Larger and/or more complex projects •

•



Pre-qualification criteria may include (but not limited to) any of the following:  Safety record & safety plan (“Target Zero)  QA program compliant with ASME NQA-1 standard and/or ISO 9001  Relevant past performance Best value selection based on:  Key personnel  Technical & management approach  Ability to manage & control schedule  Identification of potential problems / recommended solutions  Price as a consideration  Resource availability & ability to meet schedule

Smaller, non-complex projects •

May include some of the Pre-qualification criteria along with the best value selection or low price technically acceptable

Other Considerations  Security • Security clearance requirements rare, but possible • Contractors may be required to handle documents labeled “Official Use Only” and “Unclassified Controlled Nuclear Information” • Access to most construction sites requires armed security escort • Heightened security conditions may occur any time, preventing access to site; contract language stipulates expectations for bid purposes

 Safety • Radiation hazards are clearly identified in contract documents; contractor personnel receive training and follow ALARA principles

2007 Mentor-Protégé Program B&W Pantex is an active participant in the Department of Energy (DOE) Mentor Protégé Program. The program is designed to encourage DOE prime contractors to assist small disadvantaged firms certified by the Small Business Administration (SBA) under Section 8(a) of the Small Business Act, women-owned small businesses, small business concerns owned and controlled by service disabled veterans, and other small disadvantaged business concerns.

The program provides B&W Pantex a mechanism for entering into integrated working agreements and for providing nonfinancial assistance to these entities. The agreements are designed to enhance the Protégé’s business and technical capabilities, to foster long-term business relationships between these small businesses and DOE prime contractors, and to increase the overall number of small businesses receiving awards.
