Since the late 1950s, BPMI has been a dedicated prime contractor—a company that has a direct contract with the federal government—for the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program (NNPP). We support the design, purchase, quality control, and delivery of major nuclear propulsion plant components installed on the U.S. Navy’s nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, submarines, and prototype plants. After delivery and installation of these components, BPMI provides upgraded replacement components in support of refueling and overhaul activities; delivers information technology and operational solutions; and aids in the ultimate storage and disposition of spent naval fuel. These broad services are fulfilled by a workforce of nearly 1,200 employees ranging in expertise from engineering and information technology to business and supply chain management. Since 1999, BPMI has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Bechtel National, Inc., a division of the Bechtel group of companies. With corporate headquarters in Reston, Virginia, Bechtel is a trusted engineering, construction, and project management partner to industry and government. Bechtel serves the Energy; Infrastructure; Manufacturing & Technology; Mining & Metals; and Nuclear, Security & Environmental markets. Their services span from initial planning and investment, through start-up and operations.
