The Department of Energy said Thursday it has issued a $39.1 million, five-year contract to e-Management Consultants for information technology services at Office of Environmental Management (EM) headquarters.
The Silver Spring, Md.-based company, which specializes in IT services for government, beat 12 other bidders, according to a DOE press release.
The contract covers a wide range of technical and administrative services including IT capital planning, cybersecurity, records management, EM Cloud, and EM Correspondence Center support. It encompasses firm-fixed-price, non-fee bearing cost-reimbursable, and indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity line items.
Separately, DOE’s Environmental Management Consolidated Business Center on Thursday posted a draft request for proposals for the Moab, Utah, Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action (UMTRA) technical assistance contract.
The contract is anticipated as a five-year, Small Business Administration 8(a) Business Development Program set-aside award. The indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract would encompass firm-fixed-price and time-and-material task orders.
Work under the project would include records management; information technology and telecommunications infrastructure; training; public affairs; property management; regulatory compliance; groundwater interim action; documentation support; and environment, safety, and health support. The contract is currently held by S&K Logistic Services through June 19, 2017.
The draft RFP lists the minimum value of services to be provided at $20,000 and the maximum at $24.5 million.
“The purpose of the Draft RFP is to solicit input from interested parties to assist DOE in developing a Final RFP for this procurement,” according to a DOE press release. “DOE invites all interested parties to thoroughly examine the Draft RFP and the accompanying procurement website in their entirety and to submit comments to DOE.”
Comments are being accepted through Dec. 21, according to a letter from Contracting Officer John Blecher. The department is particularly interested in responses to a number of questions, he wrote: whether $5 million is an “appropriate threshold” for determining a major contractor; whether submission of three relevant experience contracts by the prime bidder and one from each major subcontractor is sufficient for DOE to assess the prime’s experience; and the pricing schedule in Section B of the draft RFP and pricing proposal instructions in Section L are sufficiently clear to potential bidders.

The Moab cleanup program involves relocation of millions of tons of mill tailings and other material from the onetime uranium ore processing plant and nearby properties to a final disposal site at Crescent Junction, Utah. Cleanup contractor Portage Inc. is doing the work under a five-year, $156 million follow-on contract that lasts to Sept. 30, 2021.
