The National Nuclear Security Administration appears to need a little more time to make a decision on who should win the new Nevada National Security Site environmental services contract. The NNSA has asked bidders on the new contract to extend their proposals’ expiration dates to Sept. 30, WC Monitor has learned. The NNSA did not respond when asked this week when it planned to award the new contract, or when asked about its plans to extend the incumbent contract at the site, which is currently set to expire Sept. 30.
The new NNSS environmental services contract is being maintained as a small business set-aside and is estimated to be worth $90-130 million over five years. Work to be performed under the contract will include environmental characterization and remediation services at corrective action units at the Nevada National Security Site and parts of the Nevada Test and Training Range, including Tonopah Test Range, and radioactive waste acceptance services at generator sites across the country. It is unclear how many bids have been submitted for the new contract, though incumbent Navarro-INTERA, Inc. is believed to have split up, with Navarro Research and Engineering and INTERA each leading separate bids for the recompete.
