NEWPORT NEWS, Va., March 02, 2016 -- Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE:HII) announced today that its SN3 subsidiary will continue supporting the Environmental Surveillance, Education and Research (ESER) contract at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Idaho Operations Office as a subcontractor to Wastren Advantage Incorporated (WAI). The contract consists of a base year beginning April 1 and four one-year options running through March 31, 2021, at a total value of $13.7 million.

SN3 has supported the ESER program for 15 years. It is an LLC partner of the incumbent team holding the ESER contract and served as the prime contractor from 2000 to 2010.

“SN3 is honored to continue supporting the Environmental Surveillance, Education and Research program,” said Eric Schweinsberg, SN3’s Idaho operations manager. “The advancement of ecological science and opportunity for community outreach is rewarding professionally and personally.”
