Facts About the PHMC |
The Project Hanford Management Contract (PHMC) provides the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) with a prime contractor, principal subcontractors, as well as other subcontractors to manage and integrate a full range of work to support cleanup of DOE’s former nuclear production facilities at the Hanford Site in southeastern Washington State. The prime contractor is responsible for conducting business in such a way as to be consistent with the following outcomes, which flow from the Hanford Strategic Plan:
- Restore the River Corridor for multiple uses,
- Transition the Central Plateau to support long-term waste management, and
- Use our assets to solve global problems.
Success in achieving these outcomes shall consider the following factors:
- Protection of worker safety and health, public safety and health, and the environment,
- Leadership and management effectiveness (Operations management),
- Management responsiveness to customers (customer service),
- Responsive communications with external and internal Hanford customers, and
- Proficient partnering with other Hanford Site Prime Contractors.
The PHMC reflects these outcomes, including incentives to achieve them as part of DOE’s initiatives to reform contracting practices, making the contracting process work better and cost less. |

The Hanford Site rests on 1,450 square kilometers (560 square miles) located north of Richland, Washington. For nearly 40 years, the Department of Energy's Hanford Site mission was dedicated to supporting the nation's national defense through the production of plutonium for use in nuclear weapons. The production mission ended in 1987 and the site is currently undergoing one of the world's largest environmental cleanup efforts.
The challenge to this effort is the legacy of radioactive and hazardous wastes from the production era. The Department's contractors at Hanford are challenged to meet radioactive and hazardous waste management needs while protecting the environment, the workforce and the public. |
