Located just north of the city of Richland, in the southeastern part of Washington State, the 586-square-mile Hanford Site is managed by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).

Hanford was established in secrecy during World War II to produce plutonium for an atomic bomb.  Peak nuclear materials production was reached in the 1960s, when eight reactors were in operation.  Altogether, Hanford supplied plutonium for the United States nuclear weapons defense for more than four decades.  All weapons material production was halted in the late 1980s, and Hanford is now engaged in the world's largest environmental cleanup project.

With a workforce of approximately 11,000 and an annual budget of nearly $1.4 billion dollars, Hanford is vigorously pursuing three cleanup outcomes: restoring the Columbia River Corridor, transitioning the central part of the Hanford Site for waste treatment and long-term storage, and putting DOE's assets to work solving regional and global environmental problems.

This site is designed to assist the commercial sector in doing business with RL, and to provide tools to enable contractors to learn of future procurement requirements.
