January 12, 2004—Computer Sciences Corporation announced recently that AdvanceMed Corporation, a CSC subsidiary, has been awarded a contract to provide occupational medicine services to the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Hanford site, located near Richland, Wash. The contract, which has three base years and seven one-year options, has an estimated value to CSC of approximately $96 million if all options are exercised.
The company will provide a full range of occupational medicine services, including medical surveillance; employee counseling and heath promotion; emergency and disaster preparedness; and monitoring of legacy health issues for approximately 11,000 personnel working at the Hanford site, the nation’s largest environmental cleanup and restoration project.
The DOE’s Hanford site was established in the 1940s as a plutonium production complex for the Manhattan Project, which developed the first atomic bomb. Operations at the site continued for more than 40 years until plutonium processing at the site ceased in the late 1980s. Cleanup of the Hanford site began in 1989.
