With the calendar year ticking away, the Energy Department has issued another procurement inquiry — this one a draft request for proposals for a contract valued at roughly $120 million over seven years to provide occupational medical services at the Hanford Site in Washington state.
The Energy Department announced the draft RFP on Wednesday. The incumbent occupational medical services provider at Hanford is HPM Corp., which has a contract that expires Sept. 30, 2018. HPM was first awarded the contract in 2012.
DOE is looking for input from potential bidders and other stakeholders that would help the department prepare a final RFP. A presolicitation meeting and site tours are scheduled for Jan. 17-18 at the DOE Richland, Wash., operations center.
The “OccMed Contractor,” as it is called by DOE, will provide an occupational medical service program to support ongoing programs at Hanford. The contractor will have to show it is capable of supporting a workforce of more than 6,000 people. Services will range from first aid to examining worker injuries and illnesses.
The contract is expected to include a base period of three years plus a 90-day transition period. There will also be two options periods of two years each.
