DOE Issues Draft RFP for LLW and MLW Treatment Contracts

The Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management late last week issued a Draft Request for Proposals for low-level waste and mixed-low level waste treatment services. The current set of Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contracts for waste treatment services ends in June 2015. DOE intends to issue one or more Basic Ordering Agreements in the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2015, with a five-year period of performance using competitive firm-fixed price task orders issued against the treatment BOA. According to the notice, DOE is looking for a contractor to provide services for the treatment of LLW and MLLW, but may also include “Treatment Storage Disposal Facility (TSDF) Authorized Release for Directed Disposal including Bulk Survey for Release (BSFR), Restricted and Unrestricted Recycling/Reuse, Low Activity Waste (LAW) Services, Ancillary Services, and support in establishing authorized release limits,” the notice said. Feedback and proposed changes are due by Nov. 21.
