Contract Strategy for the NNSA Nuclear Weapons Complex

Welcome to the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Service Center’s web site for the Contract Strategy for the NNSA Nuclear Weapons Complex.

The NNSA is planning to develop and implement a contracting strategy for its Management and Operating (M&O) Contracts that will promote more effective and efficient technical and business operations in support of a more responsive and affordable Nuclear Weapons Complex (NWC). NNSA plans to release a Request for Information (RFI) to initiate discussions on potential contracting options and contract provisions that would achieve NNSA objectives while promoting vigorous competition for new contracts through elimination of barriers to competition. The objective is to create a much more responsive and affordable NWC. Strategies could include consolidation of two or more M&O contracts, transfer of discrete work scope from one M&O contract to another, and breakout of functions for special focus from existing M&O contracts into new NNSA non-M&O prime contract(s).

NNSA will use this website as a means to exchange information with industry and other interested parties including other Federal agencies with similar contracting objectives through written comments and one-on-one meetings for this acquisition strategy.
