# Navy Awards $2.409B Nuclear Propulsion Modification

On September 24, 2026, the U.S. Navy awarded Fluor Marine Propulsion a $2.409 billion modification to contract N0002418C2130 for Naval Nuclear Propulsion work at the Naval Nuclear Laboratory. The work sustains research, engineering, laboratory operations, and technical support, concentrated in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (47%) and Schenectady, New York (45%), with additional activity in Idaho. This continues an established operating arrangement; it is not a newly announced open solicitation.

- The award signals continuing program demand for specialized nuclear engineering, laboratory and facility operations, testing, equipment, and workforce support.
- Contractors should treat this as an incumbent-program investment, not an invitation to submit bids. Suppliers can assess whether their capabilities align with potential support needs in the existing program supply chain.
- The concentration of work in Pittsburgh and Schenectady is relevant to firms planning regional staffing, delivery, and subcontracting support.
