Navarro Research and Engineering

What Navarro Research and Engineering does

Navarro Research and Engineering, Inc. is a privately held federal contractor founded in 1993 and headquartered in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The company delivers environmental remediation, nuclear operations and safety, waste management, deactivation/decontamination/demolition, facilities management, and technical/professional services to U.S. federal agencies — primarily the Department of Energy (including NNSA), the Department of Defense, and NASA. Its core technical capabilities include operation of Nuclear Hazard Category 3 facilities (e.g., Hanford 222-S Laboratory), groundwater and soils remediation, hot cell and tank operations, criticality safety, and advanced reactor/fuel cycle engineering services. Navarro operates seven service lines and runs major long-running projects at the Idaho National Laboratory, White Sands Test Facility (NASA), Waste Isolation Pilot Plant/Carlsbad, Nevada National Security Site, Rocky Mountain Arsenal, and the EERE Golden Field Office, among others.

The business model is professional-services federal contracting under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with revenue generated through prime contracts and teaming arrangements awarded directly by federal agencies. Navarro has historically completed individual contracts valued up to $400M and has documented over $134M in accelerated cost savings for the government through risk-based closure of contaminated sites. Customer relationships are concentrated in U.S. federal civilian and defense agencies, with secondary engagement of commercial enterprises in nuclear and energy sectors. The company's go-to-market is enterprise field sales via direct engagement with federal program offices and strategic teaming.

The company has accelerated its strategic posture since 2024, forming Nuclear Services Partners, LLC (a joint venture with MS Technology and Strata-G combining 1,000+ employees), establishing the ISMS-Navarro, LLC JV for NASA pursuits, licensing Deep Isolation's nuclear waste storage technology (access to ~90 patents), and announcing a strategic partnership with Quadrant Nuclear Industries (June 2026) to support advanced nuclear deployment. Leadership has been expanded with multiple VP-level hires, including a Vice President of Space Programs to develop the company's "galactic portfolio" in advanced space power and nuclear propulsion. The company remains privately held and founder-led, with Dr. Susana Navarro serving as President and CEO.
