Battelle Energy Alliance, LLC (BEA), the management and operating contractor for the Department of Energy at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL), is seeking Expressions of Interest (EOI) for fire barrier repair services across designated facilities. This initiative addresses the inspection, assessment, and restoration of fire-rated barriers to ensure compliance with NFPA standards and federal fire protection regulations. The scope involves repairing or replacing damaged fire-rated walls, doors, and penetrations, as well as applying approved firestop materials and sealants. Work will be performed in Idaho Falls, Idaho, and throughout the INL site, including the Materials and Fuels Complex and the Advanced Test Reactor areas.
This procurement is identified under solicitation number INL-26-022 and NAICS 238310, Drywall and Insulation Contractors. Because the project involves the construction, alteration, or repair of federal buildings, the Davis-Bacon Act applies to contracts exceeding $2,000. Additionally, work performed within the 890-square-mile INL site boundary is subject to the INL Site Stabilization Agreement (SSA), a labor agreement between signatory contractors and unions, though facilities located within Idaho Falls are exempt from this specific requirement.
Interested vendors must submit their EOI by the response deadline of June 20, 2026. Submissions should detail company capabilities, relevant fire barrier experience, and business size classification. This sources sought notice serves as the initial step in identifying qualified vendors, and BEA may use the responses to develop a formal solicitation list for a future Request for Proposal (RFP). The notice is supported by two attachments titled Fire Barrier Repair EOI.pdf, and the primary point of contact for the submission process is Chase Egbert.
