In accordance with FAR 5.201, this is a Presolicitation Notice to notify industry of the Government’s intent to solicit and negotiate with only one source. The Government is pursuing a non-competitive action in accordance with the sole source fair opportunity exemption at Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1(a)(2).

Within 15 to 60 days from the date this notice is published, DOE anticipates issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP), 89303424REM000002, for Transuranic (TRU)/Greater-Than-Class-C (GTCC) waste storage services. It is DOE’s intent to issue an order as a result of this RFP in or around the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024. This order will be issued in accordance with Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) 89303321GEM000020. The period of performance for the order will be September 13, 2024 to December 2, 2026 with no associated option periods. The order will be structured as a firm fixed unit price order with a total Not to Exceed (NTE) dollar amount. All functions under the resulting order will be performed at the Waste Control Specialists (WCS) Incorporated non-federal licensed and permitted treatment facility in Andrews County, Texas.

Services to be provided include technical and administrative services for the continued storage of the seventy-four DOE TRU waste containers located at the WCS facility in Andrews, Texas so that the waste can be transported to an offsite facility. In June 2023, DOE informed the Texas Attorney General’s office that it plans to move its seventy-four containers of TRU waste out of the WCS site by the end of 2026. In the meantime, this procurement is necessary because it provides DOE the necessary waste storage services needed until the TRU waste can be transferred out of the WCS facility.
