TASK ORDERS FOR NNSA ECMS CONTRACT EXPECTED THIS MONTH

By ExchangeMonitor

The National Nuclear Security Administration is expected to begin issuing task orders under its Enterprise Construction Management Services blanket purchase agreement contract this month, including work for enterprise-wide support as well as support to specific construction projects, NW&M Monitor has learned. The NNSA awarded the contract to Parsons Infrastructure and Technology in late January, but the contract was held up until late March by a protest from a team led by Logistics Management Institute. When LMI withdrew the protest, NNSA moved quickly to meet with Parsons and begin work on the contract, and has spent the last several weeks refining the list of projects and the scope of task orders it plans to issue under the contract. The agency, though, has declined to comment on the contract’s status.

A one-year contract with four one-year options, the contract could be worth as much as $125 million over five years. Parsons will provide professional and technical services to strengthen NNSA’s project management efforts and will serve as a project integrator for projects across the complex valued between $10 million to $750 million. As part of the contract, it will “support NNSA in the planning and management of projects throughout the various stages of development from concept to construction, commissioning and closeout,” the agency said. “Integrating tasks under a single contractor will result in improved checks and balances, enhance federal oversight and construction management, and reduce costs.”
