The Energy Department has awarded a potential seven-year, $152 million contract for occupational medical services at the Hanford Site in Washington state to incumbent vendor HPM Corp. of Kennewick, Wash.
The contract includes a three-year base, followed by a pair of two-year option periods, DOE said in a Monday press release. The release did not say how many other bidders HPM beat out in the procurement process that began with a DOE draft request for proposals in December 2017.
As the winning contractor, HPM is expected to provide routine first aid and other medical services to a workforce of over 9,000 DOE employees, contractors, and subcontractors at the massive nuclear cleanup site.
The new agreement is a follow-on to the $99 million contract that HPM began work on in October 2012. In the fall, HPM received a three-month extension to keep it on the job through the end of the 2018 calendar year on the contract currently valued at $107 million. Unlike the last time around in 2012, this latest solicitation was not restricted to small businesses.
Other companies that registered to take part in the early industry briefings on the occupational medical contract included North Wind Group, Comprehensive Health Services Inc., Medcor, Total Care Clinics, and Leidos subsidiary QTC Management.
