The Department of Energy nuclear cleanup branch has selected 14 small businesses to share in a set-aside contract worth up to $2 billion for Nationwide Deactivation, Decommissioning, and Removal work across the weapons complex, the agency said Thursday.
The DOE Office of Environmental Management said in the same press release that the contract’s first task order, worth $18.6 million, will go to Idaho-based North Wind Portage. North Wind will do monitoring, surveillance and maintenance associated with remediation of the Energy Technology Engineering Center within the Santa Susana Field Laboratory in Simi Valley, California.
North Wind is the incumbent under an existing Energy Technology Engineering Center agreement, valued at $926 million, which started in 2014 and is scheduled to run through September, according to a DOE contract summary.
DOE has said indefinite-delivery-indefinite-quantity awards to be carried out between fiscal 2024 and 2034 have a maximum combined value of up to $2 billion. The agency made a similar award geared toward larger companies in 2020.
Other companies sharing in the small-business contract award are:
- A2RGC LLC (Oak Ridge, Tenn.).
- Apogee (Richland, Wash).
- Banda Group International, (Mesa, Ariz).
- Capital Energy Group, LLC (Knoxville, Tenn.).
- GEM Technologies (Knoxville, Tenn.).
- HGL-Aptim Technologies (Reston, Va.).
- Los Alamos Technical Associates Inc. (Albuquerque, NM).
- Navarro Research and Engineering (Oak Ridge, Tenn.).
- Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc (Oak Ridge, Tenn.).
- RSI EnTech (Oak Ridge, Tenn.).
- Sigma NAC Nuclear Solutions LLC (Albuquerque, N.M.).
- Spectrano, (Oak Ridge, Tenn.).
- TerranearPMC, LLC (Exton, Pa.).
The award stems from a request for proposals issued last May.
The small businesses will do assorted nuclear remediation jobs as needed at nuclear sites run by DOE’s Environmental Management office, the National Nuclear Security Administration, Office of Naval Reactors, and the Office of Science.
