Lockheed Martin has won the National Energy Technology Laboratory’s new Research and Development—Implementation and Support (RADIS) Services contract, according to a notice the Department of Energy issued this week. Lockheed Martin beat out two other bidders for the contract, which is worth approximately $169 million over 10 years—Battelle and Fluor, who had been teamed with incumbent AECOM for the recompete. Representatives from Lockheed Martin and NETL declined to comment on the contract award this week. Fluor and Battelle each also declined to comment on Lockheed Martin’s win of the new contract this week.
The RADIS contract is intended to “actively perform and provide support for fundamental and applied research efforts” and perform “interdisciplinary, collaborative R&D with federal in-house technical staff” at NETL, which is the sole DOE laboratory not managed by a government contractor. The contract is a cost-plus award-fee contract with a five-year base period and up to five years in additional award terms. The potential for option years will be assessed every six months, with the contractor eligible to earn an additional six months of award term for an “excellent” rating and an additional three months of award term for a “very good” rating.
