- Description
- Justification for Other than Full and Open Competition Description: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of River Protection (ORP) intends to award a firm fixed price modification to Contract Number DE-EM0002103, by means other than full and open competition. DOE-ORP intends to award a sole source contract modification to Energy Solutions, LLC, located at 6100 Chevy Chase Drive, Laurel, MD, 20707. Work associated with Modification 002 will support development of the vitrification process for the Hanford Tank Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant (WTP). The WTP is expected to treat both High-Level Waste (HLW) and Low-Activity Waste (LAW). This effort is for the procurement of services to (1) develop enhanced Low Activity Waste (LAW) glass property-composition models, by performing melter tests to define limiting concentrations of halides and other minor components, and (2) enhance High Level Waste (HLW) glass property-composition models by performing melter tests to define High Waste Loading Glass Formulations for High-Cr HLW and establish limitations of direct feeding of the HLW Facility. Competition Exception: DOE-ORP has determined that this requirement can only be satisfied by the unique services offered by Energy Solutions, LLC. The statutory authority permitting this action is 41 U.S.C. 253(c)(1), where a determination has been made that the supplies or services required by the agency are available from only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Energy Solutions, LLC, through its exclusive agreement with Catholic University of America (CUA), Vitreous State Laboratory (VSL), is the only firm that is uniquely capable of providing the technical expertise and facilities necessary to complete the tasks described above. These tasks will be performed at the glass development laboratory and melter test facility at CUA VSL, in Washington, D.C. Performance of these tasks requires the use of a DM100 melter, which resides at CUA-VSL, and expertise with LAW/HLW glass composition models. Energy Solutions, LLC, is the only source with the required equipment and technical expertise to perform the work in the required time frame. Unsolicited Proposals: All responsible sources may submit a capability statement which shall be considered by the agency. The estimated amount for this effort is less than $3,500,000.00. This effort is not set-aside.
