After Challenge, DOE Suspends LANL Natural Resources Damage Assessment Procurement

By ExchangeMonitor

The Department of Energy has suspended a small business procurement for a Natural Resources Damage Assessment and Restoration Plan for Los Alamos National Laboratory pending the outcome of a challenge to the size standard used. The firm Environment International Ltd. filed the appeal of the 500 person size standard to the Small Business Administration in late November, and DOE suspended the procurement this week. Proposals had been due on Jan. 5. The assessment and plan come out of a 2008 effort by local stakeholders, who called for it after the release of hazardous materials at the site.
