The University of California will continue to manage the Los Alamos National Laboratory alongside two new partners.
The U.S. Department of Energy awarded a decade-long, $25 billion contract to the new Triad National Security LLC, formed by the UC, Texas A&M University and Battelle Memorial Institute in June.
Texas A&M said in a statement that Triad National Security will be a nonprofit like its three member groups.
Los Alamos’ current contract is under a for-profit consortium that includes the UC as well as Bechtel National, Inc., BWXT Government Group Inc. and the URS unit of engineering design firm AECOM.
