Inc. (NFS) of 1205 Banner Hill Rd, Erwin, TN, 37650-9318, to provide Highly Enriched Uranium (HEU) purification and conversion services � initial production.

However, responsible sources that believe they can perform these services in their entirety must submit a written notification of interest and capability statement by 5:00pm Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), April 29, 2022 which will be considered by the agency. NNSA will not be responsible for any costs incurred in response to this notice. Capability statements shall be submitted via the Message function in FedConnect (located at�https://www.fedconnect.net). FedConnect is owned and operated by Unison Software, Inc. DOE/NNSA does not provide technical support for FedConnect. Capability statements submitted via a method other than FedConnect�s Message function will not be considered. A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed action based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. This notice in no way obligates the Government to award any contract or carry out any contract action. Media inquiries should be directed to NNSA�s Office of Public Affairs.
