West Area Tank Farms Risk Management - Construction Services

The Department of Energy’s Hanford Field Office is undertaking a critical project to manage and mitigate risks associated with the underground storage tanks at the Hanford Site, which currently contain approximately 54 million gallons of mixed radioactive waste. This waste is stored in 177 tanks and consists of solids, liquids, and salts. The West Area Tank Farms Risk Management (WARM) Project has been approved to address operational challenges in the 200 West Area, where there is a lack of waste pretreatment and transfer capabilities. The project aims to construct facilities that will enable proper retrieval, treatment, and off-site disposal of tank waste in accordance with environmental regulations and compliance schedules, ultimately supporting the closure of the Tank Farms and protecting the Columbia River. The contract being solicited pertains to construction services for the WARM Project and falls under the NAICS code 236210. The Department of Energy, through its Hanford Tank Waste Operations & Closure LLC contractor, is seeking sources to provide the necessary construction efforts for this capital project, which follows DOE’s program and project management directives. The contract location is in Richland, Washington, where the Hanford Site is situated, and interested parties have until mid-August 2026 to respond. Key points of contact for the solicitation include Claudia Carson, with communication and coordination managed via a designated DOE office. This effort is integral to advancing the DOE’s mission of environmental safety and regulatory compliance through enhanced waste management capabilities.
