Synopsis

Idaho Cleanup Project (ICP) Procurement

This notice is considered to be a synopsis in accordance with FAR Subpart 5.2 for the Idaho Cleanup Project (ICP) procurement. Within 15 to 45 days from the date that this notice is published, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Environmental Management (EM) anticipates the issuance of a Draft Request for Proposal (RFP), 89303319REM000034, for the ICP. The ICP is being conducted pursuant to the 1995 Idaho Settlement Agreement court order, the 2008 Agreement to Implement court order, the Comprehensive Environmental Cleanup Conservation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act

(RCRA). The ICP contract is a major anticipated procurement for the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) site, post FY21 EM Mission Work. The End State of the ICP acquisition is to fulfill DOE's obligations for the following nine major elements of scope:

(1) Radioactive Waste Management Complex (RWMC) Closure;

(2) Complete Transuranic (TRU) Waste Shipments Out of the State of Idaho;

(3) Sodium Bearing Waste (SBW) Processed and Tank Farm Closure Completion;

(4) Complete Calcine Retrieval Project;

(5) Maintain Facilities and Infrastructure;

(6) Maintain Regulatory Compliance;

(7) Spent Nuclear Fuel Operations and Management;

(8) Spent Nuclear Fuel Disposition; and

(9) Facility Decontamination and Decommissioning (D&D)

The ICP procurement will be 100% full and open competition. The Government does not intend to acquire a commercial item or service using FAR Part 12. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 562910, Environmental Remediation

Services, and the small business size standard is 750 employees. Further information concerning size standards can be found at the following website:

http://www.sba.gov/category/navigation-structure/contracting/contracting-officials/eligibility-size-standards.

The new contract resulting from this acquisition will replace the ICP Core Contract awarded to Fluor Idaho, LLC (Fluor), which will expire May 31, 2021. The new ICP contract scope will also include requirements from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Licensed Facilities, with the exception of the Fort St. Vrain physical security services. The NRC Licensed Facilities contract was awarded under a small business set-aside to Spectra Tech Inc. (Spectra Tech), which will expire March 31, 2021. The DOE Office of Small Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) and the Small Business Administration (SBA) concluded that combining the NRC Licensed Facilities incumbent contract requirements (with the exception of the Fort St.

Vrain physical security services) into the new planned ICP acquisition does not constitute Bundling nor does it meet the definition of Consolidation. The Fort St. Vrain physical security services scope is considered a significant portion of the incumbent NRC Licensing scope and will remain as a Small Business Set-Aside procurement. The remaining portion of the NRC Licensed Facilities incumbent contract requirement is significantly changing in the ICP End http://www.sba.gov/category/navigation-structure/contracting/contracting-officials/eligibility-size-standards http://www.sba.gov/category/navigation-structure/contracting/contracting-officials/eligibility-size-standards

State phase, namely with the addition of Spent Nuclear Fuel handling being added to the NRC Licensing component. As a result, none of the sections under FAR 7.107 – Additional Requirements for Acquisitions Involving Consolidation, Bundling, or Substantial Bundling apply to this new ICP acquisition.
