MELE TEAM AWARDED NNSA TECH SERVICES TASK ORDER

MELE Associates’ MAX3 team was awarded a $9 million task order contract to provide technical support to the National Nuclear Security Administration’s Office of Counterterrorism and Counterproliferation under the NNSA’s Technical Services Blanket Purchase Agreement Tuesday. The NNSA is currently recompeting the contract, and MELE is one of a handful of teams that have submitted bids. It has been the most successful contractor over the five-year life of the existing contract, and MELE said in a statement yesterday that it has won 36 task orders under the current blanket purchase agreement. In a statement, the NNSA said the MELE team will provide technical support and guidance to the Office of Counterterrorism and Counterproliferation in a variety of areas, including on the “efficacy of improvised nuclear designs and their impacts and implications to national and international policy” and on integrating technical information into a single office technical program execution plan. The MELE team will also guide the office’s international and technical programs while providing support in strategic planning for technology programs and activities, concept development and requirements analysis, management and program review, security and classification, information control, contingency planning, and program integration.
