The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) said Friday it has awarded the contract for management and operation of the Nevada National Security Site to Nevada Site Science Support and Technologies Corp. (NVS3T).
NVS3T is a wholly owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin Integrated Technology, and will be supported in the contract by Fluor Federal Services and Longenecker & Associates.
The contractor was chosen out of five bids, the award notice said, as “The Source Selection Authority determined that the NVS3T proposal represented the best value to the Government, based on the evaluation criteria specified in the RFP: past performance, organizational structure/management team, small business utilization, and price.”
The total contract is valued at $5 billion over 10 years if all options are exercised, the NNSA said. NVS3T will support the NNSA’s Stockpile Stewardship Program, its nuclear nonproliferation and counterterrorism activities, national emergency response efforts, nuclear monitoring and verification, and infrastructure, maintenance, and recapitalization projects.
The NNSA’s current contract with National Security Technologies (NSTec), a team of Northrop Grumman, AECOM, CH2M, and BWX Technologies, was scheduled to expire on Sept. 30 but will be extended to accommodate a four-month transition period.
NSTec did not provide a comment by press time.
