The Energy Department’s Office of Environmental Management could issue a half-dozen major contract awards, collectively worth up to $35 billion, by the end of 2019.
The office’s ’s latest procurement schedule, dated May 10, outlines an ambitious schedule of contract deals this year. Environmental Management updates its timelines every few months and the target dates tend to be fluid.
Nevertheless, the agency hopes 2019 is going to be a big year. Three of the 10-year awards are expected by the end of August at the Hanford Site in Washington state, with a fourth Hanford award expected three months later.
Here’s a 2019 rundown.
- The Hanford Mission Essential Services, sometimes referred to as the “landlord” contract, is worth $4 billion to $6 billion. The request for proposals came out in September 2018, with bids submitted two months later. Leidos-led Mission Support Alliance is the incumbent.
- Hanford Tank Closure is valued at between $10 billion and $15 billion. The RFP went out in February, with bids due in March. AECOM-led Washington River Protection Solutions is the incumbent.
