handle is hein.gao/gaocrptafva0001 and id is 1 raw text is: oComptroller General of the United States Washington, D.C. 20548 Decision Matter of: SouthEastern Technologies, Inc. File: B-275636 Date: March 10, 1997 R. Keith Kibbe for the protester. Wendy E. Bryant, Esq., and Gena Cadieux, Esq., Department of Energy, for the agency. Aldo A. Benejam, Esq., and Christine S. Melody, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision.

DECISION SouthEastern Technologies, Inc. challenges as unclear the terms of a Commerce Business Daily (CBD) notice published by the Department of Energy (DOE) seeking expressions of interest (EOI) for a decontamination, decommissioning, and recycling project. We deny the protest. By way of background, in 1985, DOE discontinued uranium enrichment operations at its Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The discontinuation of these operations has resulted in underutilized facilities, equipment, materials, and infrastructure. With the loss of the mission for uranium enrichment for weapons, the mission has turned to environmental cleanup and re-industrialization of the site, referred to in the record as the K-25 Site. Re-industrialization of the K-25 Site is intended to replace jobs reliant on federal funding with private industry jobs. The 534310
