About this vehicle
The Department of Energy National Nuclear Security Administration established this Master BPA on November 1, 2017, for technical, engineering, and programmatic support services, with ordering authority closing on October 31, 2022. The vehicle is no longer active for new task-order placement.
Only three task orders have been awarded under this vehicle since establishment, with the most recent issued on December 30, 2020, yielding minimal ordering momentum. The combined potential value across all awarded task orders is $22.9 million, with $13.5 million obligated, representing 59% execution. The shared ceiling is $400 million, indicating substantial unused capacity that will not be drawn down given the ordering deadline has passed.
Mele Associates Inc. is the sole prime contractor awarded work under this vehicle, holding all three task orders and the entire $22.9 million combined potential value. The customer base is split across three DOE offices: the National Nuclear Security Administration holds the largest single order at $13.4 million potential value, the Office of Management holds $8.9 million potential value, and the Office of Environmental Management holds $609 thousand potential value. Set-aside designations reflect two unrestricted orders and one small-business order, comprising 67 and 33 percent respectively of awards.
Task orders exhibit a labor-hours pricing structure with ceiling values ranging from approximately $609 thousand to $8.9 million. The three awarded orders target plutonium program storage and disposition analysis, international affairs technical support, and defense nuclear security analytical support. Ultimate completion dates on the two most recent orders have passed as of the summary date, with the third order completed in July 2023.
This vehicle should be monitored only for historical reference or as context for understanding DOE/NNSA technical services contracting patterns. No new ordering is possible under the current vehicle structure. Firms not currently holding awards under this Master BPA will not be able to bid for new task orders.
