The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) will extend until Aug. 31, 2016, its contract with Oak Ridge, Tenn.-based Synergy Solutions Inc. (SSI) for personnel security program support, according to a justification and approval notice posted Wednesday.
The contract involves support services involving the agency’s 49,000 contractor and federal employees with security clearances, such as background investigations of cleared employees and applicants. The contract has been extended several times since the initial award in November 2009.
The extension, worth $760,537.94, moves the contract closing date from the end of June to the end of August to give the NNSA more time to award a follow-on contract that month, and will not increase the contract ceiling of $38.8 million, the notice said.
It also said that on June 20, the agency released its intent to issue a contract extension, in part to identify additional sources, but no vendors responded.
