About this award
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) awarded a $215,220 sole-source purchase order to Veracity Nuclear, LLC on August 7, 2024, to improve and expand the FORMOSA (F6)/PARCS capabilities into a production-level tool for optimizing Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) core loading patterns. The contract, which carries no set-aside designation and is structured as a labor-hour engagement, leverages Veracity Nuclear's exclusive license to work on the F6 software, which has been integrated with core analysis software used throughout the nuclear industry. The work will be performed in Lenoir City, Tennessee, with an ultimate completion date of December 30, 2025, and was awarded under Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1 authority, which permits sole-source contracts when only one vendor can meet the government's needs.
Veracity Nuclear, a Tennessee-based limited liability company specializing in advanced nuclear technologies and computational methods, was selected as the only qualified vendor capable of delivering the requested enhancements to F6/PARCS capabilities. The company's proven expertise in nuclear reactor core simulation, optimization, and analysis—including prior Department of Energy Office of Science grants totaling approximately $1 million—positions it to execute this technical development contract effectively. The NRC's decision to pursue sole-source contracting reflects the specialized nature of F6 software licensing and the critical role that optimized PWR core loading patterns play in reactor design and operational safety.
