CATAWBA-TEAPEC Joint Venture, including Project Enhancement Corporation, Awarded Five-Year DOE Environmental Management Technical Support Contract.

September 17, 2025, Project Enhancement Corporation (PEC), a leading government contracting firm specializing in environmental, health, safety, and national security solutions, is pleased to announce that Catawba-TEAPEC, a joint venture with Catawba Engineering & Environmental Services (CE&ES), Trinity Engineering Associates, Inc (TEA), PEC, and five subcontractors, has been awarded the five-year, contract by the U.S Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Environmental Management (EM).

The Consolidated Technical Support Services (CTSS) contract will provide essential support to the DOE EM headquarters, field offices, and sub-offices as the agency continues its mission to safely clean up the environmental legacy of radioactive waste and contamination resulting from nuclear weapons production and research.

Under the CTSS contract, the joint venture will provide services including:

• Safety management and quality assurance;
• Developing tank waster strategies and technologies;
• Developing new and innovative technologies for waste management;
• Supporting the planning and execution of EM waste and materials disposition;
• Developing policy and guidance on regulatory compliance; and
• Developing intergovernmental stakeholder programs.

“We are thrilled that the award continues PEC’s legacy of support for the environmental management program. Back in 1998, our first contract was for the Office of Environmental Management, and since then, without fail, we’ve been providing support for over 27 years. We continue to provide the very best people and are proud to be a part of the winning Catawba-TEAPEC team. The joint venture brings the exceptional qualifications of the three companies into a seamless and integrated contract management solution for EM” – Ricardo Martinez (President & CEO)

“PEC is very proud to be a part of the team that will be supporting EM HQ’s nuclear cleanup mission over the next 5 years. The PEC team has a long history (over 27 years) of dedicated service to DOE-EM and has a passion for the work the DOE-EM does. Many of us who support the EM contract have worked and lived in communities where DOE-EM has operations. It is not just work to be done. It’s personal and it matters to us.” – Sasha Robertson (Senior Vice President of Environment, Safety & Health Program Services)

The CTSS contract builds upon the team’s long-standing service to the DOE under a prior incumbent contract held by Catawba TEA LLC.
