DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Morgantown Energy Technology Center Financial Assistance Award
(Potential Sources Sought)
AGENCY: Department of Energy (DOE), Morgantown Energy Technology
Center.
ACTION: Expressions of interest.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy is seeking expressions of
interest for the Office of Environmental Management Technology
Leveraging Initiative. The Office of Environmental Management was
established in November 1989 and was tasked with cleaning up the legacy
of environmental pollution at DOE weapons complex facilities,
preventing further environmental contamination, and instituting
responsible environmental management. The magnitude and complexity of
many aspects of this mission are such that it cannot be achieved using
existing technology without incurring high costs. The technology
leveraging initiative is to transfer into practice technologies
developed by DOE in its national laboratories or in other agreements.
It will also be beneficial to the nation if the new or improved
technologies developed to clean up the DOE weapons complex facilities
can be used by other government agencies and for other industrial
cleanup applications. Considering that DOE and the world market needs
for environmental cleanup are immense, there is a large potential
market for technology transfer. Consequently, cost sharing will be a
key consideration. It is anticipated that this activity will be
partially DOE funded at initiation, and will mature to self sufficiency
with little or no Government funding.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
D. Denise Riggi, I-07, U.S. Department of Energy, Morgantown Energy
Technology Center, P.O. Box 880, Morgantown, West Virginia 26507-0880,
Telephone: (304) 291-4241.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: It is envisioned that the work scope will
address methods for environmental technology integration and transfer,
which means facilitating the licensing of DOE funded technologies,
guiding the startup of new venture companies with DOE developed
technologies, identifying markets and assessing the commercial
potential of the DOE developed technologies, and promoting coordination
between DOE and U.S.-based industry to address environmental cleanup
technology development issues of mutual interest. The developed
technologies are in the following focus areas: (1) Contaminant Plume
Containment and Remediation, (2) Mixed Waste Characterization,
Treatment, and Disposal, (3) High-Level Waste Tank Remediation, (4)
Landfill Stabilization, and (5) Facility Transitioning,
Decommissioning, and Final Disposition.
Interested parties should provide: statements of experience and
capabilities in both the technical and business aspects specifically
associated with the focus areas and work scope; your perception of the
discussed activity; a name and telephone number for a point of contact;
and be limited to 5 pages. Statements should be submitted to the
attention of D. Denise Riggi, U.S. Department of Energy, Morgantown
Energy Technology Center, P.O. Box 880, Morgantown, WV 26507-0880.
Closing date for the submission of statements of interest is fifteen
(15) days from the publication date of this notice.
This notice is for information and planning purposes, does not
constitute a request for proposal and is not to be construed as a
commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation or enter into an
award.
