About PSC M1HA federal contract activity
PSC M1HA covers operation of government-owned, contractor-operated R&D facilities, and in the last full year it accounted for 4.40 billion across 196 awards, with an average award value of 22.46 million. The obligation profile is highly concentrated, indicating a relatively small number of large, facility-supporting actions rather than broad transactional buying.
Agency demand and leading federal buyers
The Department of Energy dominated spending for this PSC with 4.04 billion across 98 awards, representing the clear center of demand for GOCO R&D facility operations. The next largest agencies were the National Science Foundation at 255.06 million, the Department of the Navy at 76.27 million, and NASA at 41.46 million, while the Bureau of Reclamation contributed 2.41 million. This distribution shows that the category is led by DOE, with other science and defense agencies participating at much smaller scales.
Vendor concentration and leading contractors
Vendor activity is similarly concentrated. Fluor Marine Propulsion, LLC led with 1.93 billion across 21 awards, followed by Fermi Forward Discovery Group, LLC at 1.21 billion across 40 awards and Brookhaven Science Associates, LLC at 900.36 million across 37 awards. Leidos Innovations Corporation and Amentum Services Inc rounded out the top five, but at materially lower obligated amounts, reinforcing the dominance of a few facility operators.
Annual contract trend over the analysis window
The annual trend provided for 2025 shows 4.40 billion obligated across 196 awards, matching the full analysis window. With only a single year in the trend view, the data supports a snapshot assessment rather than a multi-year directional analysis. The year’s scale and concentration are consistent with recurring, long-duration operating arrangements for government-owned research facilities.

Insight
In the last full year, PSC M1HA obligated 4.40 billion across 196 awards, with an average award value of about 22.46 million. Because the window contains a single year only, no year-over-year trend can be assessed from this view. The obligation total and award count indicate a high-dollar, moderately distributed set of GOCO R&D facility operations awards rather than a small number of exceptionally large obligations.
