The Energy Department’s Office of Environmental Management has extended the deadline from July 20 to Aug. 3 for prospective vendors to submit bids on a consolidated technical support services contract.
After issuing the request for proposals on June 7, DOE last week announced an amendment to the document that extends the deadline. The indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract would cover Environmental Management headquarters in Washington, D.C., and other sites operated by the nuclear cleanup office.
The solicitation seeks to consolidate more than a dozen technical support services contracts. The five-year deal would have a maximum value of $49.5 million.
The DOE’s Environmental Management Consolidated Business Center on June 21 and June 28 posted two rounds of questions and answers about the solicitation
Among other things, DOE clarified the RFP is a set-aside for section 8(a) small businesses. In response to a question, DOE defined a “major subcontractor” as one doing at least $2 million of work on the contract.
The Energy Department has said the contract could be awarded in December. The RFP indicates the winning bidder will provide technical support services covering a wide gamut of work, including project management, communications, security, safety, emergency preparation, construction, decommissioning, and demolition.
