The Department of Energy said yesterday that within a month it will issue the final Request for Proposals for disposal of low-level radioactive waste across the complex. In a pre-solicitation notice, DOE said it plans to award one or more five-year Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contracts. “Each IDIQ contract will be for multiple selected types of waste and more than one contractor may receive a contract for permanent disposal of a specific waste type,” DOE wrote in the notice. “The maximum quantity will be based upon the maximum quantity specified for each type of waste.”
