NNSA Ups Contract Ceiling for DICCE Contract to $790 Million

The National Nuclear Security Administration has raised the ceiling on its Design, Integration, Construction, Communication, and Engineering (DICCE) services multiple-award contract from $700 million to $790 million, allowing existing work for the NNSA’s Office of Nuclear Smuggling Detection and Deterrence to continue. In separate sole source justifications for the two remaining DICCE contractors, SES-TECH Global Solutions—a joint venture between 8(a) Alaska Native Corporation Sealaska Environmental Services and Tetra Tech—and Northstar Federal Services (formerly Randolph Construction Services), the NNSA also extended the period of performance for the contract from June 5, 2015, to Sept. 30, 2015. “The Government has determined through evaluations that in order to prevent disruption and delays to the already identified scope on contract, NSDD must increase the DICCE MAC [multiple-award contract] ceiling and extend the POP [period of performance],” the NNSA said in a notice released Friday on fbo.gov. “This ceiling increase and POP extension will ensure that the remainder of the work in countries already awarded under the [contract] can be completed.”
