The National Nuclear Security Administration last week issued the request for proposals for the next protective force services contract at the Nevada National Security Site.
The selected contractor, among a host of duties, would provide uniformed personnel to provide security at the NNSS, Remote Sensing Laboratory at Nellis Air Force Base, and North Las Vegas Complex, along with other locations as assigned by the NNSA, on a 24-hour, 365 days per year basis.
The contract would feature a one-year base period, from June 1, 2017, to May 31, 2018, followed by four single-year option periods through the end of May 2022. The estimated cost and profit of each period is yet to be determined, according to the RFP.
Questions about the RFP, along with proposals, can be submitted to the NNSA’s Nevada Field Office at [email protected]. The deadline for submissions is 4 p.m. Mountain time on Jan. 12, 2017.
Protective force strength is authorized at 180 security police officers and 24 duty officers, according to an earlier solicitation for the contract, and the contract is expected to be a performance-based fixed price/time and materials hybrid with a total five-year term worth approximately $270 million.
The Centerra Group is the current security protective force services for the Nevada National Security Site. In a notice posted on Nov. 23, the agency said it expected to award the company a contract extension around Dec. 31 of this year.
