DOE Selects Bechtel BWXT Idaho For Small Business Achievement Award

Bechtel BWXT Idaho (BBWI) https://inlportal.inl.gov/portal/server.pt?open=512&objID=255&mode=2 has been selected as the recipient of the U.S. Department of Energy’s 2009 Management and Operations Small Business Achievement of the Year Award. This award recognizes the outstanding performance of the people and organizations responsible for promoting and expanding DOE’s use of small businesses.

In Fiscal Year 2009, over 84 percent of Bechtel BWXT Idaho’s available dollars for subcontracting opportunities went to small businesses. “Assisting small businesses to understand opportunities to sell their goods and services within the federal system is an important part of being a quality DOE contractor and a role that BBWI has focused on during our decade in Idaho,” said A.J. Mousseau, BBWI Small Business Program manager. “Small business is an integral part of Idaho, adding diversity, strength, and value to the economy of the state. This is an achievement we are extremely proud to receive.”

The M&O Small Business Achievement Award recognizes the tangible, annual organizational results of a DOE facilities management contractor. These results are measured in terms of dollars and percentage increases in small business procurement activity, as well as the policies, programs, and procedures that promote small business use.

This was the second small business recognition award received by Bechtel BWXT Idaho at the Advanced Mixed Waste Treatment Project. In 2006, DOE recognized BBWI for another small business accomplishment with the Department’s Secretarial Small Business Award. That award was given in recognition of BBWI’s execution of DOE’s Mentor-Protégé program and BBWI’s work with Idaho Falls’ based North Wind Inc. that helped develop the small, minority-woman owned company into a firm that competes for multi-million dollar environmental management work at DOE sites, federal agencies and commercial businesses.

BBWI currently manages the Advanced Mixed Waste Treatment Project (AMWTP) at the Idaho site. AMWTP is an important component of DOE’s commitment to prepare and ship transuranic waste out of the state of Idaho. Operations at AMWTP require the retrieval, characterization, treatment and packaging of transuranic waste currently stored at DOE’s Idaho site, and sites around the DOE complex.
