The National Nuclear Security Administration announced Friday the contract to manage and operate the Los Alamos National Laboratory has been awarded to Triad National Security
LLC.
Triad National Security, LLC is a limited liability company, and a consortium of Battelle Memorial Institute, the Regents of the University of California, and the Regents of Texas A&M University, Fluor Federal Services, Huntington Ingalls Industries/Stoller Newport News, Longenecker & Associates, TechSource, Strategic Management Solutions and Merrick & Company.

A looming issue for Los Alamos County is whether the county will continue to receive gross receipts taxes from the lab contractor, as it has with Los Alamos National Security.
“Los Alamos County looks forward to working with Triad National Security, LLC, the newly
announced private operating contractor at LANL,” said County Council Chair David Izraelevitz. “The County will assist Triad National Security through the transition and looks to collaborate to ensure that the County’s support of the LANL mission continues without interruption.
“If Triad National Security claims it is exempt from New Mexico gross receipts taxes it will impact government services in the State and
County. Although Triad National Security is organized as a nonprofit corporation, this does not imply that it is exempt from New Mexico taxes. We call on Triad National Security not to request such a New Mexico tax exemption.”
