DOE Seeks Contractor for Depleted Uranium Hexafluoride (DUF6) Operations at Ohio and Kentucky Facilities
Cincinnati -- The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today issued a Draft Request for Proposal (RFP) seeking a contractor to perform Depleted Uranium Hexafluoride (DUF6) Operations at the two DUF6 conversion facilities at Portsmouth, Ohio, and Paducah, Kentucky.
A cost plus award fee contract with firm-fixed-price contract line items is anticipated. The total estimated value of the contract ranges from $400 million - $600 million with a base period of performance of three years and one two-year option period.
These facilities will convert DOE’s inventory of DUF6, located at the Portsmouth and Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plants, into a stable chemical form that will be acceptable for transportation, reuse, or disposal. A related objective is to provide cylinder surveillance and maintenance (S&M) of the DOE inventory of DUF6, low-enrichment uranium hexafluoride (UF6), natural assay UF6, and empty and heel cylinders in a safe and environmentally acceptable manner.
