Procurement

 

INL procures products and services that meet required quality and delivery at the best value. As such, we seek suppliers who are reliable, cost-effective, efficient and safe.

Safety at INL

In 1995, INL established a Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) to promote and ensure a safe and healthy work site, free of injury and illness. Businesses desiring to perform work at INL must commit to participate in VPP.

INL Small Business Program

INL’s Small Business Program provides significant opportunities to small, small disadvantaged, woman-owned, and HUBZone companies to establish a successful and prosperous relationship with INL. 

INL remains open and honest with information regarding its small business opportunities and volume.

Policies and Regulations

 INL does not allow marketing of future services by subcontractor employees while working under an existing subcontract. Marketing efforts are prohibited within the confines of INL unless authorized by INL’s procurement division.

INL’s environmental policy is to conduct research, development and demonstration for energy and national security in a manner that protects and preserves human health and the environment and is in full compliance with applicable environmental laws, regulations, and other​ requirements.​

INL implements this policy by integrating environmental requirements, pollution prevention, continual improvement into our work planning and execution, and taking actions to minimize the environmental impacts of our operations. We establish and communicate environmental responsibilities, provide environmental training to our workforce, and implement controls to mitigate environmental hazards.
