The Department of Energy plans to issue in the next 15-30 days a draft Request for Proposals for the new Carlsbad technical and administrative support services contract, according to a notice released yesterday. The new contract is anticipated to be set aside for small businesses that meet a size standard of 500 employees, and is set to run for up to five years, consisting of a one-year base period and four one-year option periods. The contract is intended to provide quality assurance (QA), audit, surveillance, technical oversight, and executive management support services to the DOE Carlsbad Field Office, which oversees the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant. According to yesterday’s notice, DOE “tentatively anticipates” issuing a final RFP for the contract “in or around” the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2015, with an award to be made “in or around” the third quarter of FY 2015.
