ONE Advisory and Assistance Services 2010-2015

The Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration established the ONE Advisory and Assistance Services 2010-2015 Master IDIQ on June 1, 2010, with ordering authority through November 30, 2015. The vehicle is now closed; no new task orders may be placed. The master IDIQ carried a $30 million shared ceiling.

The vehicle executed 39 task orders over its five-year lifecycle, with obligated value reaching $21.1 million against a combined potential of $21.3 million. Ordering activity peaked in 2012 with 11 awards, then moderated to 3–8 orders annually before closing in 2015. All task orders were unrestricted procurements with no set-aside designations. Pricing structures were predominantly cost-plus-fixed-fee, with a smaller subset of firm-fixed-price and labor-hour arrangements.

Three primes dominated the competitive landscape. Orano Federal Services LLC (formerly AREVA) secured 15 orders valued at $7.5 million combined potential. Aptim Federal Services, LLC captured 10 orders worth $7 million combined potential. Atkinsrealis Energy Federal EPC Inc. received 9 orders totaling $5.7 million combined potential. These three firms accounted for 97 percent of all task orders. Three additional vendors—Enercon Federal Services Inc., GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy Americas LLC, and Ch2M Hill, Inc.—shared the remainder.

Customer funding was highly concentrated within DOE. The National Nuclear Security Administration funded 33 orders valued at $17.6 million combined potential, representing 82 percent of the vehicle's activity. The DOE Office of Nuclear Energy placed 5 orders worth $3.6 million combined potential. A single order worth $81 thousand funded by the DOE Office of Management completed the portfolio.

Task order scopes centered on nuclear fuel cycle research, spent nuclear fuel management, advanced reactor fuels, dry storage canister design, and waste recycling processes. Representative awards included a $2.02 million generic design study for dry storage of used nuclear fuel, a $1.74 million feasibility study for large cask storage at the Idaho National Laboratory, and multiple $500 thousand to $1.1 million awards for transportation cask design and standardized canister systems. Delivery orders were typically 6–24 months in duration.
