The Department of Energy announced this week that it plans to issue in the next 15-to-45 days a draft Request for Proposals for a new contract to manage Nuclear Regulatory Commission-licensed facilities at the Idaho site, as well as the Fort St. Vrain facility. The new contract would cover the Fort St. Vrain facility; the Three Mile Island-2 (TMI-2) ISFSI facility at the Idaho Nuclear Technology and Engineering Center (INTEC) in Idaho; and the Idaho Spent Fuel Facility (ISFF) license. DOE also announced tentative plans to hold a pre-solicitation conference, site tour and industry one-on-one sessions for the new contact the week of Oct. 13.
The new contract is being set-aside for small businesses, and is expected to run for up to five years, consisting of a four-year base period and one one-year option period. The new contract is set to be a Firm-Fixed-Price contract that includes a Cost Reimbursable contract line item (CLIN), according to DOE. DOE said it plans to issue the final RFP in the first quarter of the 2015 government fiscal year, with an award date of the fourth quarter of 2015.
