Synopsis/Pre-Solicitation Notice

Moab Remedial Action Contract (Moab RAC)

89303320REM000066

This notice is considered to be a synopsis in accordance with FAR Subpart 5.2 for the Moab

Remedial Action Contract (RAC) acquisition. 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), 89303320REM000066, for the

Moab RAC acquisition. DOE is seeking a partnering contractor to accomplish completion and closure of all environmental remediation services at the Moab Project site, the Crescent Junction site, and the disposal cell area. A Single-Award Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle using EM’s “End State Contract Model” (ESCM) is contemplated. The ESCM is a concerted effort within EM to reinvigorate the nuclear waste cleanup completion mindset.

ESCM employs a Two-Step Process:

1. Competitive, qualifications-based Single-Award IDIQ RFP

2. Post-award negotiation of discrete scopes of work through effective partnering on a Task

Order basis (Firm Fixed Price or Cost Reimbursement)

The ESCM provides EM the ability to partner with industry and stakeholders at this critical juncture of the Moab Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action (UMTRA) Project to openly negotiate the right, risk-based interim and final End States to reach completion. The IDIQ ordering period for the Moab RAC is expected to be ten years.

The Moab RAC will be 100% set aside for Small Businesses. EM does not intend to acquire a

Commercial Item, as that term is defined at FAR 2.101, 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.

The new contract resulting from this acquisition will replace the current Moab UMTRA RAC awarded to North Wind Portage, Inc., which will expire on October 1, 2021. A link to EM’s public posting of this contract is provided below:
