Savannah River Nuclear Solutions (SRNS), the management and operations contractor for parts of the Savannah River Site (SRS) near Aiken, S.C., is seeking expressions of interest for operation of its Materials Management and Distribution activities, according to a sources sought notice posted Tuesday.
The contract involves shipping, warehousing, inventory accounting, and other logistics work for radiological, nuclear, and other material received or sent by the site.
The contract is expected to be for between five and ten years, and DOE prefers to award it to a small business, according to the notice. The contract covers work including: inventory planning; receiving; tagging; receipt inspection; warehousing; delivery; and off-site shipping of materials including radiological sources, nuclear materials, chemicals, and precious metals.
The contractor would also help implement the storage program, which involves receiving annually around 135,000 shipments of equipment and material and storing in climate controlled facilities around 800,000 cubic feet of items.
Interested parties should email Barbara Tuthill at [email protected] by June 21.
SRNS plans to develop a list of parties that will then receive a request for proposal, which will not be subject to full and open competition, the notice said. The selection of parties receiving the request for proposal “will not be based on any set of objective criteria,” DOE said.
