The National Nuclear Security Administration will extend for three months its contract with TechSource for technical support to the agency’s Office of Systems Engineering and Integration, according to a notice posted last week.
The contract requires technical support for development of integrated master schedules for the NNSA’s management and operations contractors’ schedules to reflect program milestones; updating the agency’s defense programs integrated master schedule; implementing earned value management systems; and developing schedule and cost-risk contingency analyses, among other work.
The NNSA requires its sites to use an earned value management system to coordinate schedules and work performed, with the intent of keeping programs on schedule and within cost.
The contract modification will extend TechSource’s period of performance until June 17 at an estimated value of $496,744.59. The total value of the task order, excluding the extension, is $6.6 million. The notice said the NNSA intends to initiate a competition for the follow-on requirement to the task order for these services.
The Los Alamos, N.M.-based science and engineering consulting firm in March received a two-month extension of its task order for technical support services for the NNSA’s Office of Advanced Simulation and Computing and Institutional R&D Programs.
