LBNL Decommissioning and Demolition (D&D)

The University of California's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, operating under the Department of Energy, is seeking qualified contractors to perform decommissioning and demolition (D&D) services on multiple buildings located at the laboratory facility. This pre-solicitation notice is an information-gathering exercise designed to identify potential contractors with expertise in federal facilities management, radiological and hazardous waste remediation, safety programs, and performance reporting. The comprehensive scope of work encompasses project management, safety oversight, waste management, site investigations, hazardous materials and radiological abatement, utility deactivation, demolition, soil excavation, site restoration, and design services. Contractors must demonstrate technical capabilities and experience in handling complex decommissioning projects involving hazardous and radiological materials. The Request for Information (RFI) response deadline is October 31, 2025, at 4:00 PM, with submissions required via email to tracykaae@lbl.gov; an RFP is anticipated for release in January 2026 and contract award is projected for December 2026.

No set-aside designation has been applied to this procurement opportunity. The RFI particularly encourages small business participation, with the relevant NAICS code being 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and a size standard of $45,000,000. No current incumbent or specific award value has been disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. Respondents are cautioned that this RFI is for information-gathering purposes only with no guarantee of future contract award, and they are explicitly instructed not to include proprietary or confidential information in their submissions. The estimated timeline extends through December 2026 for contract award, providing potential contractors with approximately 14 months from the RFI deadline to prepare comprehensive proposals once the formal solicitation is released.
