Executive Summary
The sole contract in this digest is a $210.2 million firm-fixed-price delivery order awarded to North Wind Portage, Inc., a small business under the North Wind-Leidos JV LLC, by the Department of Energy for environmental remediation at the Moab and Crescent Junction sites in Utah.
This is a civilian award (0/1 defense-related), reflecting ongoing DOE environmental management spending on legacy site cleanup. The contract, awarded in 2016 with a performance period through March 2022, has $66.5 million outlayed, indicating about 32% completion. The highest-conviction signal is the stable, long-term nature of DOE environmental management, but the firm-fixed-price structure and small business designation introduce execution risk and limited scalability. Key watch items include potential contract extensions or option exercises and DOE budget allocations for environmental management.
