The Energy Department late Tuesday announced issuance of a draft request for proposals for a contract that could be worth up to $4 billion over 10 years to provide various support services to the Hanford nuclear cleanup site in Washington state.
The incumbent contract is held by Mission Support Alliance, a partnership of Leidos, Jacobs Engineering, and Centerra Group. The current contract expires on May 25, 2019.
DOE indicated the contract would emphasize cost-plus-award fee line items. The draft RFP calls for “full and open” competition and stipulates that significant work should be carried out by small businesses. The department plans to hold a pre-solicitation conference and site tour during the week of Dec. 11.
The Energy Department will use input on this draft RFP in preparing a final proposal document. The Hanford Mission Essential Services Contract, as it’s known, includes services ranging from security, land management, and information technology to management of the Hazardous Material Management and Emergency Response (HAMMER) training facility. It also includes potential water, sewer, and other utility upgrades to support the Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant at Hanford.
