On the Monday before Thanksgiving, the Department of Energy kicked off its market research into the next environmental cleanup contract at the Paducah Site in Kentucky.
DOE’s Office of Environmental Management published online a request for information/sources sought notice at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant complex in Western Kentucky.
Responses to the Paducah Deactivation and Remediation notice published Monday on the System Award Management or SAM.gov are due by Dec. 19.
The business is currently held by Four Rivers Nuclear Partnership, a joint venture of Jacobs, which recently combined its DOE contracting with Amentum, Fluor and BWX Technologies. Four Rivers’ current contract, valued at $1.7-billion, started in June 2017, and is scheduled to run into June 2025. DOE still has another two-year option it could exercise in 2025.
