The U.S. Energy Department’s industry day for the occupational medical (OccMed) services contract procurement at the Hanford Site in Washington state drew a crowd earlier this month, including incumbent provider HPM Corp.
Thirty-seven individuals representing 13 companies, plus the Oak Ridge Associated Universities, were registered for the presolicitation conference, site tour, and individual sessions, according to a list posted on the DOE Environmental Management Consolidated Business Center website.
The list is heavy on medical services providers, with some prominent DOE contractors in the mix: HPM Corp.; Oak Ridge Associated Universities; CSRA; Comprehensive Health Services; Heritage Health Solutions; North Wind Group; i3 Global; Medcor; Apogee Group; Total Care Clinics; QTC Management, a Leidos subsidiary; InoMedic Health Applications; and Appellation.
The Energy Department in December issued a draft request for proposals for a contract valued at about $120 million over seven years at the nuclear cleanup site near Richland, Wash. The contract would feature a three-year base period, followed by two option periods of two years each, according to slides presented at the presolicitation conference. The work would encompass first aid and other medical services for a workforce of more than 6,000 DOE employees and contractors.
Following a comment period through Wednesday, DOE expects to issue the final request for proposals this spring, after which would-be contractors would have 60 calendar days to submit bids.
HPM’s contract, worth just below $100 million, expires on Sept. 30 of this year. The company in December declined to comment on its intention to bid on the next contract.
