About this award

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) awarded Energy Research Inc. a $286,305.16 task order call under the General Services Administration's Multiple Award Schedule contract (GS23F0110M) to support TRACE (TRAC/RELAP Advanced Computational Engine) plant model development and maintenance. The work, performed in Rockville, Maryland, encompasses updates to TRACE models for Prairie Island Unit 1, Palo Verde, Point Beach, and Peach Bottom Unit 2 nuclear facilities in anticipation of new NRC rulemaking and exploratory simulations. Additionally, the contractor will provide technical support for Code Applications for Systems (CARS II), a program supporting advanced computational modeling for nuclear reactor safety analysis. The contract was awarded on July 22, 2020, with an ultimate completion date of March 7, 2021, structured as a time-and-materials engagement.

This task order leverages Energy Research Inc.'s specialized expertise in nuclear regulatory research and computational modeling under an existing NRC Federal Supply Schedule vehicle. The company, registered in SAM.gov since 2003, maintains multiple federal indefinite delivery vehicles with the NRC valued at approximately $13.7 million collectively, supporting technical assistance across nuclear facility safety, reactor licensing, and engineering analyses. The award carries no set-aside designation, indicating open market competition. The NRC's reliance on Energy Research Inc. for TRACE model development reflects the agency's broader technical support strategy to maintain and update computational tools essential for licensing reviews and regulatory decision-making in nuclear safety.
