DOE advises bidders to team up in pursuit of small biz, set-aside cleanup projects

By ExchangeMonitor

Small businesses on the hunt for a share of assorted nationwide nuclear cleanup work at government sites are encouraged to team up by the Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management.

“DOE is issuing this notification to encourage offerors to consider the establishment of contractor teaming arrangements,” in pursuit of small business set-aside awards for Nationwide Deactivation, Decommissioning and Removal, the Environmental Management office said last week.

An actual request for proposals (RFP) could be on the street as early as February for nuclear remediation and removal work at properties run by Environmental Management, the National Nuclear Security Administration, the DOE Office of Naval Reactors, and the Office of Science, according to the notice.

At the Waste Management Symposia in Phoenix and other conferences in the recent past there has been increasing public discussion of Environmental Management overseeing more cleanup at not only its 15 remaining Cold War and Manhattan Project sites but also at retired facilities  run by its sister DOE branches. 

“At this time, DOE anticipates the award of multiple contracts against the subject Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity RFP, which may be limited to a reasonable quantity of only the highest rated proposals,” according to the notice.

The procurement office for Environmental Management initially issued a request for information in August, which included capability statements from interested small businesses.

The specifications of the final RFP “will ultimately dictate the terms by which proposals are evaluated and selections are made,” said the DOE cleanup office in the Nov. 22 notice.

Until then, questions on the solicitation process can be emailed to [email protected].
