The Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Environmental Management (EM) has a continuing requirement for consolidated technical support services.

The Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Environmental Management (EM) mission is to complete the safe cleanup of the environmental legacy resulting from five decades of nuclear weapons development and government-sponsored nuclear energy research. The Program is one of the largest, most diverse, and technically complex environmental cleanup programs in the world and includes responsibility for the cleanup of hundreds of sites across the country. Integral to that responsibility is the need to safely disposition large volumes of nuclear waste, safeguard and prepare for disposition of nuclear materials that could be used in nuclear weapons, deactivate and decommission several thousand radiologically and chemically contaminated facilitates no longer needed to support the DOE’s mission, and remediate extensive surface and groundwater contamination.

In 2016, EM was reorganized to become more field-centric and enhance safe execution of the work in the field, align with the cleanup vision and mission, and to ensure implementation of the Assistant Secretary’s guiding principles. DOE EM HQ and EMCBC have requirements for a wide range of technical services to support the EM cleanup mission and program objectives. It is essential that EM has highly qualified support contractors that can provide objective assistance at the highest levels of program planning, definition, execution, and evaluation.

• EM-3 requires a comprehensive array of technical support specific areas including, but not limited to:
  • Safety Management and Quality Assurance
  • Technical Support to the Office of the Chief of Nuclear Safety
  • Waste Management, Packaging, Shipping and Compliance
  •  Deactivation & Decommissioning (D&D) and Facilities Disposition
  • Facilities, Real Estate and Infrastructure Management
  • Spent Nuclear Fuel and Excess Nuclear Materials
  • Support to the Office of Technology Development
  • Technical Support to the Office of the Chief Engineer
  • DOE Strategic Sustainability Performance Goals
  • EM Transuranic (TRU) Waste Management Program
  • Developing Tank Waste Strategies and Technologies
  • Developing New and Innovative Technologies for Waste Management

  EM-4 requires a comprehensive array of technical support in specific areas including, but not limited to:

  • Infrastructure Management and D&D
  • Subsurface Closure Initiatives
  • National Transuranic (TRU) Waste Management Program
  • Waste Disposal Initiatives;
  • Developing Tank Waste Strategies and Technologies;
  • Developing New and Innovative Technologies for Waste Management
  • Nuclear Materials Management and Initiatives
  • Packaging and Transportation Initiatives
  • Developing Policy and Guidance on Regulatory Compliance
  • Developing Intergovernmental and Stakeholder Programs;

  EM-5 typically requires a lesser degree of technical support services provided under NAICS code 541620, but the general scope of work for any requirements it may have will generally be the same/similar to those outlined above for EM-3 and EM-4.
