About this vehicle
The Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy established a Master IDIQ for High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium enrichment services on October 16, 2024, with a combined ceiling of $2.7 billion and ordering authority through October 31, 2034. The vehicle remains fully active with 8 years 3 months of ordering runway remaining.
Two task orders have been awarded since March 2026, totaling $2.21 billion in combined potential value with $1.8 billion already obligated (82% commitment). Both orders are firm fixed-price delivery orders to establish new domestic commercial HALEU production capacity and produce HALEU UF6 for DOE purchase. American Centrifuge Operating, LLC holds one order with a $1.07 billion ceiling; General Matter, Inc. holds one order with a $1.14 billion ceiling. All ordering activity to date funds the procuring agency itself—the DOE Office of Nuclear Energy.
Competition is tightly concentrated: two primes split the vehicle equally by order count, with neither holding a dominant position by potential value (General Matter at $1.14 billion versus American Centrifuge at $1.07 billion). Both task orders are unrestricted, no-set-aside awards. The first delivery order, valued at $1.135 billion ceiling with $900 million obligated, runs through March 14, 2036; the second, valued at $1.07 billion ceiling with $900 million obligated, runs through July 5, 2036.
The sourcing strategy indicates DOE's intent to secure dual domestic enrichment capacity rather than single-source supply. Remaining vehicle capacity of approximately $490 million suggests potential for follow-on orders, though the existing awards already commit most of the stated ceiling. The vehicle's nascent ordering history—two awards in four months—reflects early execution momentum on a critical national-security material supply chain.
