DOE Kicks Off Procurement for Next Savannah River Site Management Contract

摘要

The Department of Energy on Wednesday kicked off a long-awaited procurement of the next Savannah River Site management and operations contract with a request for information from industry about the award that will fund the Aiken, S.C., facility's biggest nuclear-weapons programs. The agency will sort out the value, duration, and exact form of the contract after hearing back from industry. The pact will replace the contract now held by the Fluor-led Savannah River Nuclear Solutions (SRNS), which is set to expire Sept. 30, 2021 and has only a single, one-year option left, after that. That deal, first awarded in 2008 and since extended, is worth a little less than $15 billion.
