222-S Hanford Lab Contract Proposal Due Date Extended to Aug. 7

The Department of Energy has extended the due date for proposals in the Hanford 222-S Laboratory Analysis and Testing Services procurement from July 17 to Aug. 7, according to an amendment posted yesterday. The new 222-S lab contract, which is being set-aside for small businesses, is set to run for up to five years, consisting of a two-year base period and three one-year option periods, and would cover an estimated 15,000 to 25,000 laboratory analyses each year. DOE released the final RFP for the procurement in June. The new contract is set to be a hybrid type, with Fixed-Price with Award Fee, Labor-Hour, and Cost Reimbursement Contract Line Items (CLINS). The current 222-S Laboratory contract, held by Advanced Technologies and Laboratories, is all cost-reimbursable. ATL is in the final year of its contract, and the Department expects to award the new contract in 2015.
