SCOUT Analysis — DOE Market Intelligence

●

Department of Energy obligated $55.1B across 2,663 awards — Management & Operating (M&O) national-lab contracts dominate the top of the table.

●

Honeywell Aerospace ($8.7B), Triad National Security ($5.5B), and Fluor Enterprises ($5.3B) lead the awardee table. Honeywell and Fluor are family rollups: NTESS/Sandia is a Honeywell member, and Savannah River Nuclear Solutions is a Fluor member. Battelle ($4.4B) and Lawrence Livermore National Security ($3.7B) follow.

●

Primary NAICS 541712, 541330, and 562910 reflect R&D, engineering, and remediation around the weapons and science complex.

●

Open-competition dollars outside M&O are smaller but real — environmental remediation, cybersecurity, and lab support services recur in SCOUT pipelines.

Frequently Asked Questions — Department of Energy Contracting

What are reliable US government nuclear energy contracts?

The most durable federal nuclear dollars sit in DOE management-and-operating (M&O) contracts for national labs, NNSA weapons-complex sites, environmental cleanup, and advanced fuel. SCOUT ranks those awards on the DOE agency page and on the federal nuclear energy insights report using USASpending period-of-performance end dates.

How much does the Department of Energy spend on contracts?

DOE obligated $55.1B across 2,663 awards in the trailing 12 months ending October 2026 (≥$100K unique-award floor). The high average award value ($20.7M) reflects large, multi-year M&O contracts at national laboratories. Competitive open-market DOE spending is a fraction of the M&O total. Source: PrimeRFP SCOUT via USASpending.

Who operates DOE national laboratories?

DOE national laboratories are managed under long-term M&O contracts. Key operators include Triad National Security (LANL), NTESS/Sandia (SNL), Lawrence Livermore National Security (LLNL), Consolidated Nuclear Security (Pantex/Y-12), and Savannah River Nuclear Solutions (SRS). On the dollar table, Sandia rolls up to Honeywell Aerospace and Savannah River rolls up to Fluor Enterprises.

How do smaller companies win DOE contracts?

Smaller firms typically win DOE work through subcontracting relationships with M&O operators, environmental cleanup and remediation task orders, and direct awards for specialized engineering and IT services. GSA MAS and OASIS+ are also used for support services.

Meanwhile VA's service-disabled veteran-owned contract actions fell 15.3%. The same agency, the same month, the large-vendor lane expanding while the small-business lane contracted. Figures are civilian-agency obligations through 2026-08-31; DoD FPDS for this window is labeled incomplete.

Data & Methodology

Federal contract and award data sourced from government procurement systems — including FPDS-NG, SAM.gov, and related federal data repositories. PrimeRFP SCOUT ingests, normalizes, and continuously updates records as agencies publish them. Reporting timelines vary by agency; some components (particularly DoD) carry a 60–90 day lag relative to award execution.

Dataset coverage — ≥ $100K floor

All intelligence on this page and within SCOUT is filtered to federal contract awards whose current total award value is $100K or more. PrimeRFP applies this floor at the award level (on current_total_value_award), not per-transaction, so large awards split across many mid-size obligation lines are retained in full. PrimeRFP's own empirical sampling against the raw USASpending dataset shows this threshold captures 98%+ of total federal contract dollars while excluding a long tail of micro-purchases, small modifications, and administrative actions — the trade-off that makes market intelligence tractable without distorting the dollar picture. Coverage: 560,000+ active contract awards and 2.5M+ unique awardees, including small-business set-asides, task orders, and mid-market opportunities.

Award identification: Each record is keyed by federal Award ID (PIID). Task orders recorded as independent awards appear as separate rows. IDIQs and their task orders are tracked distinctly.

Why SCOUT dollar figures differ from published annual totals: Per-agency dollar figures on SCOUT intelligence pages aggregate all USASpending transaction records — including base contract awards, task orders, delivery orders, and modifications to existing contracts. Annual federal contract obligation figures cited in industry reports (e.g., FY2025: $833.8B per Bloomberg Government) count only new prime award actions in the fiscal year, excluding mods. An IDIQ vehicle (like OASIS+) carries no obligation at award — only task orders issued against it are counted. SCOUT's transaction-level aggregates are larger because they capture the full activity picture across a contract's lifecycle, making them useful for competitive analysis and pipeline sizing rather than year-over-year spending comparison.
