This panel session will focus on small business procurement and contracting opportunities within the DOE Complex. The DOE encourages prime contractors to obtain goods and services from small and disadvantaged businesses and often tie these goals to contract award fee. Goods and services being considered for these procurements include: decontamination and decommissioning services, remediation services, transportation and disposal of radioactive waste, health physics equipment and services, emergency response planning and training, lab services, R&D products, waste treatment services, maintenance services, A/E services and professional consulting. This panel complements Session 68 which focuses on contracting directly with the US DOE and is open to all WM2014 participants, including Exhibitors.

Panelists include: David Hess, Procurement Director, US DOE EM Consolidated Business Center; Sam Artis, Director, Small Business Liaison Office, URS Corporation William (Bill) Badger, Public Affairs and Strategy Manager, CH2M HILL; Joe Yanek, Executive Director, Fluor Government Group; Chuck Bernhard, Senior Business Development Manager, B&W Technical Services Group and Richard E. Brown, Manager of Procurement, Bechtel National, Inc., Uranium Processing Facility, Y12 National Security Complex.
