Honeywell’s decision to spin off three of its business units should not affect the company’s work with the Energy Department, a corporate spokesperson said Tuesday.
Honeywell announced Tuesday it will spin off its Homes portfolio and ADI Global Distribution business into a separate home ventilation, security, and fire-protection company, and spin its Transportation Systems segment off into an independent supplier of turbocharges for car- and truck-engines.
The company’s contracting work with DOE, on the other hand, is nested in the Aerospace segment, which will remain a part of the company.
Honeywell is a major presence across the DOE complex, with significant prime management and operations contracts for the agency’s semiautonomous National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA).
Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies, a wholly owned Honeywell subsidiary, manages NNSA’s Kansas City National Security Complex, which manufactures non-nuclear parts for nuclear weapons. Another Honeywell subsidiary, National Technology and Engineering Solutions of Sandia, manages the Sandia National Laboratories headquartered in New Mexico. The base periods on both pacts run into the 2020s.
Honeywell is also part of Mission Support and Test Services, with Jacobs Engineering Group and Stoller Newport News Nuclear,which earlier this year won the management and operations contract for the Nevada National Security Site. The partnership got the contract after the NNSA revoked an award to a Lockheed Martin subsidiary that was transferred to Leidos — apparently, without the knowledge of the semiautonomous DOE nuclear agency.
Honeywell is part of the Fluor-led Savannah River Nuclear Solutions coalition that will manage the Savannah River Site in South Carolina through Sept. 30, 2018. The team’s broad array of missions at Savannah River include cleanup and waste management, along with defense and nuclear nonproliferation.
The new liquid waste management team at Savannah River, announced this week, also features Honeywell, along with partners Bechtel and BWX Technologies.
