The Department of Energy plans to hold Oct. 28-29 a pre-solicitation conference, site tour and industry one-on-one sessions for the new contract to manage Nuclear Regulatory Commission-licensed facilities at the Idaho site. The new contract, which is being set aside for small businesses, would cover the Fort St. Vrain facility; the Three Mile Island-2 (TMI-2) ISFSI facility at the Idaho Nuclear Technology and Engineering Center (INTEC) in Idaho; and the Idaho Spent Fuel Facility (ISFF) license. The new contract is set to be a firm-fixed-price contract that includes a cost reimbursable contract line item (CLIN), and it is expected to run for up to five years, consisting of a four-year base period and a one-year option period.
