In 2019 EERE selected BGS as the prime contractor on the $112M Mission Oriented Technical Support (MOTS) Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA).  BGS provides our federal partners the professional engineering, technology, and management capabilities required to manage EERE’s clean energy RDD&D program and project portfolio to achieve the nation’s energy, security, and environmental goals.  BGS’ energy engineers and scientists work side-by-side with our clients in EERE’s Washington, DC and Golden, CO locations.

BGS supports all EERE programs including Solar, Geothermal, Wind, and Water Energy Technologies; Vehicles, Bioenergy, and Fuel Cell Technologies; and Advanced Manufacturing, Buildings, Weatherization, and Federal Energy Management.   (https://www.energy.gov/eere/office-energy-efficiency-renewable-energy).  Under the MOTS contract BGS along with our industry leading partner companies, provide the technical and management expertise to assess clean energy resources and markets, to prepare the seminal studies that drive national clean energy program direction and investments, and to plan, execute, manage, and closeout EERE’s national portfolio of clean energy technologies.

While the MOTS contract represents an important step for BGS, many of our people have many years’ experience supporting EERE and clean energy efforts in general. This reflects their lifelong commitment to clean energy and a bright future for our nation.  We are committed to making substantial contributions to the EERE mission and providing exciting opportunities for our personnel to do the work they love while supporting the government sector in clean energy technology development and deployment.

BGS has established a Nuclear Safety Center of Excellence to provide Nuclear Safety Analysis and Nuclear Criticality Safety services to clients across the country from our dedicated team of engineers and nuclear safety professionals located in our Oak Ridge, Tennessee office.

There is a chronic shortage of nuclear safety specialists available to support challenging and complex projects.  This problem is especially severe for nuclear facilities at remote locations with little attraction for long-term relocation of highly sought-after personnel. BGS capitalized on our set of unique capabilities (discipline knowledge coupled with project management expertise) and leveraged the large talent pool available in the Oak Ridge area to provide a stable base for remote operations.  Our Nuclear Safety Center of Excellence provides clients with the high quality resources needed to efficiently support nuclear safety projects regardless of location.

Our goal was to provide better talent, at reduced cost, and improved efficiency.  Working from a centralized location is cost-effective, by avoiding travel and relocation costs and allows BGS to share work among qualified professionals.  Working remotely allows professional to focus on the task at hand and avoids potential distractions from client site operational activities or other unrelated issues.  We carefully manage tasks and workloads so program/project managers, task leads, and functional leads can collaborate effectively, reduce project time and make optimal use of unique resources.

Clients can use the BGS Nuclear Safety Center of Excellence in concert with their own site resources, ensuring they are never short of the nuclear safety expertise required to successfully fulfill their mission.

In a landscape of rapidly evolving threats and new technologies there is a pressing need for experts who can quickly respond and deliver effective solutions matched with each client’s unique requirements.  The BGS Cyber & Technology Innovation Center (CTIC) was established to address emerging challenges and resolve complex, costly and time-consuming cyber security problems. Whether protecting critical infrastructure or delivering innovative solutions that advance cyber research initiatives, our experience with operational requirements in nuclear, government, and research cyber security environments sets us apart.

BGS brings together expertise from government programs, national laboratories, military cyber threat teams, the intelligence community, and critical energy infrastructure to provide innovative and effective cyber security services and solutions.  Technological proficiency, partnerships with key technology providers, and access to experts in cutting-edge cyber security research enables BGS CTIC to address each client’s unique requirements, quickly and efficiently.

Using Security by Design principles, BGS CTIC assesses, designs and manages cyber security programs to meet client-specific environments and classification requirements. Our Security Operations Center capabilities include real-time security event monitoring, threat intelligence, incident response, and malware reverse engineering.

The BGS CTIC core capabilities include:

• Compliance assessments – NIST, DFARS, CSF, CMMC Preparation
• Cyber Security research – on the forefront of technologies to ensure Security by Design
• Critical infrastructure support – solving challenges in Operational Technologies, ICS/DCS/SCADA, and IoT
