The Hanford Site’s occupational medicine contractor has been awarded 90.1 percent of the fee available for the last full fiscal year under its expiring contract. HPM Corp. (HPMC), of Kennewick, Wash., earned $315,350 of $350,000 available for fiscal 2018, according to a Department of Energy performance scorecard released Wednesday.
HPM Corp. was awarded a six-year occupational medical services contract in 2012, and at the end of December secured a new contract for up to seven years in open competition. It has been operating on extensions since Oct. 1 and now is in a transition period of up to 90 days to the new contract. The new award is valued at up to $152 million. The previous contract was valued at almost $107 million, including extensions through this month.
The percentage of fee earned for fiscal 2018 was slightly down from fiscal 2017, when HPMC was awarded $311,950 – 91.75 percent of the available $340,000.
The company provides services including first aid, medical exams, drug and alcohol testing, and employee wellness programs. It operates two clinics – one at Hanford and another in nearby Richland, Wash.
The Department of Energy had mostly praise for HPMC in its latest scorecard. However, the contractor needs to continue to work toward superior quality documents, full implementation of corrective actions, and a contractor business system, the department said.
Achievements listed in the performance evaluation included providing “superior worker health and well-being support for the Hanford Site.” HPMC continued to coordinate worker schedules with Hanford cleanup contractors to minimize job time lost, DOE said. The company also demonstrated a continued upward trend in integration and collaboration with cleanup contractors to support the integration of health, safety, and injury prevention techniques.
