The transition of contractors at the Department of Energy’s Transuranic Waste Processing Center is scheduled to take place by September, according to a DOE spokeswoman. As reported earlier, DOE awarded the management contract, valued up to $123.9M, to North Wind Solutions LLC. Lynette Chafin of DOE’s Environmental Management Consolidated Business Center said the federal agency anticipates that North Wind will begin management of TWPC by the end of August. “A transition period would commence in mid-July,” Chafin said via email.
That schedule apparently depends on whether any of the other six bidders files a protest on the contract award at the Government Accountability Office. The Oak Ridge waste-treatment center processes long-lived radioactive materials and packages them for transport to and disposal at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in New Mexico. The contract is currently held by Wastren Advantage Inc.
