The Department of Energy plans to increase the ceiling for the Moab Technical Assistance Contract held by S&K Logistics Services to $29.8 million from $24.3 million, according to a notice published Thursday on a federal procurement website.
The Cincinnati-based Environmental Management Consolidated Business Center posted a “justification for other than full and open competition” on the website SAM.gov.
The follow-on indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract is being awarded this month, “however, its Moab task order is not expected to be awarded until February 2023,” DOE said in the notice. “This means that, to avoid a break in service, the IDIQ’s maximum must be raised in order for the current task order under it to be extended.”
S&K provides DOE with various types of special assistance for the Moab Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action project in Utah. This includes chores ranging from information technology and records management to security and public affairs, DOE said. North Wind Portage is the cleanup contractor for Moab.
The Moab cleanup project involves moving millions of tons of mill tailings and other material from the onetime uranium ore plant near Moab to an engineered final disposal site at Crescent Junction, Utah.
A tribally-owned business based in Montana, S&K has been on the job at Moab for more than a decade and DOE last extended the small business set-aside contract in August 2017.
