The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) will extend for another two months its contract with Synergy Solutions Inc. (SSI) for personnel security and facility clearance programs, according to a notice posted Friday. The contract involves support services to the NNSA’s 49,000 contractor and federal employees with security clearances, including background investigations of cleared employees and applicants.
The agency’s contract with Oak Ridge, Tenn.-based SSI has been extended several times since the initial contract award in November 2009. “SSI is the only company capable of providing personnel security and facility clearance support services in the time frame required,” the notice says. The two-month contract extension will not increase the ceiling of $38.8 million, it says. NNSA is evaluating proposals for a follow-on contract it expects to award in August.
