- PORTSMOUTH AND PADUCAH INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT SERVICES (PPPO ISS) SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS PORTSMOUTH AND PADUCAH INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT SERVICES THIS IS A SOURCES SOUGHT SYNOPSIS. No solicitation is available. This Sources Sought is released pursuant to FAR 15.201(e), Exchanges with Industry. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is currently in the acquisition planning stage for the potential award of a contract for the continuation of Infrastructure Support Services (ISS) at the Portsmouth/Paducah Project Office (PPPO). More specifically, the services are to take place at the Portsmouth DOE reservation, known as the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant (GDP) site located near Piketon, Ohio; and at the Paducah site which is located at the Paducah Diffusion Plant (PGDP) on a federal reservation in Western Kentucky, approximately 10 miles west of Paducah, Kentucky, and 3.5 miles south of the Ohio River. The Portsmouth GDP site encompasses approximately 3,700 acres. The Portsmouth GDP operated from 1954 until 2001 using a gaseous diffusion process to enrich uranium. Enriched uranium was used in conjunction with commercial reactors and for US Navy Power reactors. Continuous operation of this facility since 1954 has resulted in the accumulation of years of inorganic, organic, and low-level radioactive waste materials. The Paducah site encompasses approximately 3,556 acres, and an additional 133 acres of off-site easements primarily associated with incoming raw water lines and pumps from the Ohio River, emergency notification sirens, and environmental sampling stations. The PGDP is a government-owned uranium enrichment plant constructed in the early 1950s. The site manufactured enriched uranium for the fabrication of fuel assemblies to support commercial and military nuclear reactors and to support weapons development activities. This site includes Hazard Category 2 Nuclear Facilities, primarily based on the uranium inventory; however, other radioactive materials, such as transuranics, are present and contribute to the hazard categorization of the facilities which were formerly leased and operated by the United States Enrichment Corporation (USEC).
