DOE Schedules Industry Day for SRS Liquid Waste Services Contract

The Department of Energy on Tuesday said it had scheduled an industry day for its Savannah River Site liquid waste services contract for Wednesday, Oct. 14, at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Augusta in Augusta, Ga. The session is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. and end around 3 p.m. It would be followed by one-on-one meetings with interested companies the next day at the hotel. The department last week released a request for information/sources sought on the contract, with responses due by Oct. 21. “The goal of this Industry Day event is to inform interested parties of the process that will be followed to procure liquid waste services and to provide an overview of the major Elements of Scope for the upcoming procurement,” DOE said in the industry day announcement. “The Industry Day presentations will include a Site overview, technical discussions of the major Elements of Scope for the anticipated liquid waste contract, and encourage industry feedback to aid the Department in the development of the Acquisition Plan.” The department added:  “The one-on-one sessions are provided as an opportunity for interested parties to present their thoughts and suggestions on the procurement, including but not limited to the questions included in the Request for Information (RFI). DOE will consider all input, will not attribute the input received to any other participant, and will protect any information identified as business sensitive.” Savannah River Remediation holds the current contract through June 30, 2017.
