About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has awarded a sole source task order to Tetra Tech Inc. for providing Technical Support Services related to National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance for the Pit Production Program at Los Alamos National Laboratory and Savannah River Site. The justification for this limited source contract stems from urgent national security requirements to maintain a safe and reliable nuclear weapons stockpile, specifically the mandate to produce at least 80 plutonium pits annually as identified in the 2022 Nuclear Posture Review. Recent litigation outcomes necessitated the preparation of a Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) within a two-year timeframe, and Tetra Tech was selected due to its unique qualifications, including Q-cleared personnel and historical project insights that would prevent potential delays in critical national security efforts. The contract falls under the environmental consulting services NAICS code 541620 with a size standard of $19 million, and was awarded on 03/13/2025 under the authority of FAR 6.302-2. Tetra Tech's selection was deemed critical to avoid severe disruptions that could potentially cause serious injury to U.S. government and national security interests.

Synopsis:
The U.S. Department of Energy, National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), Field Services Acquisition Branch has awarded a sole source task order under the authority of FAR 6.302-2 and 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(2) to Tetra Tech Inc. for providing Technical Support Services for National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance associated with the Pit Production Program at Los Alamos National Laboratory and Savannah River Site for the Office of the Environment, Safety, and Health. Tetra Tech Inc. is a large business and has previously performed the required services to NNSA.
The urgent and compelling nature of this task order is embedded in NNSA’s obligation to maintain a safe, secure, and reliable nuclear weapons stockpile. The 2022 Nuclear Posture Review identified plutonium pit production as the highest primary priority over the next ten years. To meet the need outlined in Congressional legislation and requirements delineated by the Department of Defense, DOE/NNSA must establish a workforce and infrastructure capable of producing no fewer than 80 pits per year as soon as possible. As a result of recent litigation outcomes from February 14, 2025, DOE/NNSA must prepare a Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) to continue working on modernizing plutonium efforts. Tetra Tech Inc. maintains the key personnel who have the specific historical insight to address the litigation requirements within a short timeframe and these subject matter experts are vital in providing these services immediately in the timeframe identified. Tetra Tech’s active knowledge of the operating environment, along with its Q-cleared personnel are essential to provide seamless performance for completing the PEIS process within a two-year timeframe. Award to any other contractor would cause severe delays and potential pit production disruptions that could cause serious injury to the U.S. Government and national security. The applicable NAICS is 541620 Environmental Consulting Services with a size standard of $19 million.
This Limited Source Justification is being made available to the public in accordance with FAR 6.305(a).
