Oak Ridge OEM Remediation Services

The Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management awarded this Master IDIQ for characterization, deactivation/demolition, and remediation services of low-risk/low-complexity facilities and sites at Oak Ridge on May 8, 2019, with ordering closed as of May 6, 2024. The vehicle is fully set aside for small business and is no longer active — the ordering period has been closed for over two years.

Activity under the vehicle has been modest and declining. Fourteen task orders were placed across the vehicle's five-year operational window, with ordering intensity concentrated in the first two years (seven orders in 2019, three in 2020). The pipeline thinned sharply thereafter (two orders in 2021, one in 2023, one in 2024), with the most recent award issued in August 2024 after the ordering deadline had passed, suggesting tail-end execution. Combined task-order potential value is $8.4 million, of which $6.8 million (81 percent) has been obligated.

Competitive concentration is extreme. CTI And Associates, Inc., holds seven of 14 orders and $7.7 million of the $8.4 million combined potential value — roughly 92 percent of the vehicle's economic footprint. Aleut Remediation LLC and Gem Technologies, Inc., follow distantly with $321 thousand and $303 thousand combined potential value, respectively. Terranear PMC LLC and Aerostar SES LLC hold single orders valued at $25 thousand and $48 thousand.

Customer concentration is similarly narrow: the Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management placed 13 of 14 orders ($8.4 million potential value); the Department of Energy Office of Economic Impact and Diversity placed one order ($25 thousand). Task orders are firm fixed price, with individual order values ranging from $19,995 to $4.4 million. Representative work includes CERCLA soils characterization and remedial actions, facility decommissioning and demolition, and outfall mercury treatment facility characterization support. All performance is at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Y-12 sites in Tennessee. The small-business set-aside restriction is binding: 57 percent of orders are explicitly designated Total Small Business; the remaining 43 percent carry no set-aside restriction but are nonetheless awarded to small businesses.
