The security provider at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Savannah River Site in South Carolina is expected to receive a four-month contract extension ahead of the end of its current deal on Oct. 7.
Florida-based Centerra could also secure another eight months on the job. That would come via two more four-month extensions, keeping the company at Savannah River for a total of one more year, according to an Aug. 22 DOE notice on the Federal Business Opportunities website.
The notice does not cite contract values. It says the planned extension “will enable the continued protection of Government owned or leased property” while the Energy Department continues searching for a follow-on security provider.
Centerra-SRS is in the final few weeks of its 10-year, $990 million contract. The company provides security support services for the Savannah River Site, including access control, property protection, law enforcement, cybersecurity, criminal investigations, and traffic control.
Companies interested in acquiring the follow-on 10-year, $1 billion contract have already submitted their proposals. They include Centerra, which aims to stay on board as the SRS security contractor.
