally, the contractor may buy insurance to cover additional costs that may occur if the cleanup expenditures exceed the contract award. Not all cleanups require insurance.
