HII said Wednesday the Newport News Nuclear BWXT-Los Alamos JV started Wednesday the 90-day transition period under a potential 10-year, $1.39 billion contract to clean up contaminants at the national labs 36-square mile site.
The contract awarded in December 2017 by DOEs National Nuclear Security Administration has a five-year base term, a three-year option period and another two option years.
N3B will work with subcontractors Longenecker & Associates and Tech2 Solutions to respectively provide quality assurance and water program management services for the project.
SN3 is part of HIIs technical solutions division that was established in December 2016 after HII completed its purchase of Huntsville, Alabama-based government services contractor Camber Corp.
