 The award has a minimum contract value of $2.0 million and a maximum value of $3.4 billion over a ten-year period. The ultimate dollar amount under each contract and the potential scale of the expansion supported will depend upon the scope of task orders that DOE may subsequently issue under the contracts for which we will compete. Although we believe that we are well positioned, there is no assurance that we will be awarded any task orders under any of these contracts and, if awarded, the nature, timing and amount of the task orders that may be issued under an award is uncertain. The aggregate total appropriated funding for all awardees is $3.4 billion.

On November 6, 2024, DOE issued requests for task order proposals under the HALEU Deconversion Contract and the HALEU Enrichment Contracts. DOE contemplates issuing the task orders on a time-and-material basis with a two year period of performance for the purpose of describing the technical approach and price in a optimization study to support DOE in establishing the commercial production of HALEU and commercial deconversion of HALEU, respectively. On January 9, 2025, we submitted our proposals in response to these requests for task order proposals.

Meanwhile, on November 20, 2024, the Company announced the resumption of centrifuge manufacturing activities and the expansion of its manufacturing capacity at our facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The Company is investing an additional $60.0 million over an 18 month period to lay the groundwork to support a potential large-scale expansion of uranium enrichment in Piketon, Ohio.

The Qualifying Advanced Energy Project Credit (“§48C”) was established by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and renewed and expanded under the IRA. The §48C program aims to strengthen U.S. industrial competitiveness and clean energy supply chains. On October 18, 2024, the Company submitted an application for a clean energy manufacturing and recycling project associated with re-equipping our manufacturing property at our manufacturing facility in Oak Ridge. This will recreate a viable enrichment supply chain and allow ACO to manufacture centrifuge parts to be used in centrifuge machines to enrich uranium. Our application requested an allocation of $62.4 million based on a qualified investment in eligible property of $208.0 million made by Centrus. On January 10, 2025, the Company was informed that the IRS has granted our request for $62.4 million credit allocation for this facility. Centrus now has two years to provide
