Sandia is run by the US Department of Energy as a Federally Funded Research and Development Center, which is why their URL is sandia.gov and not sandia.com. The property, real and otherwise is government property. The holder of the operating contract is irrelevant, but the principal contractor is Honeywell.
Trump can fix most of this by fixing the US Department of Energy, which he has mostly left untouched to even date.
99% of the employees are loyal to the nuclear weapons mission and have no loyalty to the operating contract holder.
These government labs are public private partnerships. Private corps contract to manage them. Whether the employees have no allegience to their managers matters not. I agree Trump needs to fix the Dept. of Energy.
My mistake on this
“Sandia National Laboratories is a multimission laboratory managed and operated by National Technology and Engineering Solutions of Sandia, LLC., a wholly owned subsidiary of Honeywell International, Inc”
