PHOENIX, Ariz.—The National Nuclear Security Administration is planning to move forward this fiscal year with three contracting opportunities to be set aside for small businesses, an agency official said this week. Such opportunities will include a contract to provide NEPA support services, which is set to be worth approximately $125 million over five years, NNSA Small Business Program Manager Greg Gonzales said March 17 during remarks at the Waste Management conference being held in Phoenix. The contract will be competed using GSA Schedule 899, Gonzales said.
By the third quarter of this fiscal year, NNSA plans to issue a Request for Proposals for the second round of Design, Integration, Construction, Communications and Engineering (DICCE) contracts for the Second Line of Defense program, Gonzales said. The new DICCE contracts are expected to be worth $200-300 million over five years, and are expected to be Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity-type contracts with multiple awardees. NNSA also plans by the third quarter of this fiscal year to move forward with a procurement to provide information technology support for the Office of Secure Transportation, Gonzales said. The contract is expected to be worth approximately $40 million over five years, and the NNSA is still considering whether to compete the contract using a GSA schedule, he said.
