DOE Energy & National Labs Contracts — October 22, 2026

The current obligation represents roughly 29% of the base-plus-options ceiling, with $26,579,293 already outlayed, indicating funded and active work. The award runs from 2025-06-01 with a current end of 2027-05-31 and a potential end of 2030-06-04.

The delivery order is non-competed and priced cost-plus-fixed-fee, which shifts cost overrun risk to the government while capping the recipient's upside to the fixed fee. The competition signal is recorded as unknown.

Only about 18% of the $146,156,020 ceiling has been outlayed ($26,579,293), and the data does not establish a multi-year budget trend for NNSA nuclear security analysis funding, so incremental obligations are not assured.

The delivery order is non-competed and the competition signal is unknown, which is typical for FFRDC work but leaves no market-test evidence on pricing or scope.

Option period exercises and incremental obligations under the $146,156,020 ceiling could expand The Aerospace Corporation's NNSA workload through the potential end of 2030-06-04, though this is a nonprofit and not directly investable.

The NNSA delivery order to The Aerospace Corporation reflects continued federal spending on nuclear security analysis, with $41,772,736 currently obligated. The award is engineering-focused (NAICS 541715, PSC AR14), pointing to systems integration and R&D services work.

{"entity" => "The Aerospace Corporation", "reason" => "A $41,772,736 current obligation against a $146,156,020 ceiling, with $26,579,293 outlayed, makes this the sole award in the stream and the main evidence point for NNSA analysis funding. Its nonprofit status means it is not investable.", "trigger" => "Option period exercise and incremental obligation actions before the 2027-05-31 current end date"}

{"entity" => "Department of Energy NNSA", "reason" => "The agency is the sole source of this stream's funding, and the data does not establish a multi-year budget trend for the NNSA nuclear security analysis line.", "trigger" => "FY2027 appropriations resolution and any continuing resolution affecting NNSA funding levels"}
