Reading LAWRENCE LIVERMORE NATIONAL SECURITY, LLC's Federal Contract Record

USAspending.gov records place LAWRENCE LIVERMORE NATIONAL SECURITY, LLC at $4.9B in cumulative federal contract obligations, tied to Unique Entity Identifier PM52LCJH72T9 at the C recipient level. This figure is a rolling aggregate of every prime-award action ever reported for this recipient ID — new awards, modifications, option exercises, and de-obligations all flow into the same total, so the dollar amount shown above is a lifetime ledger rather than an annual budget. Interpreting it as a single-year spend would overstate current activity; interpreting it as a guaranteed revenue stream would overstate commitment, because modifications can cut scope or scope can simply lapse unexercised.

The C classification matters for how this record should be read. Prime recipients hold the contract directly with a federal agency and are fully responsible for performance; parent-level rollups aggregate awards across subsidiaries, which can inflate totals for large conglomerates whose operating units compete separately. The UEI PM52LCJH72T9 is the post-2022 federal identifier that replaced the DUNS number — it persists across name changes, acquisitions, and reorganizations, making it the most reliable anchor for tracking this entity over time.

For researchers, journalists, and procurement staff, the practical layer under $4.9B is verification: USAspending.gov exposes every underlying transaction by award ID, so any totals on this page can be reconstructed action-by-action through the agency's advanced search. Contract amounts displayed here reflect obligations — money the government has committed — not outlays, which is cash actually disbursed. The gap between obligation and outlay can span multiple fiscal years on multi-year contracts, so a large obligation total does not imply equivalent cash flow in any single period.
