About BATTELLE MEMORIAL INSTITUTE federal contract activity
BATTELLE MEMORIAL INSTITUTE recorded $7.77 billion in obligated awards across 325 awards in the last 5 years, with an average award value of $23.91 million. Activity is highly concentrated, indicating a small number of large federal actions rather than broad procurement spread.
Agency mix and customer concentration
The Department of Energy accounts for essentially all observed obligations, with $7.77 billion across 324 awards. The only other recorded agency is the Food and Drug Administration, with a single negative obligation of $950.48, which is immaterial relative to the overall profile.
Industry profile based on NAICS activity
Awarding is overwhelmingly concentrated in NAICS 541710, Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences, which matches the full positive obligation total and 324 awards. A single negative adjustment appears under NAICS 541712, but it does not materially affect the vendor’s overall category mix.
Annual contract trend over the analysis window
Annual obligations were strong and relatively stable throughout the period, ranging from $1.41 billion to $1.71 billion. The peak occurred in 2023 at $1.71 billion, followed by $1.68 billion in 2024 and $1.57 billion in 2025, while 2021 and 2022 each held near $1.41 billion.
