Expert Acquisition Corps to Advance EM’s Procurement Capacities
WASHINGTON, D.C. – EM is further strengthening its procurement capabilities
in launching an Acquisition Corps to serve on Acquisition Integrated
Project Teams (AIPTs) and Source Evaluation Boards (SEBs) that evaluate
submissions for contract awards.
The
Acquisition Corps will establish a cadre of trained and experienced
personnel dedicated to procurement evaluations and related tasks. It
will broaden the talent pool of procurement experts at EM field sites
and the EM Consolidated Business Center (EMCBC) who serve on various
SEBs and AIPTs.
“Given
how integral acquisition and contracting is to how we conduct our work,
successful execution of major procurements is essential to the EM
mission,” said EM Senior Advisor William “Ike” White.
Almost
all of EM’s work carrying out cleanup activities at 16 sites in 11
states is carried out through contracting with private industry. In the
past year, EM has awarded four major contracts among its Hanford,
Washington, and Nevada sites, as well as a Nationwide Deactivation,
Decommissioning, and Removal (DD&R) contract providing for
complex-wide services for EM and other DOE requirements.
Requests
for proposals are pending for the Savannah River National Laboratory
management and operating contract and for continuing cleanup at the
Idaho site. Ongoing procurement actions also include requirements at
Hanford, and sites at Portsmouth, Ohio; Paducah, Kentucky; Carlsbad, New
Mexico; Moab, Utah; Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and the Savannah River Site
in South Carolina, as well as EM corporate initiatives.
