For those not traveling to Phoenix in a couple of weeks for the annual Waste Management Symposia, the Department of Energy’s Office of Environmental Management is making its Business Opportunities Forum session available online.
Topics during the 9:45 a.m. Mountain Time session from the conference at the Phoenix Convention Center will include an update on status of ongoing and upcoming procurement opportunities, DOE said in a Friday notice on the federal contracting website, SAM.gov.
There is no fee to attend the nearly two-hour contracting session via Webex. The DOE Environmental Management office instructs those planning to attend online to register by close of business on March 3 by emailing Carmen Simpson at [email protected].
The $7.6-billion DOE nuclear cleanup office also plans one-on-one meetings with small businesses attending the Phoenix conference to gather industry feedback on issues like barriers to small businesses at the prime and subcontract level, according to the notice. To set up such a meeting during Waste Management, email Anne Marie Bird with DOE’s Cincinnati-based Environmental Management Consolidated Business Center at [email protected].
The annual Waste Management (WM) Conference, presented by WM Symposia, is scheduled for March 6 through 10 at the Phoenix Convention Center. The event, which can typically draw 2,000 or more participants, is devoted to radioactive waste storage and disposal issues worldwide. It is returning as an in-person conference this year after being only online during March 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
