Steve,
Nomex is inherently fire retardant, as the fire retardency is a property of the material, not the property of a coating applied to the material, so washing Nomex will not take the flame retardency away.
Nomex can be washed.
That being said, whether it's recommended that your suit can be washed is a different matter, as you don't know what other treatments that they put on there for things like water repellancy, fabic build, etc.
If you're interesting in knowing more about Nomex, take a look at http://www.nomex.com/
