Firm Lands DOE Contract to Help Plan for Shipment Accidents

By ExchangeMonitor

The Energy Department’s Office of Environmental Management has awarded a potential five-year, $4.5 million contract to a firm to assist with its Transportation Emergency Preparedness Program.

The Environmental Management office on Monday announced the award to Technical Resources Group to help prepare a response to a transportation accident involving radioactive materials being shipped to or from an agency site. The contract calls for the vendor to support federal, state, tribal, and local authorities.

The time and materials contract has a three-year base period, followed by two one-year options. An Internet search indicated Technical Resources Group is a woman-owned company based out of Idaho Falls, Idaho, that provides hazardous materials training and various other services. Technical Resources Group won a similar three-year contract from DOE in April 2016.
