DOE Energy Grants — December 23, 2025

Fluor's Savannah River subsidiary secures $25B obligation (36% outlayed) through 2026 with $11.7B in options.

Hanford Tank Waste LLC awarded $1.1B delivery order (36% outlayed) with $213M options through 2026.

Three of four contracts expire by Sep 2026, risking recompetition or non-renewal.

Recompetition likely for expiring M&O contracts ending 2026-27, with full/open competition history.

Award fee dependency in cost-plus structures ties payouts to DOE metrics; only 25-36% outlayed to date.

Cost-no-fee limits margins for Stanford's $14.5B SLAC operations.

$12.5B+ in unexercised options across contracts, including $11.7B Savannah River and $213M Hanford.

Ongoing nuclear waste remediation at Savannah River/Hanford amid $9.1B+$0.4B outlays signals multi-year follow-ons.

Four contracts total $57B for site/lab ops, with 80%+ value in cost-plus M&O through 2026-27.

Universities hold 54% value in no-fee/long-term deals; for-profits capture award fees on 30%.
