Where the Department's dollars actually go.

The whole Department of Energy (USAspending toptier agency 089) as recorded in the public spending feed: budgetary resources and obligations by fiscal year, and the largest contract awards. DOE runs largely through management-and-operating (M&O) contracts — the seventeen National Laboratories and the weapons / cleanup sites are contractor-operated — so the execution side of the topline is dominated by a handful of very large M&O vehicles.

Data currency

DOE publishes contract-award detail without the Department of War's 90-day OPSEC withholding. Normal USAspending reporting lag still applies, so the contracts table is shown for the latest fully-loaded fiscal year; the in-progress fiscal year is partial and would understate.

Largest contract awards

Ranked by total obligated amount on the award. These are management-and-operating (M&O) vehicles for the National Laboratories and the weapons / cleanup sites; their obligated totals accumulate across many decades of option years — a measure of award size, not single-year spend (which is why the top-15 total runs well above one year's obligations).
