Our Departments
BPMI is organized into nine departments.
Our operations departments provide functional and technical assistance to all of our employees, while our equipment departments are responsible for coordinating the procurement of specific components from the "definition of need" phase through specification development, contract placement, design, fabrication, testing, delivery, installation, operation, repair, refurbishment, and eventual disposal at the end of its useful life.
Operations Departments
Business & Financial Operations (BFO) Department
Administers and controls BPMI's finances and all contracts with the Government. The core functions within BFO are finance, auditing, accounting, and functional development of financial business applications.
Fleet Support (FS) Department
Deploys a highly specialized and diverse staff to ensure fleet needs are met and ships stay on mission. Our supply chain experts conduct logistical and inventory management functions for the operating fleet, shipyards, and Navy stock points. They are responsible for cradle-to-grave asset management including maintaining configuration and repair part requirements to support ship construction, retrofit, and operational schedules. Our technical publications professionals publish, distribute, and maintain the technical manuals used by Sailors to operate our components. From design through operation, our engineering experts provide inspection and analytical services to maximize component performance. These services ensure submarine and aircraft carrier power plants always operate safely and reliably.
Human Resources (HR) Department
Contributes to the success of BPMI's exceptional employee experience through expert services and partnerships. HR manages core areas such as talent acquisition, learning and development, compensation, employee and labor relations, and total rewards and benefits that enable BPMI to attract, develop, and retain a diverse and skilled workforce.
Industrial Base Management (IBM) Department
Optimizes the full capability of our supply chain. IBM faces outward into the industrial base and shipyards, strengthens partnerships with existing suppliers, invests in improving supplier performance, identifies and integrates new partners, and accelerates the adoption of advanced manufacturing technology in the Program.
Operational Effectiveness (OE) Department
Responsible for providing strategic and operational direction and assessment of BPMI’s operations. This includes Prime Contract compliance, monitoring and assessing internal quality, and security and facility operations. OE is also responsible for IT systems, which includes technology development and maintenance to advance the Navy’s logistics systems, business systems to support BPMI’s mission, and data analytics to support technical and operational decisions.

Equipment Departments
Instrumentation & Control (IC) Department
Provides the electrical, electronic, and microprocessor-based equipment needed to operate, monitor, and control reactor plants. IC leads the design, manufacturing, and delivery of IC equipment, including the evaluation and application of emerging technologies, preparation of equipment specifications, technical support through the equipment's life cycle, and teaming with laboratories, shipyards, and suppliers.
Reactor Plant Heavy Equipment (RPHE) Department
Provides project lead for the design, manufacturing, testing, and delivery of equipment including steam generators, pressurizers, control drive mechanisms, reactor vessels, closure heads, and core baskets. RPHE also has procurement responsibility for reactor core and fuel work and provides field service to the shipyards to ensure satisfactory equipment maintenance and operation.
Flow Control Equipment (FCE) Department
Delivers engineering and procurement services to develop, design, procure, and support various types and models of primary and secondary system valves, centrifugal pumps, positive displacement pumps, and auxiliary equipment to ensure safe and reliable operation of naval nuclear propulsion plants.
Reactor Servicing & Simulator Equipment (RSSE) Department
Provides the means to refuel and defuel the Naval Nuclear Fleet by providing specially designed equipment, engineering, design assurance, procurement, and field support for reactor servicing work. RSSE also provides equipment to transport, process and store nuclear fuel including containers and railcars for shipment of new and used fuel. In addition, RSSE provides physical interactive engine room simulation equipment for Naval operator training and qualification.
