DCMA’s NSEO maintains more than 150 work sites across 35 states and performs oversight of contractor processes and assesses and assures contractor compliance with contract quality and technical requirements. The office supports programs like the Navy’s Nuclear Propulsion Program, the Navy’s Propulsion Program, Nuclear Plant Material Program, and Level 1, which is now known as the Navy’s Submarine Safety program or SUBSAFE.
The DCMA NSEO Lynchburg quality assurance team marked the nation’s 250th birthday with a teambuilding visit to the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford, Virginia, June 25. Eight of the group’s nine members are military veterans, and the ninth member, although not a veteran, has dedicated their entire career to DCMA NSEO. The memorial offered a beautiful and reverent setting that reminded the team of why they served and why they continue to serve.
