The Department of Energy has awarded a contract up to $74.8 million to a women-owned small business in Richland, Wash. to provide professional support services at the DOE’s Oak Ridge, Tenn. nuclear environmental cleanup site.
The DOE’s Office of Environmental Management (EM) announced the contract with the company, Independent Strategic Management Solutions, Inc. (ISMSolutions), in an April 24 press release. The company was selected due to its past performances, personnel, organization and staffing approach and value to taxpayers, DOE said.
ISMSolutions is a management and technical consulting company that specializes in nuclear weapon production, nuclear engineering and operations and environmental cleanup. It was founded by Shirley Olinger, a former manager of the DOE Hanford Office of River Protection.
Through the contract, ISMSolutions will provide professional services for the Oak Ridge Office of Environmental Management such as assistance in oversight activities, corrective action management and other services listed in the press release.
ISMSolutions’s contract will include a three-year base period and two one-year option periods. The current technical, management and administrative services contract is held by Link Technologies, Inc., based in Maryland. Its current contract expires on May 31 and will be replaced by ISMSolutions.
The DOE previously awarded a five-year multiple award, $350+ Blanket Purchase Agreement, that allows ISMSolutions to provide support services at the DOE Hanford site.
