Lockheed Martin, a pioneer in providing energy efficient designs for data centers has been assigned the contract of developing energy efficient data center for the U.S Department of Labor (DOL).  The contact has been supposedly signed for $54.9 million, and is expected to create energy efficiency in the key DOL data centers by data consolidation.

The contract called the indefinite delivery/indefinite quality is for a period of seven years.
