The National Nuclear Security Administration’s (NNSA) Office of Planning and Programming will extend for three months its contract with TechSource Inc. for technical support services, according to a notice posted Tuesday.
The modification extends the expiration of the current task order from Nov. 12, 2016, to Feb. 12, 2017, and adds $611,372.70 to the current ceiling price of $5.2 million, the notice said. TechSource will offer advisory services in areas including U.S. nuclear weapons policy; Defense Department and Nuclear Weapons Council processes; armed services nuclear operations; Nuclear Posture Reviews, NNSA nuclear security enterprise infrastructure; and nuclear science and engineering.
Specifically, the company will support analyses of alternatives for NNSA’s lithium production, tritium production, and Los Alamos National Laboratory Technical Area TA-55 reinvestment and Plutonium Modular Approach projects. The notice said TechSource has provided subject matter expertise in these areas for 18 months, particularly for methodology and research into evaluating alternatives and developing corresponding briefing materials.
The NNSA in August extended another TechSource contract until Feb. 11, 2017, for support to the agency’s Office of Major Modernization Programs on information and data management, construction management, infrastructure and facilities management, and program capability-based investments.
