Carbon pollution-free electricity projects at the hanford site - request for qualifications

The Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management is seeking statements of qualifications from firms through a two-step solicitation process to design, build, and operate carbon pollution-free electricity projects at the Hanford Site in Washington. Interested parties must submit statements of qualifications by February 5, 2024 demonstrating experience developing and operating utility-scale renewable or nuclear energy generation facilities of 200+ MW as well as experience working with DOE on environmental remediation and waste management activities. Statements of qualifications will be evaluated based on project description, economic return, capability and experience, and project plan and schedule, with a shortlist of qualified contractors to be invited to respond to a subsequent Request for Proposals.

There is no set-aside designation for this opportunity. It involves NAICS codes 221114 and 562910 with an anticipated PSC code R408.

Interested parties were provided draft documents and templates through December 20, 2023 to submit comments informing a final solicitation anticipated in February 2024.
