Another way of looking at the division of Labs revenue is to categorize it by (1) operations and maintenance, (2) capital equipment, and (3) construction. This table shows this division of revenue for the past two fiscal years:
Capital equipment declined in FY 2006 to normal equipment funding levels following completion of major computer acquisitions in FY 2005. The decrease in construction revenue is due to the completion of two construction projects in FY 2006, the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies and the Exterior Communications Infrastructure Modernization projects. Further, funding for the Microsystems Engineering and Science Applications Facility is decreasing as the project nears completion over the next two years.
