The Energy Department is seeking information, but no bids yet, about a contract to manage occupational medical services at the highly contaminated Hanford Site in Washington state, the agency said Monday.
DOE’s Environmental Management Consolidated Business Center released the sources sought/request for information online, with the aim of learning more about what industry can offer for the so-called OccMed Contract that will kick in in 2018, when the current contract held by Wastren Advantage expires. Under the deal, Wastren Advantage manages a staff of physicians and a lab to aid Hanford workers who are injured or possibly injured on the job.
DOE has neither decided on the type of contract — Wastren’s is a hybrid pact with fixed-price and cost-plus milestones — nor settled on a period of performance. The agency for now wants only “feedback from interested parties regarding options for efficient and effective performance of scope elements,” and to “determine whether or not all or a portion of the work can be set-aside for small and disadvantaged businesses.”
Those interested have until March 31 to reply to DOE, the agency said in a notice posted to fedbizopps.gov.
