Jose Ortiz Delgado

Jose E. Ortiz Delgado serves as the primary contracting professional for the Environmental Management Contracting Business Center under the Department of Energy, overseeing the acquisition of critical environmental remediation and facilities support services. He plays a central role in executing the agency’s mission to safely decommission legacy nuclear sites and manage hazardous waste streams through scientifically grounded, regulatory-compliant procurement strategies. His portfolio primarily consists of performance-based contracts for site cleanup, waste treatment, and long-term stewardship services, often requiring specialized technical expertise in radiological and chemical hazard mitigation. Ortiz Delgado ensures alignment with federal acquisition regulations and DOE-specific environmental compliance frameworks, driving acquisitions that prioritize safety, sustainability, and mission effectiveness. He maintains longstanding relationships with key contractors including WEST VALLEY CLEANUP ALLIANCE, LLC, ENERGY TECHNOLOGY ALLIANCE LLC, and ARCTIC PEAK LLC, who provide integrated environmental restoration services across high-risk nuclear sites. These partnerships are typically structured as cost-reimbursement or fixed-price incentive contracts, emphasizing technical performance, safety milestones, and regulatory adherence. Ortiz Delgado’s procurement approach favors experienced, mission-aligned contractors with proven capabilities in nuclear decommissioning and complex waste management, fostering collaborative, long-term vendor relationships built on technical reliability and compliance discipline. His contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 83.3% of awards issued without set-asides, while maintaining a consistent 16.7% commitment to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Though not focused on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, he actively supports small business participation through targeted solicitations that enable qualified firms to compete for niche remediation and support services. His procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services) and 562910 (Remediation Services), with significant activity in NAICS 562211 (Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal). He procures specialized services including soil and groundwater remediation, radioactive waste packaging and transport, decontamination, and long-term site monitoring—demanding deep technical expertise in environmental engineering, radiological controls, and federal environmental compliance standards.
