The Department of Energy could issue draft solicitations for key contracts at the Paducah Site in Kentucky and the Portsmouth Site in Ohio as soon as July, according to a recent notice.
The DOE Office of Environmental Management said last month draft requests for proposals (RFPs) could come as early as July for Paducah environmental cleanup and site services at Portsmouth.
Those are the only draft or final RFPs the DOE Office of Environmental Management expects to issue by September, according to the special notice that appeared online last month.
The current Paducah Decontamination and Decommissioning contract is a $1.7-billion agreement held by Four Rivers Nuclear Partnership that is now set to expire in June, according to a DOE Environmental Management contract chart.
North Wind Dynamics is the incumbent Portsmouth Infrastructure Support Services provider. The North Wind Group company won the landlord services contract in September 2021. The contract is now valued at $164 million, according to the same contract chart mentioned above. If all DOE extensions are picked up, North Wind would stay on the job at least through September 2026.
The Paducah remediation contract started in June 2017. Four Rivers is a joint venture led by Jacobs (now merged with Amentum) and other members are Fluor and BWX Technologies. DOE could exercise an option to keep Four Rivers in place into mid-2027.
