DOE spent about $2.9 billion in fiscal year 2004 to support the mission of its five largest laboratories. GAO was asked to examine (1) recent trends in indirect and functional support cost rates for these five laboratories, noting key differences in how contractors classify costs, and (2) the efforts of DOE and its contractors to reduce indirect and other support costs and identify additional opportunities for savings. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-897/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-897.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-897/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-897.pdf GAO-05-897 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-05-897 Other Written Product GAO-05-897; Department of Energy: Additional Opportunities Exist for Reducing Laboratory Contractors' Support Costs; Contract administration Contractors Cost analysis Cost control Facility maintenance Facility management Federal facilities Financial analysis Internal controls Laboratories Management and operating contracts
