RFP#369466 - Asbestos Abatement Services

The Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is seeking asbestos abatement services through RFP#369466, structured as an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. This procurement has undergone multiple modifications since its original posting on July 2, 2025, with the most recent Addendum No. 1 issued on September 19, 2025, changing the contract structure from firm-fixed price to time and materials for task releases. Contractors must submit detailed pricing tables including labor rates for various specialized positions such as Asbestos Worker Journeyman/Technician, Hazardous Materials/Asbestos Laborer, Asbestos Foreman, and related equipment rental costs by hour, day, week, and month. The solicitation requires offerors to provide first-year labor and rental rates with commitments to submit any rate changes or collective bargaining agreements within 30 days of occurrence for subsequent contract years. Proposals are currently due on September 23, 2025, at or before 5:00 PM Central Time, with bidders required to acknowledge receipt of all amendments via email to Procurement Specialist II Kody Whittington at kwhittin@fnal.gov.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to qualified small business entities. While the available documents do not specify the contract's total value or indicate any current incumbents, the IDIQ structure suggests ongoing, recurring asbestos abatement needs at the facility. The pricing table includes comprehensive labor categories with straight time, time-and-a-half, and double-time rates, indicating potential for extended work periods and emergency response capabilities. All work will be performed at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory facility located in Batavia, Illinois 60510. The contract falls under NAICS code 236118 (Residential Remodelers) and PSC code F108 (Environmental Systems Protection - Environmental Remediation), reflecting the specialized nature of hazardous materials remediation services required. The multiple amendments and addenda suggest active government engagement with potential bidders and evolving requirements throughout the solicitation period.
