The procurement office for the Department of Energy’s nuclear cleanup branch kicked off its market research this week for small businesses interested in providing technical services to the agency.
In addition to the request for information (RFI) for Consolidated Technical Support Services, now provided by incumbent BTP Services, the Environmental Management Consolidated Business Center also issued a small business RFI for Nationwide Deactivation, Decommissioning and Removal.
The DOE procurement office published the tech support services RFI on Thursday and the nationwide deactivation and removal RFI on Wednesday.
All capability statements and questions on the deactivation RFI should be emailed by 5 p.m. Eastern Time on Sept. 21 to [email protected].
Responses to the consolidated tech support RFI should be sent to Courtney Stallworth by 5 p.m. ET by emailing [email protected].
In July 2019, BTP Services, a joint venture between Boston Government Services and Trinity Engineering Associates won a contract potentially worth $49.5 million over five years to provide technical support services for DOE’s Office of Environmental Management. Then in April of this year DOE increased the maximum value of the current contract to $84.5 million.
The DOE is exploring the idea of a follow-on technical services contract to service both Environmental Management headquarters and a slew of sub-offices, according to the RFI.
In July 2020, DOE awarded a set of nine decommissioning and removal indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts. The award made the winners eligible for a slice of a $3 billion pie over 10 years for tearing down crumbling buildings across the old weapons complex — including ones siloed under DOE’s Office of Naval Reactors and the semiautonomous National Nuclear Security Administration.
