In addition to its primary mission to the Department of Energy, Sandia provides technical resources and facilities to a variety of other federal agencies through our DOE sponsored "Work for Others" program.
Work for Others encompasses conventional defense, strategic defense, counterproliferation and nonproliferation, treaty verification, environmental cleanup and monitoring, energy uses, high-performance computing, safeguards and security, radiation effects, materials development and characterization, law enforcement, transportation, space efforts, and a variety of other national security areas.
The technology base developed through our work for the DOE has established expertise and capabilities not found in industry or in other government agencies. Therefore, these opportunities to contribute technological solutions to agencies other than the DOE help solve national needs. Work for others also benefits the supported agencies by leveraging multiagency funds and helping maintain Sandia's abilities to perform DOE missions.
Projects must be consistent with and complementary to Sandia and DOE missions. The work must not adversely impact Sandia's execution of assigned DOE programs or be in direct competition with the domestic private sector. Work for others partners use Sandia's unique facilities and resources to resolve critical technical issues.
