PROTEST CLOCK TICKING ON LEGACY MANAGEMENT CONTRACT AWARD

The clock for a possible protest on the Department of Energy’s recent award of the new Legacy Management support contract has begun ticking, with debriefs having largely wrapped up late last week. It remains to be seen whether any of the unsuccessful bidders will choose to challenge Portage’s win of the new contract, which was set aside for small businesses, with the Government Accountability Office.  Among the unsuccessful bidders was Wastren Advantage, which led a team that included incumbent S.M. Stoller. The new contract has been valued at $249.5 million and is set to run for up to five years, consisting of a two-year base period and one three-year option period. Work to be performed under the new contract includes long-term surveillance and maintenance; information technology and records management; asset management; business; and program-wide support services
