The U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration Service Center plans to award a sole source contract to Babcock & Wilcox Company for the processing and recovery of uranium from scrap and other uranium-containing materials. This service supports the Y-12 Central Scrap Management Office, facilitating the reuse of uranium in DOE programs. Babcock & Wilcox is uniquely qualified for this contract, as it is the only commercial firm in the U.S. licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to process uranium and owns the only two licensed uranium recovery facilities in the country. The contract falls under the NAICS code 325188, which covers all chemical manufacturing related activities.
This procurement will be awarded without competitive solicitation under the authority of FAR 6.302-1 and relevant U.S. Code provisions, emphasizing the unique capability held by Babcock & Wilcox. The notice clarifies that no proposals or solicitations are expected, and any information submitted will be used solely to determine whether a competitive procurement is warranted. The Government does not assume any responsibility for costs incurred in response to this notice, nor does the notice obligate the Government to award a contract. Questions or comments related to the action must be submitted by a specified deadline to the designated contract specialist.
The National Nuclear Security Administration Service Center is seeking sources to provide licensed state-certified court reporting services for Administrative Review hearings across multiple sites in New Mexico, Texas, Nevada, California, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Missouri. The selected contractor will be responsible for producing verbatim transcripts in both hard and electronic formats within 30 calendar days of a record closing, with an estimated volume of 90 hearings per year. Due to the nature of the work, the contractor and its employees must be able to obtain and maintain a Department of Energy Q clearance.
The anticipated contract period is five years, and the government is considering setting aside the acquisition for small businesses or 8(a) firms under NAICS Code 561492. While the contractor must provide most necessary equipment and supplies, the government will furnish computers and facilities for processing classified information. Interested parties must submit a detailed statement of capability by January 3, 2011, demonstrating their ability to perform these services in accordance with 10 CFR 710.26 and their capacity to provide reporters at all specified locations with minimal travel.

The contract involves the installation of fiber optic cabling at the NNSA Service Centers facility in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The decision to select ITC for this work hinges on their initial installation of the fiber optic infrastructure, which included a 20-year warranty and proprietary equipment unique to ITC. This exclusivity means that other contractors would not have access to necessary proprietary components, and using a different contractor would void the existing warranty, resulting in increased costs due to rework and the need to implement new network infrastructure.
The project utilizes the existing fiber optic network, emphasizing continuity and cost-effectiveness by maintaining the current infrastructure rather than initiating a completely new installation. The contract, identified by solicitation number DE-NA0000697 and posted in September 2010, falls under NAICS code 237130. The primary contacts for this contract are Krystal Maestas, the Contract Specialist, and Catherine Waters, the Contracting Officer, both reachable via official email and phone contacts. The work is performed in Albuquerque, NM, zip code 87185.
