What this contract is for

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Hanford Field Office (HFO), is dedicated to retrieving and treating Hanford’s tank waste and closing the Tank Farms to safeguard the Columbia River. Currently, mixed radioactive waste is stored in 177 underground tanks at the Hanford Site, as documented in DOE 2003-02, Environmental Impact Statement for Retrieval, Treatment, and Disposal of Tank Waste and Closure of Single-Shell Tanks at the Hanford Site, Richland, WA. These tanks contain approximately 54 million gallons of waste, consisting of solids (sludge), liquids (supernate), and saltcake (salts formed through evaporation processes). The mission need statement for the West Area Tank Farms Risk Management (WARM) Project, approved by DOE, recognizes the operational sequencing challenges at Hanford, with the lack of waste pretreatment and transfer capabilities in the 200 West Area. To address these challenges and optimize waste processing, WARM is being constructed to supply material for off-site treatment and disposal, supporting compliance with regulatory milestones and environmentally sound waste disposal. The WARM Project has been authorized by the Department of Energy as a capital project in accordance with DOE O 413.3B Program and Project Management for the Acquisition of Capital Assets.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
