DOE Radioactive and Hazardous Waste Treatment

The Department of Energy (DOE) Radioactive and Hazardous Waste Treatment Services Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract provides specialized environmental management services focused on the treatment, disposition, and disposal of radioactive and hazardous waste. The contract vehicle enables the DOE to efficiently manage complex waste streams from national laboratories and other DOE facilities, particularly those generating mixed low-level waste (M/LLW) and transuranic waste. The IDIQ supports critical environmental remediation efforts by offering flexible task order mechanisms for waste characterization, treatment, and final disposition.

The task orders under this contract predominantly involve waste management services at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), with specific projects targeting various waste categories including Class C low-level waste, tritium waste containers, and radioactive waste within the 10 to 100 nanocurie per gram range. Task orders range in value from minimal engagements of $25,000 to more substantial projects approaching $1 million, typically with completion dates aligned to the fiscal year end of June 30. The contract does not utilize small business set-asides and consistently employs firm fixed-price pricing models. Most task orders focus on waste treatment, empty drum disposition, and specialized waste management services, suggesting the prime contractors possess advanced capabilities in handling radioactive and hazardous materials with complex environmental management requirements.
