About this opportunity
Mission Support and Test Services, LLC (MSTS), a contractor for the Department of Energy, is seeking a subcontractor to perform groundwater sampling and geochemical testing services at the Rock Valley Direct Comparison (RV/DC) Testbed site within the Nevada National Security Site. The primary objectives include collecting groundwater samples from a core boring at depths up to approximately 7,000 feet, specifically targeting a sampling depth of 6,398 +/- 164 feet, and conducting comprehensive geochemical analysis. The solicitation (RFP No. 0000313) will use a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) evaluation method, with technical criteria focusing on sample collection capabilities, chemical analysis proficiency, sampling experience, and the ability to mobilize within 7 days' notice. Potential offerors must submit electronic proposals by April 24, 2025, at 12:00 PM PST, with questions due by April 17, 2025. The contract requires U.S. citizen technicians who can operate sampling equipment in extreme conditions, including temperatures up to 185°F and pressures up to 2,600 psi.
The solicitation does not include a specific small business set-aside and will be performed in Mercury, Nevada, with field operations expected to be completed between 30-45 days from initial notice. While no specific incumbent is mentioned, the contract is part of the Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation Program's project at the Nevada National Security Site. The total contract value will be determined based on the successful offeror's pricing, with line items covering training, mobilization, groundwater collection, geochemical testing, and demobilization. Key testing parameters include analyzing pH, salinity, total dissolved solids, sulfate, and hydrogen sulfide concentrations. The estimated project timeline indicates drilling completion by mid-July 2025, followed by groundwater collection and testing. Offerors must provide comprehensive proposals across four volumes: Technical, Safety, Quality Assurance, and Pricing, with detailed documentation of experience, safety programs, and key personnel qualifications.
