Indefinite Delivery Contract 89243225DNE000022

The federal contract IDV award is a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) issued by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Nuclear Energy to American Centrifuge Operating, LLC, a subsidiary of Centrus Energy Corp. The contract, valued at a ceiling of $2,700,000,000, has an ultimate completion date of October 31, 2034 and is for the provision of High Assay Low Enriched Uranium (HALEU) enrichment services. This IDC falls under a parent IDIQ contract for HALEU Deconversion Services. The scope of the contract includes completing the construction of a HALEU cascade, operating it to demonstrate production of at least 900 kg of 19.75% enriched uranium annually, and collecting operational data. This work supports the Department of Energy's nuclear energy programs and initiatives. The contract was awarded on October 16, 2024, and there is no set-aside used. American Centrifuge Operating previously held a $1,036,431,676.50 definitive contract with the Department of Energy for the completion and extended production of a HALEU cascade demonstration at the DOE-owned American Centrifuge Plant.

The IDC is based on a pre-solicitation opportunity posted on June 5, 2023, with a due date of July 6, 2023, for the "Acquisition of High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium - Enrichment - DRAFT RFP". This suggests the Department of Energy is seeking to procure HALEU enrichment services to support its nuclear energy programs, likely through a competitive solicitation process. The IDC award to American Centrifuge Operating demonstrates the company's significant capabilities and experience in advanced nuclear fuel technologies and uranium enrichment processes, as well as its long-standing partnership with the Department of Energy.
