The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has awarded Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies, the management and operations contractor at the National Security Campus near Kansas City, Mo., an overall rating of “Excellent” for its work in fiscal 2015, according to the performance evaluation report released last Friday. Honeywell FM&T received 94 percent of its award fee for that year, or $28.16 million of the available $30 million, for running the site that makes non-nuclear parts for nuclear weapons.
That fee percentage was the highest among the NNSA’s seven site contractors for the budget year that ended on Sept. 30, 2015.
The contractor received an “Excellent” rating and 95 percent of the award fee – $11.4 million – for the nuclear weapons mission management category, which is most heavily weighted in determining the overall at-risk fee. The report said the contractor delivered over 70,000 development and production hardware items in support of NNSA, Air Force, Navy, and United Kingdom nuclear missions in fiscal 2015. It also completed scheduled disposition activities under the Weapons Dismantlement and Disposition program on time, the evaluation said.
Honeywell FM&T received a “Very Good” rating for reducing global nuclear security threats, and 88 percent of the award fee – $1.98 million – under this category. Noted achievements in fiscal 2015 included procuring $2.5 million in equipment for the NNSA’s Emergency Communication Network and conducting over 900 assessments for the NNSA weapons of mass destruction interdiction program.
The contractor received “Excellent” ratings for the other four evaluated categories – the Department of Energy and Strategic Partnership Project mission; operations and infrastructure; science, technology, and engineering; and leadership, receiving a total of $14.8 million in award fees from those categories.
