The Energy Department’s Office of Environmental Management is seeking vendor feedback on a potential new contract to provide infrastructure support services at the Portsmouth Site in Ohio and the Paducah Site in Kentucky.
The request for information/sources sought notice was issued Tuesday by DOE’s Cincinnati-based Environmental Management Consolidated Business Center. The Energy Department is in the early planning stages of a potential award for the Portsmouth/Paducah Project Office (PPPO).
The DOE notice included the standard disclaimer that the announcement is not a request for proposals. Documents released Tuesday did include any proposed timeline for issuance of a draft RFP.
The agency said it is seeking capability statements from contractors with the ability to provide services that include telecommunications, cybersecurity, janitorial, maintenance of roads and grounds, mail services, and pest control.
Responses to the RFI should be submitted by 3 p.m. ET on March 5 to Contract Specialist Courtney Stallworth, at [email protected].
Questions on the announcement should be sent to either Stallworth or Contracting Officer Wilmari Delgado, [email protected].
In December, Kentucky-based Swift & Staley won an $88 million, 22-month contract extension to continue providing infrastructure support services at the former Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant. Its entire contract, valued at $185 million, started in December 2015 and runs through September 2020.
North Wind-led Portsmouth Mission Alliance has a $140 million infrastructure support contract that began in March 2016 and runs through mid-January 2021. The other partner in the contract is Swift & Staley.
It was not entirely clear from the announcement if DOE intends to go from two contracts to one. The RFI documents do include performance work statements for both Portsmouth and Paducah. More information is available on the DOE website for the solicitation.
