Fluor Marine Propulsion, LLC has recorded $14,780,532,587 in cumulative obligations under a Department of Energy (DOE) contract for management and operation of the Naval Nuclear Laboratory and support of the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program, according to federal procurement data published on USAspending.gov.

The contract, identified by award ID 89233018CNR000004, was signed on July 12, 2018, and runs through September 30, 2028, with a total contract ceiling of $18.5 billion. The obligation total reflects cumulative funding recorded against the contract over its life to date rather than a new award.

The DOE's National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Naval Reactors Laboratory Field Office serves as the awarding office, with the NNSA Naval Reactors Funds office providing funding. The contract was competed through full and open competition, drawing two offers, and carries a cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing structure with no small business set-aside. It is classified under NAICS code 541715 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences) and product service code M1HA (Operation of Government-Owned Contractor-Operated R&D Facilities).

Primary place of performance is listed as West Mifflin, Pennsylvania, in Allegheny County. Fluor Marine Propulsion, LLC is headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina, and is a subsidiary of Fluor Corporation. USAspending.gov records show 3,166 subawards issued under the contract totaling approximately $2.78 billion.

For government contracting practitioners, the contract illustrates the scale and duration of DOE's nuclear propulsion support agreements, which combine large multiyear ceilings with cost-reimbursement pricing structures typical of government-owned, contractor-operated (GOCO) facility management work.
