This is a Sources Sought Notice for market research purposes only to identify capable firms for on-site Nuclear Criticality Safety (NCS) support for the Shallow Land Disposal Area (SLDA) environmental-remediation project in Parks Township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania. This is a special notice only. No proposals are being requested or accepted in response to this notice. All responses must be submitted electronically through the designated Market Survey Form.

1. Description of Work

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Buffalo District, is seeking capability statements from qualified firms to determine the availability and technical capability of firms able to provide independent on-site nuclear criticality safety support for the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial Action Program (FUSRAP) SLDA project.

The anticipated requirement is a firm-fixed-price service contract with cost-reimbursable travel, consisting of a one-year base period and four option years.

The contractor will provide a qualified primary NCS Officer and alternate NCS Officer to support active environmental-remediation operations at the SLDA site. The contractor will serve as an independent technical advisor to USACE and will provide oversight and quality assurance of the remediation contractor’s NCS program.

The anticipated scope includes:

• 
  

  Providing on-site presence during active remediation operations.

  
  


• 
  

  Conducting field walkdowns and direct observation of remediation activities.

  
  


• 
  

  Reviewing Nuclear Criticality Safety Evaluations, calculations, technical-basis documents, work plans, procedures, and other submittals.

  
  


• 
  

  Assessing the implementation and effectiveness of criticality-safety controls.

  
  


• 
  

  Conducting audits, assessments, and surveillance of the remediation contractor’s NCS program.

  
  


• 
  

  Reviewing safety, radiological, operational, and nuclear quality-assurance documentation.

  
  


• 
  

  Supporting the safe handling, measurement, processing, storage, transport, and disposal of excavated radiological materials, including special nuclear material.

  
  


• 
  

  Preparing independent technical reports identifying findings, risks, and recommended corrective actions.

  
  


• 
  

  Supporting coordination with USACE, the site owner, regulators, and other project stakeholders, as required.

  
  

The work will primarily occur at the SLDA site in Parks Township, Pennsylvania. The requirement may also include periodic travel to USACE offices and other off-site meeting locations.
