Nuclear Security Enterprise: Strategic Partnership Projects Can Support Mission, Operations, and Research
What GAO Found The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA)—a separately organized agency within the Department of Energy (DOE)—and its eight contractor-managed and -operated sites engage in Strategic Partnership Projects (SPP). These projects allow NNSA sites to perform work for other federal agencies and nonfederal entities and for those entities to benefit from the significant public investment in the specialized facilities and scientific and technical expertise of NNSA sites. DOE requires NNSA sites to recover the full cost of the SPP through reimbursement from partners. SPP work was generally steady in fiscal years 2019 through 2024, with total reimbursed costs of almost $15 bil.
