The Department of Energy took a small step toward competing the Brookhaven National Laboratory contract yesterday, unveiling a website for the procurement. DOE has not released any information about its plans for the contract since issuing a sources sought notice in April, but it is believed to be crafting a draft Request for Proposals that is likely to be released before the end of the year.

In the April Sources Sought notice, DOE said a competition for the new contract would “result in improved contractor performance and cost efficiencies at BNL.” The website can be found at http://bnlcompetition.science.energy.gov.
