Honeywell Federal Manufacturing and Technologies LLC, a division of Honeywell International, has been awarded a 10-year, $9 billion contract, to manage and operate the National Nuclear Security Administration’s campus in Kansas City, Mo., which handles non-nuclear components for nuclear weapons.
The components produced at the National Security Campus in Kansas City include electrical, mechanical, electronic, plastic, electro-mechanical, and metal components and hardware, which are replaced regularly in the nation’s nuclear arsenal to ensure flawless performance, reported Zack.com.
The contract represents job security for a decade for 2,500 highly skilled Honeywell FM&T workers at the campus.
Honeywell maintained operations for the National Nuclear Security Administration during the 19 months it took to move production of non-nuclear components to a new campus in Kansas City. Throughout the move, Honeywell reportedly maintained production continuity, avoiding a lapse in readiness that could be attributed to the move, according to reports.
“Our non-nuclear production capabilities are critical to our national security, and Honeywell FM&T represents the best value to the government. Honeywell has demonstrated excellent performance in advancing NNSA’s enduring mission at NSC, and this award creates workforce stability for another decade,” said NNSA Administrator Frank Klotz.
