Synopsis

Savannah River National Laboratory Procurement

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

River National Laboratory (SRNL) procurement. During June 2020, the U.S. Department of

Energy (DOE) Office of Environmental Management (EM) anticipates the issuance of a Final

Request for Proposal (RFP), solicitation number 89303320REM000063, for a new, standalone

Management and Operating (M&O) contract for the operations of SRNL located at the Savannah

River Site (SRS) in South Carolina. Given EM’s focus on completing its cleanup mission, DOE is seeking to position SRNL for an enduring mission and to maximize the realization of SRNL’s potential as a National Laboratory to benefit the Department, the American scientific discovery and innovation ecosystem, the local communities near the Laboratory, and the American taxpayer at large. The establishment of a separate EM-managed M&O contract for SRNL is expected to enhance the ability of the Laboratory to pursue its enduring mission by focusing the

Contractor on its research and development (R&D) missions, increasing the Laboratory's flexibility to pursue more diversified R&D projects, and attracting additional expertise in the operation of R&D facilities.

SRNL is a government-owned, contractor-operated multi-program National Laboratory that operates as a Federally Funded Research and Development Center. SRNL is currently managed as part of EM’s M&O contract with Savannah River Nuclear Solutions. SRNL performs a wide spectrum of R&D activities ranging from basic science to applied research to support cleanup activities across the DOE complex. The Laboratory also performs a variety of national security, nonproliferation, homeland security, and energy security missions for DOE and other federal agencies.
