DOE REVEALS SOURCE SELECTION OFFICIAL FOR BNL PROCUREMENT

By ExchangeMonitor

Timothy Hallman, the Associate Director for Nuclear Physics in the Department of Energy’s Office of Science, will serve as the Source Selection Official for the Department’s Brookhaven National Laboratory procurement, officials said at an informational meeting last week. DOE released documents from the industry day this week, revealing the role that will be played by Hallman, a former senior scientist at Brookhaven, but declining to disclose the identity of the Source Evaluation Board established for the procurement.

Officials also outlined a tentative schedule for the procurement, revealing that a Request for Proposals would be released late in the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2014 or early in the third quarter of the fiscal year. An award is expected during the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2015, which would allow transition to take place before Brookhaven Science Associates’ contract expires Jan. 4, 2015. DOE said it anticipates a five-year base contract with up to 15 additional years that could be earned through award-term incentives. All of the fee earned by the contractor will be at-risk, officials said, and the fee cap is likely to be lower than the current $7.4 million a year due to the addition of the award terms and risk factors.

Representatives from CB&I, Fluor, IBM, and URS attended the meeting, according to a published registration list, as did officials from Arcadis, Enercon Federal Services, Fortinet, MicroTech, Professional Services of America and Protection Strategies.
