The National Nuclear Security Administration’s Office of Program Integration is modifying its contract with TechSource Inc. to increase the funding ceiling for technical support services, according to a notice posted this week.
The NNSA is modifying a task order awarded under a blanket purchase agreement in May 2013 to increase the ceiling price of $5.8 million by $570,077.52. TechSource will continue its existing scope of work until the end of its period of performance on March 31.
The contractor will provide support in the form of business case activities for the NNSA office that coordinates annual updates to defense program plans, conducts analyses of issues impacting defense program missions, and prepares policy guidance, the notice said.
It said TechSource’s ongoing activities include helping improve financial execution tracking for NNSA’s defense programs; B-61 technology maturation support; and guidance with cost estimating and analyses of alternatives for NNSA programs.
The NNSA office also seeks short-term support for the W88 ALT 370 assessment and development program, the notice said, including a “self-assessment matrix to [gauge] deltas in staff between job requirements and current knowledge/experience, and closing identified deltas by developing personalized training programs for W88 ALT 370 staff.” The W88 alteration 370 is an NNSA life-extension program that features component upgrades to the W88 submarine-launched ballistic missile warhead.
