The team of CTI-URS has been eliminated from the competition underway for the new Nevada National Security Site environmental characterization and remediation services contract, WC Monitor has learned. The National Nuclear Security Administration rejected the team’s bid because it was found to be technically unacceptable, according to officials. The NNSA did not respond to request for comment late this week. CTI Senior Vice President Joey Brown declined to comment this week, noting that the procurement is still ongoing.
It is unclear how many proposals were submitted for the new NNSS cleanup contract—along with CTI, teams led by Navarro Research and Engineering and INTERA are each believed to have bid. Notably, the incumbent NNSS environmental services contract is held by a team made of Navarro and INTERA (known as Navarro Nevada Environmental Services), with the two having decided to compete for the follow-on contract separately. The incumbent contract is set to expire Sept. 30. The new NNSS environmental services contract is being maintained as a small business set-aside and is estimated to be worth $90-130 million over five years. Work to be performed under the contract will include environmental characterization and remediation services at corrective action units at the Nevada National Security Site and parts of the Nevada Test and Training Range, including Tonopah Test Range, and radioactive waste acceptance services at generator sites across the country.
