Small Business Forums

Sandia National Laboratories is dedicated to investing in its community and in helping grow our diverse supplier base.  Sandia actively seeks capable, qualified small businesses, including small disadvantaged businesses, woman-owned small businesses, HUBZone small businesses, veteran-owned small businesses, and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses.

What is a Small Business Forum?

  • Your opportunity as a supplier to learn how to do business with Sandia and to network with advocates, buyers, technical personnel, and other professionals.
  • Attendees can expect an educational presentation about working with government-type contracts, upcoming procurements, and an in-depth look at the above focus area.
  • Visit “Partnerships”.  This site provides detailed information into what/how Sandia buys to help determine if Sandia is the correct market for your business.
