The Department of Energy has extended three technical support services contracts through Sept. 30 for cleanup operations at its Paducah Site in Kentucky and Portsmouth Site in Ohio.
Further details about the contract extensions were not immediately available.
The department has indicated it could extend the contracts in three-month increments from April 1 to Dec. 31 of this year. The next extension begins July 1.
The contractors are RSI EnTech and Professional Project Services (Pro2Serve), both of Oak Ridge, Tenn., and Strategic Management Solutions, of Albuquerque, N.M. Their work covers information technology, infrastructure, administrative support, and technical engineering.
In June 2018, DOE issued a $137 million consolidated contract to Pro2Serve for the same work for its Portsmouth-Paducah Operations Office. It withdrew the award in August following a protest by Strategic Management Solutions. The agency has said it still intends to merge the operations now handled under the three contracts.
Until then, RSI EnTech could take home as much as $9 million if it receives all extensions for technical services at the Portsmouth Site. Pro2Serve’s additional take-home for technical support at Paducah could reach $5.6 million. Strategic Management Solutions is up for about $10 million for extended technical support services for conversion of depleted uranium hexafluoride (DUF6) at both Portsmouth and Paducah.
