The Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management (EM) on Monday issued a request for proposals for a technical services support contract for its Portsmouth/Paducah Project Office.
The RPF is a small-business set aside for an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract line item number with a maximum value of services of $40 million. It covers cybersecurity, information-technology support services, quality assurance oversight, and other missions for the DOE EM office that oversees cleanup of gaseous diffusion plants at Paducah, Ky., and Portsmouth, Ohio.
Three separate companies now provide these services: Professional Project Services (Pro2Serve), Restoration Services, and Strategic Management Solutions. All three received three-year base deals with two single-year options, with their contracts expiring at different points in 2018. The value of the current contracts are, according to a DOE presolicitation presentation in April: $45.6 million for Paducah technical services by Pro2Serve; $53.1 million for Portsmouth engineering and technical support II by Restoration Services; and $38.9 million for Lexington oversight and technical services by Strategic Management Solutions.
All three companies sent representatives to the presolicitation conference for the contract, along with firms including Spectra Tech, Stoller Newport News Nuclear, LATA Inc., Longenecker & Associates, and Booz Allen Hamilton.
DOE said during the presolicitation conference that it expected the procurement process would result in one contract award.
The Office of Environmental Management Consolidated Business Center will accept solicitations through Aug. 31, care of contracting officer Carin Boyd.
