The Department of Energy last week said it awarded a contract for technical support services at the Paducah and Portsmouth sites to incumbent Enterprise Technical Assistance Services, a Knoxville, Tenn., subsidiary of Pro2Serve.
DOE’s Office of Environmental Management (EM) did provide the duration of value of the follow-on contract in a Sept. 12 press release announcing the deal. The old contract, awarded in 2020, runs through March 2025 and is worth about $180 million.
There were two bidders for the work, EM wrote in its press release. The agency had planned a five-year contract, including a three-year base and two one-year options periods, according to the solicitation the agency released in March.
Work will take place at and around the Paducah Site near Paducah, Ky., and the Portsmouth Site near Piketon, Ohio, both of which are former gaseous diffusion plants that enriched uranium for nuclear weapons during the Cold War arms race with the Soviet Union.
Like the old contract, Enterprise Technical Assistance Services’ new deal calls for the company to provide administration and technical support to DOE and its contractors at Paducah and Portsmouth for nuclear cleanup, decontamination and decommissioning and depleted uranium hexafluoride operations, according to the solicitation.
