Centerra to Receive Four-Month Extension as SRS Security Contractor

By Staff Reports

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 at the 310-square-mile facility near the city of Aiken.

As of Friday, Centerra has not received a contract extension, according to Department of Energy officials at Savannah River. There was no word on the exact timing of the extension.

Centerra-SRS is in the final few weeks of its 10-year, $990 million contract. The company employs roughly 700 workers at the site and provides a range of security support services, 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, including Centerra, submitted their proposals in May after attending an industry day on the contract in April. Twenty-two people attended the industry day, including representatives from E2 Consulting Engineers, SOC, Spectra Tech, Westech International, Veolia Nuclear Services, Paragon Systems, Innovative Partnership, Six Maritime, and Juno Management Professionals.
