Nevada Test Site manager award 2016

nnsa.energy.gov... ediaroom/pressreleases/nnsa-awards-nevada-national-security-site-management-operating-contract

Management of the Nevada Test Site changes from time to time, though it always seems to be an established government contractor.

Lockheed Martin now has the contract. They formed a subsidiary to do the job, though the address is for an existing LockMart facility in Maryland.

LockMart runs Sandia, so their control over the range grows

One day in the not too distant future all "Department of Defence" signs will have a caption underneath that reads "A subsidiary of Lockheed Martin"

I was tempted to add something like that to my post. If it isn't LockMart, it is L-3. L-3 was formed out of what was not allowed to be "married" when Lockheed and Martin Marietta joined. At least Boeing might be able to incorporate into civilian products what they learn from their government work, but LockMart, Northrup, Raytheon, etc. seem to be black holes that pull in government money.

L-3 is huge, though the only part of their technology most people encounter are their airport nudie machines. Raise your hands above your head and surrender your dignity.

Not so fast...
The National Nuclear Security Administration on Wednesday rescinded a $5 billion, 10-year contract it awarded last week to a Lockheed Martin subsidiary to manage and operate the Nevada National Security Site because the company did not tell the agency it had sold the unit.

good find, I am surprised no one else has replied to this. Considering that the article states who is in control and the subsidiaries etc.
